  1. Quite so, its like if you are diving instructor its an occupational hazard you may drown, but you try and avoid it?????
  2. Certainly tasered and cuffed, highly unlikely to be shot, you can see how many folks are in close proximity?
  3. Quite agree, once this gets on social media, maybe already has?
  4. Well I am pretty sure the cops won't be too pleased?????
  5. I agree they showed restraint, but if this gets in Tik Tok there is gonna be someone else that sees it and will try it out?
  6. Unlikely, he would certainly have been tasered and arrested though!
  7. Its easy to avoid trouble, Don't go Thailand????
  8. The Chinese guy was swinging a skateboard around, attempting to strike the police. Should have been charged with attempted assault at the minimum.!
  9. So you must have really really good vision, you can see they don't have a driving license.????
  10. So all these fairly young men are out at 4.30 am causing problems? From the article: "The eyewitness also mentioned that this foreign group had been causing disturbances in the alley, riding their motorcycles loudly throughout the night, disregarding traffic rules, and not wearing helmets." Not a cop to be seen apparently? Are these guys tourists? They are certainly not retirees?
  11. Whilst I agree with your sentiment, Muslims do drink alcohol and do visit houses of ill repute. I have worked in several Muslim countries, Indonesia, Iran, KSA,. They are not supposed to drink, but when they are out of their country they do imbibe! Certainly agree why the RTP cannot deal with these perps more severely!
  12. Love it, but not so far from the truth?
  13. You are absolutely correct, but you are not really comparing apples with apples. In the USA bouncers in some states must go on an approved training course before they can get a job as a bouncer, then there strict rules they must abide by, or they could get sued. In Thailand its like the wild west, the bouncers aren't trained, there is obviously a language problem sometimes and things get out of hand very quickly? And of course nobody gets sued!
  14. It wasn't a 'punch', it was a limp slap, he should NOT have done it, but there is a difference!
  15. Agreed, I think you hit the nail on the head with the word 'professional'?
  16. Fair enough, but is it the same reason they can't show guns on TV, or smoking?????
  17. "Senior policeman faces charges, disciplinary action and possible dismissal from the police force, two other prior complaints already reported against him" Even if found guilty will probably only be transferred to an inactive post? Maybe dismissed? In reality he needs 15 years in prison!
  18. Love the sarcasm , but you might give them ideas?????
  19. Well at least BMW smart cars? But even those don't work by the looks of it?
  20. You never in Thailand, stranger things have happened?????
