A bunch of BS in the airline response. Airbus and Boeing have nothing to do with it if some 20 year old plane needs seat maintenance. The seats are airline customer items with separate manufacturers around the globe with hundreds of different models of seats available which airline chooses which one they want to use and all spare parts and maintenance is either the seat manufacturer or airlines responsibility especially on 20 year old planes. The problem might be that nobody has spare seats in stock with the exact thai airways specific colors and sprinkling in some seats with different airline colors looks very bad.

They undeniably assaulted the cop. Video shows them wrestling the cop to the ground and holding him in chokehold. That is an assault 100%. It does not matter what was the reason for the assault and whether the lads stopped after the assault. It was an assault 100%. About the reason there are several parties which judge the validity of the reason differently. The Thai law and Thai Cops and Judges probably think there is zero reason to make assaulting a cop acceptable and this is what matters. The lads are going to prison for a long time no matter what reason the lads think was the reason. Some people here seems to think that any reason or no reason makes it acceptable to assault a cop since that is what you have now and you think this was acceptable. There has been absolutely zero justification presented for the assault and you still think it was acceptable. Most people do not think that your imagined self invented "reason" that the cop was holding the gun out of holster makes is okay to assault the cop and none other of your self invented "reasons" also make it okay to assault a cop. There has been no epidemic of cops shooting tourists and so if the cop had the gun out it was probably for a good reason and it does not allow foreigners to assault a cop. Even if there was no good reason for the cop to have gun out it still does not justify assaulting the cop. imagine doing this for an american cop. A big chunk of americans think that even if the cop has already shot towards the immigrant looking people and the immigrant looking people then assault the cop as self defence that just gives the cop the right to finish the job and execute the immigrant looking people on the spot shooting them 20 times each.
