I will never understand how in times like these an oppressive regime can rely on a police force or military to go out and tread on the populace they've sworn to protect.
The vast majority of the police and military are ordinary people most likely held in contempt by the upper heirarchy of Thai society but nonetheless they will still point their water cannon, wield their baton's or fire their weapons at crowds who merely want an overwhelming result respected.
I long for the day when the police and military join hands with these people, because they are the same, refuse to obey evil orders and say enough is enough, your time is over.
