Video: Are these cops kicking a man off his motorbike?

[soistalker]

That's totally legally in Thailand.

Ok...maybe not legal. But the police can totally get away with that like it's legal.

No they could have shot him as can happen in a few countries 

As I said to the previous posters who suggested this. 

 

Yep, he could have. 

 

Thank you for your contribution.

I am not sure either.  

 

And I think the officer delivered an expertly placed kick to the rear end of the bike.

See above or elsewhere.

 

I’m not answering the same suggestion a third time.

Send me her contact details and I will.

The man in uniform appears to be a security guard, not wearing standard police uniform.

 

This report is inconclusive anyway, so no way of knowing who is in the wrong here.

they were police officers and they kick the person of the bike i would say reckless driving .. 

 

The guy was fleeing from the police and ignoring lawful requests from a uniformed officer to stop.

 

Had he been in some other counties he'd have been shot off!

[toofarnorth]

If it was the guy who shot his daughter and son in law and he was doing a runner we would all be happy. But we don't have all the details ( as usual ).

[Searat7]

I didn’t hear siren or see flashing lights on the motorbike.  Attempted murder.

Looks like they were in  pursuit and he wasn't complying to stop so they resorted to stopping him the only way left

They could have shot him but they are gentlemen, and as we all know shooting someone in the back is not gentlemanly!

It is also possible that the driver was on his way to the hospital because he was suffering from a heart attack and stopping would be fatal. Our he was bringing medicine his child needed to receive in the next five minutes to save his life. Or a thousand other extenuating reasons. At this point we don't know. The policeman also did not know the reason for not immediately stopping and yet felt he had three right to kill the driver (since that obviously would always be a potential result of a high-speed crash.)

It is NOT ok for police to use more force than necessary to enforce ANY law. Would you say it would be ok for a policeman to fire a bullet into your brain because you dropped a chewing gum wrapper?

This kind of thinker can potentially cause many other accidents or even fatalities with the their stupid actions to avoid, at best, extortion or, at worst, a term of imprisonment and at what risk? Me or someone I care about hospitalised or killed?

kick the <deleted> of the bike at the first possible convenience IMO. Lessen the impact on any other poor innocent bugger.

Well done by the police. The guy got a few bruices, so what? He was lucky not to take a bullitt or 3

In the big picture, police acting like criminals is part of the problem, not the solution.

Why??? In a lot of other countries the police would shot him down from his bike!!!

 

Nothing wrong from the policeman!!!

hmmm; guess then it is somehow ok if the rider of the fallen bike is injured or killed

Tough titties if he failed to stop for the Police or had committed a crime!

 

But to date we really do not know the reason for the incident. So perhaps we should withhold our comments. My reply was made in respect of the poster's comment.

[flyingfox1]

Until I hear full facts to why the cop did that I will withhold my judgment but having said that cop waited until he had the perfect shot and executed it like a pro

I am surprised by the absolutely crap video footage and at close range too. Cannot make out any number plates or any significant info. Reminder to myself-don't buy one of those !

[whaleboneman]

I thought the Thai that punched the Brit was right out of line...until I saw the video of what happened before. For this reason I'll reserve judgement on the cop.

No, they could have shot out his tires. I don't think they carry lassos.

You should see them grabbing and swinging and bikers ON THE HIGHWAY in Chiang Mai. Nothing like going full speed and have them run in front of you grabbing it hitting at your arms if you’re not stopping fast enough for them.

 

Scumbags, all.

Could also have shot him.....

But, it is in Hat Tai.

Enough said?

Thai style high speed police chase on mopeds doing 60km/h, can someone add Benny Hill music? :)

You’re a bit late - 5th person to say this- however

 

Yep, they could have done that.

They could have continued to pursue him until he got ever more desperate and caused an accident which killed an innocent person.

I thought the whole point of traffic police was to prevent such things without attempting to kill those they are pursuing.
