Totally disagree. In London about 90% of all knife crime is committed by black , mostly in gangs. Records now show stop for knives search is 80% black I think. Is is wrong to target black people who are committing the crimes and murder ? I would say no. Profiling yes, racist no. Stopping and search bearded Asians getting on train with rucksacks to me is caution - not racism - you would hardly search little old white or black granny would you for Islamic terrorism. Racial profiling is not racist. If the ethnic group (white, black, asian whatever) stopped committing the crimes then maybe the profiling would stop. Only themselves to blame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merylhighground Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 SO how did that 'good guys in, bad guys out' thing from two years ago pan out? Not a roaring success I see, as this seems to be the third or fourth such 'round up' in the last month..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be un-contactable, and if by some miracle you managed to get through to report a crime as a tourist they weren't able to speak even pidgin English. A few months ago I got a traffic ticket. I called the tourist police number 1155 and spoke with someone who answered all my questions in fluent English. I also ran into a tourist police officer at a McThai restaurant who also spoke English well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would explain that my role was to protect foreign tourists from the Thai police, (a tongue-in-cheek statement, but sometimes not far from the truth). That's funny because I always considered the tourist police to be the police who arrest the tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 8 hours ago, webfact said: 144 ‘coloured’ foreigners rounded up nationwide By The Nation Tourist police last night rounded up 144 foreigners, most of them from Nigeria and Cameroon, in a race-based campaign targeting “coloured” people engaged in various crimes. Tourist police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal, who spearheaded the raids, also repeated his order for a nationwide search for "illegal" foreigners. Surachet changed the name of the ongoing operation from “Operation Black Eagles” to “X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner” as police searched 110 spots around the country. The night’s raids resulted in 144 arrests, Surachet said at a 1:40am post-raid press conference at the Rotfai Market on Ratchadapisek Road in Bangkok’s Din Daeng district. In Bangkok alone 41 were arrested, 25 for allegedly having unlawfully entered the kingdom, 15 for overstaying their visas and three over drug use. Surachet said all those arrested would be blacklisted and deported. He told reporters that the searches focussed on "coloured" people who came to use Thailand to carry out various crimes, including romance scams, call-centre scams, prostitution, human trafficking and drug trafficking. Surachet said some illegal foreigners had come to work as English teachers in international or bilingual schools, including teaching English to kindergarten kids in Chon Buri. Police would later check with the schools to discover whether the English teachers have legal document to live in the Kingdom, Surachet added.

JemJem Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I can easily guess what several of the posts in this thread are like : praising the Thai police for this operation, just because of the race-based aspect of it. Sad. It IS really sad, what this world is coming to. Especially with the victory of Trump, bigotry has become sort of 'fashionable'. And, a lot of the time, it is being done 'in the name of being anti-PC', which is a lame excuse for the bigotry. The bigotry coming from Islamists and 'White-Power' types is really a blow to human decency, I think. Two main threats to humanity, in my opinion (and hence my signature in this forum; hehe). If the Police must target illegal workers, they should target them regardless of ethnic origin, race, nationality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonron Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The move is the move isn’t really appreciative but why target only some of the entire lot.. there are several illegals working as teachers on tourist visas and without work permits.. most of them are from the so called English speaking countries but the majority doesn’t have degrees ..taxi drivers plumbers tinkers electricians ... u name them and they are all here English teachers... hahahaha.. target those illegals and clean up the mess.. at least I believe that most of these people from Africa have degrees though they might be illegals ...

And in this case they are more likely to commit crimes. You have just stated a great case for racial profiling. If a racial sub-group won't police themselves and refuse to change their thieving and scamming ways, then why should the police target white grannies or Asian toddlers? You complain about the police for arresting African serial criminals for illegal entry, overstay, unqualified to teach, no work permit, drug dealing, scamming, pedophilia. Police doing a job tax payers pay them to do. Nothing racist about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be racist, if they were devoting equal attention to all the non-black overstayers, illegal enterers and bogus teachers. And there certainly are plenty of those. But only the blacks are being targeted by the Thai police in these campaigns. There's only one word to call that kind of policing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
