webfact Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Video: Like an action movie as gun toting cops thwarted in Rayong drugs bust video screenshot CCTV footage from outside a gas station in Rayong showed cops in two vehicles try to hem in a pick-up suspected of carrying a drugs gang. As one car attempted to block from the rear another police vehicle came alongside and several officers confronted the pick up driver. But he reversed in a flurry of dust and black smoke through a mini-mart sign and back onto the road. The pick-up then made its escape as officers attempted to shoot out the tires, reported Sanook. Sanook said it was like an action movie reporting that the incident occurred around midday on Friday at the PTT gas station on the Pluak Daeng to Saphan 4 road in Pluak Daeng district. Earlier an informant had told Pluak Daeng cops there would be a drugs delivery. No arrest was made as the pick-up driving in the direction of Saphan 4 market escaped.

gk10002000 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Damn, here in the USA, once that truck makes a move towards the cops, there likely would be a hail of bullets and not just at the tires. But how he escapes just amazes me. No cop radios? No communication? No other units in the area? What a bunch of amateurs. Now they will go check the license plate (maybe) then wait a while to see if he is connected, then they will probably drop the issue and do nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLewis Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not a good day for the cops. Shackled guys get away on video and now this. Up at the top we have a chief trying to let a rich forest poacher off as well. Bent from the top to the bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Why didn't the grey cop car just stay pulled up directly behind him like he did on the first run. Why back away and come in at a stupid angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammieuk1 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Who thought it would be a great idea to confront a probable armed gang in a petrol station and has the pickup had its emissions test pass revoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterquixote Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don't agree it makes the cops look idiots. The block was reasonable, its true they could have used a heavy truck, but they could have shot into the cab to kill, but did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob1million Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Attempted is right but thats it It is actually more difficult to hit a Target than most think But on saying that 2 cops with Glocks or similar should not have a problem with a least 1 bullet hitting the desired place on the vehicle. Some more training I would think not just for shooting at an offender but controlling those shots for public safetySent from my SM-G900I using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1duckyboy Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just like a Hollywood movie, only in slow motion. If this happened in the U.S. he would have been dead because he came at the cops with a deadly weapon, his car. I wonder if the BIB will be transferred.

Not paid well enough to risk getting injured by rough fellows like that. RTP. Underpaid, undertrained and in a setup like this, well undermanned and under supported by vehicles in the actual block and stop or ready backup staff. Rank amateurs playing as professionals.
