Unfortunately this racist policeman does not seem to bring these "dark-skinned" people to court to stand trial! I believe that many are just deported! I know of Christian churches in Bangkok which have been raided by the police and at least one pastor arrested and deported even though his paperwork was all in order. Targetting any racial group is never justified! There are good and bad people of every race, colour or creed. Ethnic victimisation is abhorrent and has no place in 21st century! Remember Nazi Germany in the 30's! I am all in favour of arresting criminals and giving them a fair trial, but this should be across the board and include all nationalities.

It's obviously the African guys' visibility, and the fact that a good proportion seem to be involved in something dodgy, which has made them a target, and an easy one. I suppose with the other guys you mention there's a fairly large population of legitimate ex-pats, tourists, or immigrants that they blend into - not so easy to target.

Looking forward to them shining the spotlight on retired old Westerners, then hearing you lot squeal about injustice etc.

Surachet added that many of the suspects that have been arrested had sums like 300-400,000 baht in bank accounts with no explanation of where the money had come from.

But how will they know who the bad ones are? They all have white skin...

[barefootbangkok]

"Big Joke" is a great role model for police everywhere. It's impressive how much one person can do. Posters love to make fun of his moniker but he's showing the joke is on all the criminals he catches!

[The Deerhunter]

TWO things.  1. They take the DNA to cross check somehiw against future attempts to re-enter.  GOOD!!!  2.  I wonder what happens to the contents of those bank accounts.  I trust they go straight to the IRD consolidated fund.

That is a bit silly.  Getting rid of illegal immigrants who are involved in crime can only improve the place, but a stronger line on domestic crims is also needed, but for real crimes not mushroom picking etc.

It's a good thing the Thai people aren't racist.

What's wrong with the Ukrainian hookers?

[alwaysrainsinUK]

Good job , kick them all out as all their good for is exactly how said in the article. their destroying Europe also but the light foots are letting them carry on their crime  there.

[KiChakayan]

I guess Thai (Big) criminals are seen as acceptable. Hence the nickname...

"....russian sex trainers"?!

The others, ok, but that sex trainer chick from Belarus, that's a different story.  She may be helping people get over their sexual hang-ups.  Sexual problems are a big issue that we rarely hear about in public forum.  That's probably the #2 reason for married couples breaking up (#1 is money issues).

Surachet - deputy commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau known as Big Joke in the Thai media - said unashamedly that most of those arrested were dark skinned. 

Well done - no "political correctness" BS  - just the facts!

Just one more group left. The kiddy diddlers. The lowest of the low. The pedos. Scum.  Those should be found and thrown into nastiest of the prisons and made to do the hardest time.

True story. About two years ago was lying in bed in my modest condo in Ramkamhaeng Rd, BKK. There was a lot of banging and shuffling noises going on in the apartment above. I leapt out of bed and courageously went upstairs to give whoever it was a piece of my mind. Knocked on the door which opened and I peered inside to see about 15 black African faces looking at me. Not a stick of furniture in the unit and they were all sitting around on fully filled black plastic bags. 

They looked as frightened as I did. I said a few gentle words of complaint and bolted while they looked relieved to see me go. Thankfully I never saw them again. Heaven only knows what was in those bags.

Your drug dealers?

These Africans have nothing to lose even if their arrested and imprisoned. They have nothing to lose. Many of them are wanted back home or elsewhere in the world.  If Thai immigration adopted Aussie immigration tactics they would rid themselves of these troublemakers.

Most likely bags of cheap clothing that they export back to Africa.    Not everyone from Africa is a drug dealer.
