That's for goddamn sure... you run towards a police officer with a cleaver... you are crippled with bulletssss!!!  You end up with more holes than a Swiss cheese!

30 policemen took more than an hour to subdue a drug addict...

It's all the hours of high intensity training that allowed them to do that in such a short time!

Exactly... one .38 and problem solved, he's out of this world & his father can live out his life in peace!

Yep then the fat assed cops would be off down to the nearest donut shop to celebrate. Yeeha cowboy ? ? 

It's easy for keyboard warriors to be critical of the police. They are trying to deal with a person who is high on Yaa Baa. Addicts can be freakishly strong and also feel no pain. Meantime, the police have a duty to restrain the addict without injuring or killing him. If they do, there will be another batch of keyboard warriors screaming police brutality.

I agree, one well placed bullet would save time of police, prisons, druggie's father and keep Police from driving on railroad tracks?

Yes, we know. They even shoot someone for not getting out of a car when ordered. Thailand seems more civilised in that respect.

Sad what drugs do to families.

They always cover the handcuffs or in movies or on TV blurr them. 

What Thailand needs now is a very big scale labour camp to house such candidate!

In the UK he would have had the BBC say how bullied he was since birth, a snowflake liberal jury to get him off, a team of social workers to claim how he was the victim and a 130,000 pounds worth of taxpayers money as compensation!!!

Tasers, stun guns plastic bullets or  tear gas would have been better than clothes racks.

 

What was his crime? Being high?  If 30 cops started chasing me with clothes racks, I would defend myself with anything that was available.

 

500baht........Next!

 

 

 

 

 

 

He had already threatened his own father and thrown bottles at around thirty cops and rescue workers who were trying to take him down.

 

He even covered himself in fuel and threatened to set light to himself before he was successfully taken into custody.

 

its all there in black and white!!

So if it takes 30 cops to apprehend  1 man, high on Yaba, in Khon Kaen, 13 cops to apprehend 1 monk in Frankfurt, how many cops does it take to apprehend a Red Bull fugitive, in who knows where?

…or a fugitive running off to Dubai!!

dear daddy do like the other daddy did  a while back

buy a smith and wesson 38 empty on use lless son

go get a haircut do merit and give ur self up

u will be a national hero

I commend the Thai cops for their restraint and professionalism.  In the US the cops would have summarily executed the guy.

Made up, politically motivated charges don't register with Interpol and the international community.

I can’t tell whether you posted that as a positive or a negative.

It is called suicide by cop, give them credit they didn't kill the guy or beat him up to much

Absolutely true. Most likely within a nano second after he threw anything at an officer a hail of bullets would have followed.

That's a well-coordinated team. They must rehearse a lot.

Yes, consistent hard daily training for this scenario. Pure muscle memory; however, 1/2" pvc is used for training. The clothes racks are saved for real events such as this.

Illustrates that locking up drug addicts does not solve anything. They relapse as soon as they get out, which is to be expected as the cause of their problem is not addressed, there is zero rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation particularly does not work if the people like taking drugs and want to continue as soon as the treatment program finishes.  And there is plenty of rehab offered in Chonburi province to first and second time caught users and some third time caught users.  But, as soon as they are released they are home boasting that they won't get caught again as now they know what mistake they made and they are now definitely smarter than the cops.  And all their druggie friends arrive with more Ya Ba.   Free to start with, just to make sure they don't forget the habit   Well that  happens round here.  So prison doesn't work?  Well while they are there it stops them threatening to kill members of their family who can't afford to give them the money they demand with menaces to buy their drugs.   Mothers and fathers living in fear of their sons.  So to get the money they go selling drugs, which is what their "friends" wanted anyway.   And, surprise, surprise, they get caught again but this time it is selling and their mother's truck they took with menaces is still impounded over a year after the arrest.    They get five years with no rehabilitation as by now they are clearly a waste of effort and resources.   That definitely happens round here too.  But Mother may not have a truck now, but at least she can sleep at night for the first time in years.  Prison doesn't work you say?  Tell me the REAL other options.

For sure a bullet in the head would have been faster and easier but it isn't what police are supposed to do on a case like this. Their duty was to get him safely and hand him to the justice system...

Why all those cops run for one men??? so funny!!

A match could have bought about a speedy conclusion.  

 

Yaba maybe the reason but never an excuse.
