He needs to be properly trained as a peace officer first, before he even handles a gun. Reckless, but expected in modern day Thailand. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai police playing the roles of "The Keystone Cops" was a laughable event many times ,but when they start using weapons that they do not have any idea of HOW or WHEN to use changes the scenes of comedy to ones of a very dangerous nature.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon4637435435 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 they didnt give chase. even the officers crappy lil cbr150 could basically keep up with a crappy hilux. He cant mono to endo hop the gutter? Needs gun, bike and police education!!! Im not a trained police officer but could catch so many ceiminals daily without working up a sweat. Whats wrong with the police? Suns too hot, lunch time is in 5, still hungover from breakfast. Whats going on? Thai police should be road block experts. Its all they do!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retfed50 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Since when does carrying illegal oil justify the use of deadly force? Totally irresponsible and insane, putting innocent bystanders at risk. Speaking as a former law enforcement officer and firearms instructor, that's just as bad as firing warning shots. Even if they did get lucky, do they think when the tire blows, a speeding vehicle is automatically move in a straight line, slow down, and then stop? They have no clue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this guy employed? The meter box outside my place has a hole both sides where a cop apparently blasted away at a rapidly departing narcocar. I heard the gunfire upstairs, and ducked down as it sounded like the shells were rattling across the roof. About 10 bullets fired. Doesn't quite beat the dodgy car import place across the road that had its plate glass holed by a spray of bullets from some sort of automatic weapon, fired by a pillion rider. Just a small selection of every day country life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
