Case closed. Is Big Joke on this case ? 

He's on the main photo. Perhaps only on a holiday and just passed by, who knows.

Iff a policeman attack you for no reason you don't have to keep your hands on your back and let you get hurt. what the tourist did wrong was not take the gun away and wait for more police ( tourist police ) to come. Sad, R.I.P mister.

sad...  but... who in their right mind fights an armed cop ...  anyone carrying a gun is best treating with peace in mind ...   yes sir .. no sir ..  3 bags full sir

Do we know the cop was in uniform with open carry weapon at the time of his attack?

Need the video.

In Thailand pretty girls are often attracted to “cops”.  I don’t know whether its the tight uniforms, the power to elicit fear, the machismo or what.  So if your gf has ever had a beau who was a cop and you are not 1000% sure she’s actually cut the cord or he’s the jealous type I would stay away from such “former cop gf’s” at all costs because you will never win against a man who has a gun and knows where to hide.

Is that what you would do? If, for whatever reason, you were facing a man with a gun, you'd just take the gun away from him?

opponent armed makes no difference...if the cop is wrong u gotta stand ur ground ..death included...better die fighting than live on your knees

Could be. Usually they're rather "tight". I mean the uniforms, not their bodies.

I thought it was the Canadian Mounties who said, we get our man.

 

To pursue the guy and shoot him out of uniform.!!

Why was he still carrying a firearm?

 

If he is out of uniform would this not be a Thai civilian shooting a tourist.?

As it is the Ps will be heading for their bunker 

Don't think Thai ladies go for Chinese boyfriend.

They are not exactly well known for tipping, let alone funding a Thai girlfriend and her expensive tastes.

Maybe the pee in a cup scam on the public streets was reintroduced ? and this guy wasn’t going to do it?

i just speculating here.

I wouldn't pee in a cup for any policeman, I would just refuse to do it without being rude. although it doesn't mean anything, there are rules about this absurd carry on.

As calm as you like. He clearly has done this before and not just once as in his previous use of a fire arm. This guy is a hit man in his spare time. Disgusting.

[Neeranam]

Anyone living here long time will know what will happen to the cop.

 

Kanjanaburi cop, after being spat at, etc

 

It's hierarchical system, remember Duangchalerm, who became a cop, lol.

[Tom59]

The most worrying thing about this is that an armed person could not only enter the building but also shoot someone dead. It's supposed to be a secure place. It doesn't matter that the killer was a cop. Building security all ran away I guess.

[Orton Rd]

Not sure if it was his GF giving him CPR on the fb video ( while 2 men look on) but well done for trying so hard whoever it was, Life in prison without parole is the only just result here, but we all know how justice works in Thailand.

The murderer was not in uniform, one can only presume the weapon was concealed. Thoughts go out to the victim’s family overseas

Is he out on bail yet? even convicted killers have gotten it when an appeal goes in- then have vanished

Bangkok cop surrenders after French tourist shot dead

By The Nation

 

 

 

A Bangkok police sergeant has turned himself in after allegedly shooting dead a French tourist on Wednesday morning following a pub fight.

 

Pol Senior Sgt Maj Kantapong Huadsri, assigned to the Lumpini Police station, surrendered soon after the incident.

His fellow officers had already been summoned to the ground floor of the Trendy Building, where the Frenchman, Malik Djamel, 35, lay dead in front of a doughnut shop with a bullet wound to the head.

 

His Thai girlfriend, identified only as Kwanjira, told police that Djamel had quarrelled with a Thai man at the Lucky Shot bar on Sukhumvit Soi 11/1. The two men began fighting, but the Thai retreated.

 

Kwanjira said she and Djamel were returning to their room on the eighth floor of the Trendy Building when the Thai reappeared and shot her boyfriend dead.

 

The murder was caught on a security camera and the gunman was allegedly identified as Kantapong.

 

Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt Gen Surachate Hakpal instructed investigators at the Lumpini station to handle the case in strict accordance with the law and not try to assist their colleague.

"two men began fighting, but the Thai retreated". What else do you expect, a Thai

to fight one on one?

I know what you mean, but any farang with even the most basic skills of observation would not for even 1 second expect ANYTHING in Thailand to be secure. The security, like everything else here, is purely for show.
