One Thai media outlet named the shooter as Senior Sgt-Maj Kantapong Huadsri a squad leader at Lumpini police station.

I hope he's going to like his new posting out in the sticks beyond Nakhon Nowhere.

You should hope he gets life in jail for day light execution of an innocent man

In Thailand bar man, waiters all have guns. You didn't know that? And the question why would they have a gun? To shoot someone who is giving them problem. What else?

Thanks for that I will increase my tips from now on.

The bar that the fight started in is owned by the police, the waiter didn't "have" a gun, it was behind the bar and the waiter handed it to the officer, presumably after being told to.

Oh don’t worry, there will be loads of honest Thais popping up in the news over the next several weeks. 

How many honest taxi drivers returning money to neutralise a murder story?

No news here. Cops are armed and dangerous. They will KILL you.  What part of KILL don't you understand?

[crickets]

just wait for the trusty family mart worker who saw it all and it becomes a self.defense case

The waiter is an accessory to murder, simple.

Wonder if that point will be 'mislaid'

Wife was just watching this story on the news and apparently the policeman and the victim were drinking buddies for the last year. Victims GF wanted to end it as the victum was being unfaithful.

Not really. Just look at the many examples where the RTP are assaulted and/or threatened by some nutter, Thai or foreigner, and go out of their way not to use force, their guns, or violence in the arrest.

 

Been several examples on TVF where many posters have said good job it wasn't in the US where cops are less restrained.

 

This man happened to be an off duty police officer but the fight and murder were the apparent result of a love triangle involving a woman. I'd suggest women playing home and away are far more dangerous than the police!

[The Theory]

“It has also been stated that the cop had a violation for a weapons offence against his name six years ago but was still a cop.” 

 

 

And he he will be one again.

No! He is as good as a free man. He has spent six years waiting for previous charges to come to court and nothing has happened. He will be posted bail on the new charges. By the time that comes to trial he will be close to the grave.

Words to the wise, if you don't fear or respect the man, fera and respect the gun he's wearing and you'll live longer...

How many times do you need to hear it, the guy wasn't "wearing" it nor did he have it on person

Love it when the TVF experts argue

He didnt act the way he did as a cop , he wasnt working at the time .

Why worried? Are you in octangles as well? Triangles are easy: if you do show up, make sure your armoury is bigger and better than your opponents'

The report says the waiter had the gun not the policeman.what was he doing with a gun in the bar in the first place.then hand the gun to him.this is going to get difficult now to sort 

The story I read was the waiter was holding the policeman's gun behind the bar, while he was drinking. After he lost the fight he retrieved his gun from the waiter and then shot Frenchie.

nothign troll-y about my post. guess you can't talk about the pattern of behavior that is really clearly depicted here, the "love triangle". Again, had she been loyal, he would still be alive. Just saying.

Didn't say he was working, I said the bastards will KILL you, with or WITHOUT a reason. They are hired killers. It's what they do for a living. Law enforcement is secondary.

yeah! maybe even after 6 years...was he still serving as an unarmed (disarmed) officer?

 

and... why would a waiter have a gun??

 

 

pistoff and pistol is together a dangerous combo

Everyone has guns !!!

[dcnx]

So you’re telling me a Thai male lost a fist fight, grabbed a gun, then shot the other guy dead?

 

I don’t believe it for a second. This is probably a smear campaign against Thailand. 

 

And for the record, it’s perfectly normal to loan your gun to an enraged person so that he can go and murder someone with it. That part is totally believable.

If he didnt have a gun how did he shoot him.... with his fingers?

well done the cop , the french guy probably insulted him and the cop did not want to lose face and shot him , i have seen a case like this about 4 years ago where a farlang spit in a cops face because he kissed his girlfriend after the girl had invited him to kiss her so the cop ran after the male farland and shot him and killed him as he had lost face bythe farlang spitting in his face

Only in LoS. Presumably he will now no longer be a cop? Or perhaps that's presuming too much.
