Samui Bodoh Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hmm... One has to suspect that the police do not want to know who done it. "...

One (even) further has to suspect that the police will never want to know who done it. One finally has to suspect that the police have already stopped looking for whoever done it...

I'd assume the police have already been 'told' not to do anything. Usually if there's a chance to get their name in lights, the police will either release a copy of the CCTV or a photo. The last thing they'll do is to answer questions by phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Jag not to the INVESTIGATION but central to the police their fame and public appearance. They would do well to use this line always... not when it suits them like now.

Compromise is good, yes lets call it normal procedure. A shame actually that they do it and now deviate from it. Just shows that there is so much bias. Just stupid only makes things worse.

Here is a little different, they fall over themselves to blab about cases, photos of the accused totally perverting the course of justice. Guilty until the right payments are made. It's a different world, the meaning of justice quite different to the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Mr One' is a very suspicious person...........me thinks he should keep is suspicions to himself. The BIB don't take kindly to suspicious people making suspicious allegations of suspect activity.
