gk10002000 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just wondering how some of those local cops live and interact with their neighbors. Sometimes cops are appreciated, sometimes not. Here in the US it is hit or miss as to what neighborhood actually wants a cop living there. Just wondering how the locals feel about local cops, especially when local "crimes" such as this happen. The old saying "never a cop when you need one" also is sometimes turned around and people don't want a cop anywhere around as they feel they get enough oversight, are worried about every tiny little infraction, or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thirteen arrested, a few more escaped out the back, and 18K Baht taken.....Hardly high stakes at probably less then a thousand per head. I appreciate that gambling is illegal here, unless it is called "Government Lottery", but it is hardly major crime syndicate, and goes on every night in every village. As post #3 pointed out, go get some real criminals who are stealing millions......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
