holy cow cm Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Armored vehicles? If only 40 officers, each could have their own to drive under domestic and national security issues. They actually need more officers as they have purchased way more than that from the USA and China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, TVs are becoming more and more extinct in homes. Thai people spend their lives on their smartphones watching and cheating each other .. As for the TV, there are some American movies very badly doubled and especially cut many times for stupid advertising: Anyway; at home, it is almost always extinguished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rkidlad Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 I remember seeing SWAT here driving along the road to what I assume was a bust. The first thing that came into my head as I saw them in all their attire and gear was, "There go some adults in dress-up". Apparently a couple of locals had some weed stored in their house. Absolute overkill. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yellowboat Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 Can they stop raw sewage from flowing to the sea in Pattaya? If not, not impressed at all. Guessing they will head to the southern border. That is where they might be needed. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enoon Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) It's not a new capability for the police.
