rooster59 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Video: "Swaggering" cop with a machine gun - speculation rife after apparent road rage incident Image: Daily News Thais were speculating in large numbers after a video was posted on Facebook in Chiang Mai. The video showed part of an argument between a man driving an Isuzu, thought to be the partner of the poster, and a man outside who claimed to be a policeman. It happened on the railway line road. The close cropped man had a police t-shirt and what appeared to be a high powered gun slung over his shoulder. Sanook reckoned it was a toy. After the argument the so called policeman got back in a Honda and drove off. Netizens wanted an investigation to find out who this strutting and swaggering person was. Later RTP spokesman Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen admitted that the man is a policeman in the Saraphi area. The provincial police chief called for an investigation into his behavior. National RTP chief Gen Chakthip Chaijinda has also reportedly showed an interest in the case promising justice for both sides, reported Daily News in a subsequent report.

petedk Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Shouldn't be too difficult to follow up. They have his registration number. Maybe it's all rehearsed and staged and he was paid to do the video. The gun "was only attached to his hip".

VocalNeal Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) The guy is just a policeman. Muppets are all upset by is equipment. It is just dangling by his side. Next topic will be about RTP not doing their job and challenging errant road users. Edited April 25, 2020 by VocalNeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Saw a cop in Robison yesterday carrying an automatic rifle and shopping basket, the way he carried the weapon slung over his shoulder it could have easily be removed from behind. Infact same as in this shot.(pic) above. Edited April 25, 2020 by monkfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine justice for both sides can mean justice metered out on the policeman for abuse of power and justice for the victim - however, knowing Thailand the victim will probably face prison for defamation of an officer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but not a machine gun together with jeans short and no bullet proof vest. It was just an observation, I might be wrong. My bet is on another one gone out of the reservation.
