Thai police get it all wrong: Foreign tourist forced to the ground during Bangkok protest

[VocalNeal]

If one is a tourist then why fo anywhere near protests/political gatherings. I lived in BKK and stayed away from everything by choice, as did all my mates. 

If you are in the wrong place at the wrong times, poo happens.

I would rather them make a mistake and potentially save lives by being proactive ! 

 

A mistake?!

 

I assumed the exact opposite. Controlling the narrative, controlling what the outside world knows, is critical. They can always drag out the ... 'it was a misunderstanding' .. after the fact. They are just doing their job.

Probably not the best time to be out buying ping pong supplies.

I'm not sure lives were at risk at a peaceful student protest against corrupt officialdom.

Really?? Not where the student protesters are concerned anyway. These students are Thailands future, and the best people to

hold protests against the unelected "PM" and his crew. This coved19 has sure done them a big favour.
