Popular Post webfact Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 video screenshot Siam Chon News reported that CCTV from three separate cameras appeared to back up a Chinese man's assertion that he thought police who arrived to serve a search warrant were actually criminals coming to abduct him. The footage was obtained by the Chinese media and is now being commented upon widely among netizens in China. They called the arrival of 11 plain clothes police officers as "here come the baddies". The first scene in the footage - believed to be behind the luxury house at the Phoenix Country Club - shows the police arrive in three vehicles. Most of them immediately start running towards the property. The next frame is of a Chinese man on a phone walking casually by a pool maybe with a mobile phone. On seeing the advancing men he runs back into the house chased by them. He runs to a bedroom and closes the door. When the police arrive - one crouched low by windows - a hail of bullets rings out, shot through the door. The Thai police have said they legitimately wanted to serve a search warrant on Zhang Yang in connection to online gambling. Zhang has said that he thought he was being abducted and would be held to ransom. He denies knowing they were police. Two officers were severely injured by gunshot wounds in the incident in the Huay Yai area of Pattaya last Wednesday afternoon. One officer was in a coma. Commenting on the footage now that it has been widely shared in China, the suspect's lawyer Anirut Khongsap said to the public: "You decide the truth". It was clear he feels his client has a clear defence for his actions. The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue. About seven or eight other people were in the house at the time but they do not feature on the video, notes Thaivisa. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-26 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Fully agree with the Chinese man. Not 1 of them in uniform, running towards the house, that is professional policing? No way just looked like a bunch of thugs. Well done R.T.P. The millions of people here who depend on tourism for their livelihood will thank you, for your brainless stupidity.

The millions of people here who depend on tourism for their livelihood will thank you, for your brainless stupidity. A few years back while living on a Moo Ban estate in Pattaya, there was a commotion outside in the street. I opened the door to see what all the fuss was about ( as you would ), to be greeted with a pistol pointed at my head by a guy in plain cloths only. F##k this was my reaction, " Police " he said, " Drug Bust ' on the House next door, ' Stay inside ". This guy could have been anybody, and if it were not for one of those I.D things on a lanyard round his neck, I would not have known. No Flak Vest with POLICE on it or anything. I suppose they think they are the SAS or something similar to get their egos up, but yes Brainless Stupidity. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuzie57 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Under the current law as of 2020 there is no foreigner who can even apply for a gun no matter who they are. ... Yes under Thai law it states you have to be a Thai National, so if you are able to go thru that lengthy process of becoming a Thai National, yes you can legally purchase a gun.

Popular Post thequietman Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 Approaching the property in civilian clothes - that doesn't sound right! Approaching the property from the rear to deliver a warrant - that doesn't sound right! Chinese man thought they were there to kidnap him - that sounds about right. ???? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were wearing a police or army uniform, maybe I'd hesitate. But those guys running from the vans .......... shoot first, ask questions later.

Popular Post tomacht8 Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 In the past there have often been reports of fake police officers or pomposity. Also, no one knows whether the police officers are on duty in plain clothes or not. Also some plainclothes policemen like to wear their guns in the waistband under their T-shirts, like the gangsters in the Hollywod films. As in this case, it can quickly lead to misunderstandings. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
