The metropolitan police will remain on the offense in dealing with hard core “Talugas” protesters at Bangkok’s Din Daeng intersection, by preventing them from gathering, said Pol Maj-Gen Jirasant Kaewsang-ek, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, today (Friday), after an officer got shot in the head in a clash on Wednesday.

 

Yesterday, dozens of local police were deployed to the Din Daeng area from 6pm, before the arrival of the young protesters, and they remained there until very late at night. No protesters showed up for the first time in more than two months.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Jirasant said that police have received good cooperation from residents of the Din Daeng apartments, a sizeable community in the area.

those kids are from the local estates.

Officer was shot not during any clash, but while inside a residential block of flats.

That was at 1 am, long after protest ended (curfew starts at 10pm).

It was resident who fired.

That's why yesterday police entered and arrested 18 people

The "truth" in Thailand will only be known when the Thai people are free, and not oppressed by the Bangkok power elite.

Are they even protestors?  They sound like local thugs who just want to get in on the mayhem, destroy things and hurt people.
