Depends which "bad guys" you're "keeping Thailand safe" from...

[bdenner]

Well, at least that is a more practical purchase than submarines!

[RandiRona]

[Gandtee]

I'm impressed to see that the Police are on the ball with  latest crime busting necessities, like shock absorbers.????

Will what a joke that is

[RichardColeman]

I always thought you would want your S.W.A.T. team in some kind of incongruous van or car, not with great big S.W.A.T written on the side of it

[JoePai]

What a stupid waste of money - 4 x 4 Ford pickup would do everything they need

Went through their check point yesterday, and look impressive. 
 

It is sending a message to the people, we are here and we watching you! Everyone who travelled spain in the 7O’ies and early 80’ies, remember Guardia civil right? They where Feared and they where protected, and could do pretty much what they wanted. 

[Tropicalevo]

Little boys and their toys.

[2long]

Will these be used by immigration like the BMW thing to close in on unsuspecting overstayers, who cause no trouble in rural Thailand?

[ezzra]

Good to see that this tin can has advertising stickers on it by the  Y.S.S suspension (THAILAND) Company Limited...should have gone with Pepsi or McDonald they pay better...

Especially when dealing with unarmed student rabble trying to disrupt the democratically elected progressive government.????

SWAT officers don’t use guns or batons - apparently will subdue criminals with shock absorbers.

Possibly get some second hand Toyotas complete with anti-aircraft guns from ISIS

[fondue zoo]

What's with all the protective bars... it's not like they will go  "off-road"

Greater ability to fracture hips of protestors without damaging the paintwork

[ChipButty]

They could have done with them the other week in Rawai, they had to ride on the back of pickup trucks

Meaning of SWAT

 

Sitting and Watching All the Traffic

Simple Waste of Action and Time

Seniors With A Touch

Stunts, Wheelies, and Aerial Tactics

Students Working As a Team

[sammieuk1]

Go get them bad guys known as MP's ????

[Henk Langeweg]

With a safe like letterbox inside for the brown envelopes.

[mtls2005]

Not to be confused with the Black Tigers, within the Special Services Division.

 

 

 

The Crime Suppression Division (CSD) of the Royal Thai Police has set up a new SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) unit to replace its predecessor, the police commando unit, which was moved under the Ratchawallop Royal Guards Command.

 

The new SWAT unit, officially named the Hanuman unit, after the monkey god Hanuman, the faithful knight and servant of god Rama in the Indian epic Ramayana, is currently staffed by 40 officers under the command of Pol Col Wichak Darom, superintendent of the support unit of the CSD.

[TooMuchTime]

Weak sauce.  Was expecting some higher tier vehicles.  Do better Thailand.

[herfiehandbag]

Oh look - a self propelled dressing up box!

[spidermike007]

Just more expensive and useless toys for the boys. The only thing these things will ever be used for, is to oppress unarmed youth, who are protesting a toxic regime, that is moving the nation backwards, and rejecting the concept of progress, as if their lives depended upon it.
