Which of those blurred figures in the background is a certain Mr Thaksin, cheering on his team?

[KannikaP]

$5000 divided by nine men, plus support, isn't much each.

[seajae]

really have to wonder when the keystone cops make it into the top ten

Meanwhile red bs boy who killed one of their colleagues, no action at all.

 

All they are good for is accepting bribes, elephant tickets and protecting dictators against those struggling for democracy.

The only one seemingly doing a good job was the father of the Porsche driver.......and the authorities did their best to discredit him before he reached some of the bigger fish.

Had there been the "right" competition categories, I am sure they'd have come out on top without much effort:

 

1. Turning a blind eye

2. Moonlighting as security guard/bouncer/debt collector/hitman

3. Accepting bribes in an inconspicuous manner

4. Fabricating incriminating evidence

5. Buying your way up the ranks

[SomchaiCNX]

Extorsion was not include in the challenge? ????  

[ALLSEEINGEYE]

Is always having criminals escape during the raid one of the challenges?

 

What a farce, RTP are an international joke and an embarrassment and a disgrace to all of Thailand.

So they compete for $5,000. Ok. How much does it cost to send 9 SWAT members plus "admin staff" to the UAE for a few days?
