Fifty police officers were mobilized from three Chiang Mai police stations after two injured men arrived at Klaimor Hospital on the Chiang Mai to Hang Dong Road.

 

Relatives of two men had shown up at the hospital after a violent fight had erupted at a house in Hang Dong. 

 

Thai Rath billed it as a fight between an ex-husband and the new man of a woman named only as Daeng.

 

Staff at the ER fearing trouble called for help and officers from Muang, Bhubing Rajanives and Mae Ping constabularies arrived.

 

The relatives complied with requests to clear the area expressing surprise at the large numbers of police. They claimed they were just visiting their relatives. 

 

The trouble earlier had been at a house in Ban Nam Rin when Daeng arrived with her new man at her ex's place to ask for the return of an amulet that was denied.

 

One of the men suffered a stab wound to the ribs while another was bashed unconscious in the head. 

 

Hang Dong police are going to sort out the mess.

Did they bring their special equipment (big sticks)? 

 

This special equipment can be used on troublesome foreigners and trouble between Thai's, "ex and new" husband's.

Thinking there is some BIG angry here.

It will only get worse internally, but we will never hear of it.

Good place to avoid.

50 police at one place , never seen that many in one place

in Chiang Mai , then where do they go when it's all over ,and

you rarely see one .

regards worgeordie

[chuang]

50 policeman for a domestic altercation...

[ozz1]

And not one plastic bag in sight

[Sydebolle]

Praise the Lord, nasty "Daeng" was it again. Good luck that the only female east of Suez called Daeng is clearly identified and FIFTY officers were dispatched to avoid a major revolution between Myanmar and Vietnam which would have rocked Southeast Asia to the nines .......

Are you bloody serious with such stuff, honestly?

I'll bet that the demand for bottled oxygen soared after 50 RTP muppets sucked the life out of the place.

Exactly.  As an ex-member myself, I recall at times receiving calls over the radio that ended up being an overkill of police resources for one job - always the case because of confusion, exaggeration, or misinformation received from the callers.  I am guessing in this instance that if relatives attended, perhaps there were reports of several people and becoming very aggressive, perhaps fears of weapons involved and retaliations.  As well as being in a sensitive place like a hospital, placing others potentially at risk (patients, staff).  Some calls can be frantic, panicked and unintelligible. 

Once the dust settles, police would have most likely been swiftly reduced in numbers to only those needing to remain for the investigation and others redeployed elsewhere.  Well ... that is what normally happens.  And as usual, someone with a camera will take an opportunistic shot of all the police there and make assumptions and call police idiots.  Been there done that.  Not sure as well if all the police from different zones are using the same radio frequencies, how their radio centres are managed etc.
