You mean the justice system should just be done away with and extrajudicial processes are OK?

Where did I say that ? think your imagination is on overload.

Police with itchy fingers don't even come close to describe the attitude of the Thai police when the opportunity is there to open fire, let the criminals beware...

Absolutely not, they will rarely fire if not fired upon.

Agree but I wouldn't be surprised if the 'shot' was discharged mm away rather than meters. In any event the right result!

In the report it say the pickup failed to stop and as he was attempting to flee the police opened fire.

Good shot by one of the RTP anyway. Best way for any drug dealer to be dealt with in my opinion

I have another way for them if they catch them. Make them take all the drugs they are carrying and if in the morning they are ok, a cup of coffee on they are free to go.
