..a tourist was inadvertently hit?

 

????????

You can't swing a cat these days. ????

 

 

A tourist...Thai or Malay perhaps, not a Farang then?

 

Zero testing on mental capacity here to be a cop etc. Never ends

Got to be looking at 6 months community service................... minimum

Thailand, land of smiles, needs weapons-free zones? Great country. I can't think of any western country where they have such things. It's just a given that people don't carry weapons, especially to the pub.

 

TAT could advertise it - Come to the land where weapons-free zones ensure your safety when you pop out for a beer. Except when they don't.

Another day, another embarrassment for the RTP. There just aren't enough pretties in the Land of Plod to counteract the RTP criminals.

The pub is within a weapons-free zone 

 

Laughable - except to the dead guy

Not just an ordinary cop, a highly trained SWAT member.. one who should show restraint under pressure.

Not go off like a bomb when full of Dutch courage.
