RIP While I commend the police in Thailand for their stand-off stance against substance abusers instead of the USA "shoot first ask questions later" approach, they should use more caution when dealing with people who are seemingly out of control. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you've never spent any time in the US to make such a statement. I was there 62 years, and rarely saw a policeman pull out his weapon unless threatened with a weapon. Sold guns for years also, talked with thousands of policemen, hunters and regular citizens. If you count the actual police calls made and see, most keep their weapons holstered. Of course, some police are plain power hungry and unstable, just like everywhere, and they give the rest a bad name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shotgun blast to the head would rectify any drug crazed behavior….no need to re-enact as no crime was committed the problem has been neutralized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Time for the police to review their procedures in such cases. Would a taser have helped subdue someone in a drug fuelled (I presume Yaba) frenzy? RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
