Do you have any idea how hard it is to hit a small moving target with a handgun? Cops are trained to shoot into the abdomen as it's the largest target. Standard practice in a couple of European countries. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was in US he would of been shot 3. if this was in other less violent countries , he would if been tasered om the spot In Australia (especially Queensland) all 3 officers would have shot and killed him saying that they felt their lives were in danger! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the policeman misses and kills a child standing behind him? What kind of mind thinks a policeman can draw his weapon because someone has a skateboard in his hand? If you can't handle this kind of situation, get a job at McDonalds and leave the tough work for those capable. Police in the US , besides the few imbeciles that are power hungry or prejudiced, would have tackled this moron and had him cuffed in seconds. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gandtee Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 52 minutes ago, Zack61 said: I hope he’s not expecting a visa extension. In a more civilised country it’s likely they would have just shot or tasered him. Hats off to the BIB. Hats off? I disagree. The police officers standing around while their fellow officer is being attacked is disgraceful and shameful. He should have been taken down and arrested for attacking a police officer regardless of the reasons for his behaviour. It undermines the authority of the police. I suppose they would have stood around if he had been attacking a fellow traveller. They have made themselves a laughing stock. What was the reason for this idiot going on the rampage? 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unless you were there, that's not what you saw, that's what you bizarrely speculated based on nothing but your imagination.

I can't agree with that! If a policeman asks you to do something, in a foreign country, then you should obey. You can discuss the pro's and con's later, in the court, if necessary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one else's safety was at risk. "He is committing a felony assault with a deadly weapon. They should have tased him". US law and offences do not apply here. Thai police are not issued tasers.
