I would have a guess that he is Chinese and believes he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions for his actions which is a very Kevin and typical attitude  

Told to go home and grow up some more.

He should have skated away into the sunset

Just another high quality tourist from China.

Obviously you don't know much about the skateboard industry. All of the professionals and semi professionals are adults, and plenty of adults still skate. That skateboard the guy is holding however is more of a cruiser board simply meant for riding around, and looks rather 'gimmicky'

100% judging by the sound of him.... all the better for Sino-Thai relations???????? ????... or he is so utterly restricted back home that the sight of enforcement which he expects to escape from brings out the worst!

I think the man is angry because he was getting ready for a weekend at Bernie's.  The policeman insulted his outfit and hit his tiger skateboard with a baton.

[Ironmike]

Ah yes another Chinese doing the wrong thing I think they should have tazzered him with 50,000 volts and fried his dim sums

Very good exercise, and who's against exercise but those that don't do it? Adults play badminton, a game usually thought of as a child's game.

I have never thought of badminton as a child's game.

1. Good to see other 2 officers “helping”

2. 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

Perhaps he should've been. What if the 1st officer took a sudden hit to the head or anywhere for that matter?

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

It’s all speculation, it’s a forum and it’s a stupid TikTok video. Who cares? Why not join in the fun instead of gate-keeping every thread? 

[Gknrd]

In the US you would of been lucky to be alive if you did this.

"Why not join in the fun..."
Because fatuous speculation is not most people's idea of fun and this is the News Forum not the Stupid Tik Tok Speculation Forum

I think he's Korean. He is speaking Korean in the video.

I reckon you are right, if he was Chinese he would have been taking a dump on the floor of the waiting room.

Yes, eventually.

But it might be that he makes initially a lot of squeaking noise. 

But then again, that would be a great video for TikTok.

You're only racist if you cast aspersions and assign negative connotations generally and randomly toward isolated individuals of an ethnic group, because they belong to that group. Just because you've had bad experiences in China does not in and of itself justify malignant racism. then you've added another problem on top of the original one. I've seen racism against Blacks in the US rationalized similarly all of my 66 years, and it's ugly. Meanwhile I've run into more misbehaving British louts and blighters lately than any other group, with various other ethnicities also guilty, and very few Chinese by comparison. Granted, that's because of Covid, but fact nonetheless, and I'm not going to tar and feather any group because of it.

I say, steady on old chap, we're not all blighters.????

[thailand49]

The guy was speaking mandarin where from HK,  China mainland, Taiwan. Nevertheless this was staged by the airport police chief so he can get approval of his request for stun guns????

in the US the skateboard jerk would have been 6 ft under with compliments of the trigger-happy highway patrol cops.

 

When abroad it's really always surprising how some foreigners/farangs get a sudden sense of entitlement juste because they feel rich due to the exchange rate...

[Regyai]

I heard the cop only wanted an autograph and asked him which Ninja Turtle he was.

[riclag]

Glad it wasn’t another falang incident!

 

[WorriedNoodle]

LOL. Comments like 'shoot the idiot' are acceptable but discussing the way the news is written gets blocked ????

[DavisH]

Probably got an Elite visa and got confused, as they said he could sail through customs...he thought they said skate through customs. ????

That's nothing in the UK we would have oiled his wheels varnished the board and cleaned his sunglasses before allowing him to plow through the terminal.
