due to dissatisfaction with airline personnel denying his boarding for a return trip to China,

Why was he being disruptive? Drunk ? lock him up till his next flight with a 5 yr ban.

Your joking aren't you ,here in Australia they wouldn't dare , especially if he was of the indigenous culture!!

 

That's why crime is out of hand in Qld ,they ran and locked themselves in the police station if you recall a few months ago in Townsville

Did he try to take a skateboard on board of aircraft as a carry on ? ????????????????

The Police explained it,  No they didn't explain naff all.  

I blame cannabis, and the 2 cops in the background not helping?  Reckon they were stoned too!

He doesn't need to come into contact. The threat and capability of carrying it out is assault. It's a common misunderstanding of the law.
Just so I don't have to get into it beyond this with anyone... here's the definition from Black's Law Dictionary.
"An unlawful attempt or offer. on the part of one man, with force or violence, to inflict a bodily hurt upon another. An attempt or offer to beat another, without touching him; as if one lifts up his cane or his fist in a threatening manner at another ; or strikes at him, but misses him. 3 Bl. Comm. 120; 3 Steph. Comm. 469. Aggravated assault is one committed with the intention of committing some additional crime; or one attended with circumstances of peculiar outrage or atrocity. Simple assault is one committed with no intention to do any other injury. An assault is an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another." thelawdictionary.org/assault/

The post about assaulting the angry tourist denied boarding shows a lack of knowledge of Thai Style and Thai Culture.   The man clearly required help.  Thinking assaulting someone at an elevated agitated and emotional state is a last result. 

 

Your contribution is not welcome or helpful on this topic.

 

This is eastern culture.  Causing the Asian person to lose face or assaulting him at a large airport with international people sends the wrong message to the world.

 

Thank You RTP, you achieved a positive outcome in Thai Style.

I wonder if he would have acted like that at a Chinese airport.

For about one minute.

Then he would have been breaking rocks for the next 20 years

Edited August 12, 20232 yr by hotchilli

The chinese tourist should have been arrested and banned from entering Thailand ever again.

Very well done by the Police,de escalate!

No need to create more violence!

No one really got hurt and the two other officers were just standing by just

in case it got out of hand!

I know some people want to use tasers but why?

So happy we are not in the USA here.

I thought police were trained using nonviolence methods to detain violent suspects:

That's nonsense. They would have done what any sensible police would have done - taken the skateboard off him (which would have been easy) and handcuffed him, afterwhich they could have had their "conversation" in a private room.

Iam living for 23 years in Thailand  but i never have seen like this and its probably because this happened on the airport. Normally this Chinese man should have been arrested interrogated and then blacklisted for at least 1 year. 

Because this is not acceptable to act like he did

This is only my private opinion

Yeah, and what if he would have injured someone. He in fact, assaulted a public official with a deadly weapon.

Next time a taser, baton strike, choke hold and handcuff would show they do not take BS from crazy foreigners here.

Get your hand off it.

it a Chinese tourist ,, cant harm him.  bad publicity in china,, no $$$$$$ comming !!

The Chinese guy was swinging a skateboard around, attempting to strike the police. Should have been charged with attempted assault at the minimum.!

Totally agree, particularly after being kicked off a flight. Should have been arrested.

Thai cops are the best at showing restraint.  Americans know what would happen to that guy, especially if it was the LAPD or the LASD.  He would dead.

I imagine if he wasn’t chinese it would have been different outcome.

That guy would be dead if that was an American airport.

From the video, it doesn't look like restraint to me, looks like poor training and confusion. 

 

Is this guy free to come back? Should be facing a 3-5 year ban at minimum.

Unlikely, he would certainly have been tasered and arrested though!

I agree they showed restraint, but if this gets in Tik Tok there is gonna be someone else that sees it and will try it out?

He is in for a world of hurt on arrival in China for making a spectacle embarrassing to the country. We will not have to worry about him returning any time soon.

Why?  He didn't break any Chinese laws.  Nothing expected from the Chinese authorities, unless Thailand contacts them, but highly unlikely.  If Thailand wanted to prosecute, he'd been in jail now.

 

Any action by China would be embarassing....for China.

The police showed way too much restraint. People like these need to be put in their place, especially when they're attacking police officers. Their colleague could've been seriously injured.

I lost respect for the 3 cops. It was pathetic display of incompetence. They allowed him to keep swinging his scateboard at them when it would have been a piece of cake to take it off him, put him in an armlock and march him out of there. Those cops need to go back to training.

Come on. This is an embarrassment for the police. Absolutely incompetent with hundreds of people watching and taking videos. The other 2 should have grabbed him and cuffed him. 

this is how it should be, serve and protect even for the those who we abviously think deserve it most. 

 

They get my respect, but hopefully he is now escorted out and can not return. How many mental ill people have police hurt and killed in some countries, who could not obey orders?

Korean huh, so much for knowing the difference in asian languages back on those who claimed he was Korean in the news report yesterday 

Not really.  I lived in China for a decade, speak more of a southern dialect of Mandaran.  This fellow is from Shaanxi, where the local version of Mandarin is, how you say, unique.

 

I watched the video yesterday.  The audio was rather poor, and I couldn't make out much of what the man said.  I was guessing it was some version of Cantonese.
