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.

This has nothing to do with the USA in any way so not sure what you on about. Just bashing another country for no reason

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.

It was only because he was Chinese they took a submissive approach. ????

Maybe those cops were highly trained Muay Thai fighters and knew they could take that clown down in a second if they wanted.  I've seen bouncers with extensive MMA backgrounds act calmly and level headed with dealing with rowdy obnoxious drunks.

In various European holiday spots they usually beat the s**** out of them, according to the tabloid press.

Three of those with sticks look like they are going for his nuts. ????

And, RTP are very afraid of skateboards. It looks like he just stole hat (tags still on it) and probably the skateboard, brand new, clean wheels etc. The one guy has an ASP, couple of quick whacks to the knees would have disabled him. And, not sure why RTP don't have Tasers, very effective in CQC.

[Drop the dead donkey]

He would have been detained and questioned when he arrived back in China.  
China does not want and will not tolerate their citizens causing national news items in foreign countries. I do suspect the Chinese would have charged him with my experience of the CCP.

I expect he is now banged up and awaiting sentence for disrespecting the CCP abroad.

[bbko]

A group of octogenarians that weren't on scene trying to "back seat drive" how things should have went is a joke. 

[AlexCanada]

Kudos to the Airport Police.  They showed great restraint.  This guy should have been tasered.  

 

"The aircraft captain refused him due to his disruptive behavior."  Captain made the right call.

[George FmplesdaCosteedback]

He's Chinese treat him gently, we don't want to scare them off, they were our biggest customers.

Since he was being obnoxious before and got kicked off his flight did anyone find out why he was so upset?

True, but I hope the idiot is not allowed back into LOS. 

Many of us have seen bad Chinese behaviour at airports, and I have experienced very rude behaviour from them when I drove tour busses in NZ.

Did he?  Did the skateboard ever hit the officer?  

That would make it assault and battery... yes... he assaulted the officer

This is one instance, where I think the police not only behaved properly, but were downright graceful in the way they handled this goon. I do not think the cop was ever in danger, and it appeared that they knew they had the creep under control. Kudos to them. An over reaction, or an American style "police commando response" would have gotten alot of bad press. 

"American Style police commando response".  This type of behavior occurs often at US Airports.  I wonder how "Thai Police Diplomacy" would have worked with this guy"?

No, no, the ones who are claiming that it is the law are the ones on whom the onus is prove it.  How could I prove the existence of a law that doesn't exist?  Laws specify what are offences, not what are not offences.

 

Ok, actually I can, sort of...no section of the entire Thai Criminal Code covers that specific offence but you'll have to read it to see.

Read it, not me, I don't care, but, here is another up close view of what happened, a large skate board being used as a weapon, a cop has his batten out.

How "others" can say the weapon would do nothing, are idiots.....????

The police should have rewarded the Chinese tourist by ferrying him to a local market where he will be outnumbered by some Thai thugs, and he will learn his lesson.

It truly is a phenomenon, the number of immature farang on here that idolize Thai thugs and village justice.........in particular when it's against another foreigner, which seems to be especially gratifying and entertaining.

13 years of over-generalising!

With respect there's only one nation on earth we all default to seeing such an incident - and it's not Korean. I know there are decent Chinese folks - but you gotta admit the cliché is here for us all to see, so I would say there's a lot of ignorance in the majority of that nation.

[BTB1977]

Every anti American has made a point of how it would have gone down in America.  The fact is if they wouldn't have calmed him down like the police first try to do in America.  Very situation is different.  (Some people just don't get that it's in their best interest to obey police commands.) At some point the thai police would have rushed him and used  force to subdue him. To protect the public from an unstable individual.  

[sqwakvfr]

“Agree that police officers shouldn't be assaulted, but you know what - it's part of their job - and they handled this skateboard swinging Chinaman easily without resorting to drastic measures.”

 

In all my years in policing I never felt it was part of my job to get assaulted.  I did get verbally assaulted almost every day.

[bradiston]

I wonder why he was refused boarding?

[bbbbooboo]

hmmmm... in USA he would probably be shot dead ?

[Joe Mama]

The 3 Thai tourist police officers involved in this incident did an amazing job of de-escalating a potential violent situation!  They should be commended for their professional behavior throughout the incident!  Bravo!

It seems the ceeceepee will be punishing the man. ⛷️

Many of these incidents show Thai police know how to properly deal with the deranged

 

In the US this guy would have been body slammed by 6 cops if not tased or shot dead.

You do realize a tazer causes no significant or lasting injury and is lower in the escalation of force methods than the ASP the officer was swinging right?

[JohnnyAloha]

Now, if only the rest of the world could use diplomacy, maybe we could end wars. It all starts at the ground level as demonstrated. No injuries, all parties agreed to the final solution and I'm sure many people's respect of the Thai police went way up. Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha would all be pleased.
