Popular Post Crossy Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 At this rate we foreigners are going to be lynched on sight!! TWO motorcycle-riding foreign men refused to stop when hailed to do so by a Phuket traffic policeman instead zoomed ahead and upon finally being caught assaulted the officer, locking him in a chokehold, with a shot being fired from his pistol as they fought over the firearm, Amarin TV said today (Mar. 17). This TV channel’s news team verified that the incident did actually occur at approximately 3.50 p.m. yesterday after E-Sor web page broke the news by sharing a photo with a caption saying, “Here in Phuket… foreigners are bold and badly attack Thai police. Photo owner: Thapapong Trs.” This led to a large number of Thai netizens criticising their behaviour. https://thainewsroom.com/2024/03/17/foreigners-assault-phuket-policeman-after-being-chased-over-traffic-violation/ 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post freeworld Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 (edited) What is wrong with the youngsters these days, they seem to be full of rage and anger. Thai cops carry weapons. Surely in this case of directly assaulting a police officer it would be justified to use them. Edited March 17 by freeworld 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NorthernRyland Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 (edited) Another blow to the reputation of Farangdom in Thailand. Unbelievably stupid move by this moron. Note the newscaster says "Farang again" and the word Farang is the video title. Not good at all. Edited March 17 by NorthernRyland 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Martin71 Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Just watched the video... maybe I was hasty in my judgement.. it looks like he MIGHT have been trying to restrain the policeman and remove his firearm to prevent something bad from happening once he takes possession he immediately gives it to his mate to make safe .. and his friends body language does not look threatening or aggressive... All the above might be a load of cobblers.. but I would like to hear what the Kiwis have to say... 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hydraides Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 In Chalong's bustling daylight, two Kiwi tourists did stray, On a scooter's roar, they carelessly made their way. Through Phuket's lively streets, under the sun's harsh glare, Unaware of the chaos they would soon ensnare. But fate, in its twist, brewed a tale of shame, As a Thai officer, pursuing, called out their name. With a scooter's rev, he chased them in haste, To halt their reckless ride, their disregard misplaced. A brawl erupted, in the midst of the day's bright scene, As the tourists resisted, in a manner obscene. They grappled with the officer, in a crude display, In a disgraceful clash, in that public array. Amidst the chaos, they seized the officer's gun, Pointing it mockingly, their foolishness undone. But in their hearts, no sense of honor or right, As they reveled in disrespect, in broad daylight. With arrogance and hubris, they held the gun's sway, Choosing chaos over peace, in their reckless play. Their hearts, devoid of remorse, in the day's harsh light, As they taunted the officer, in their shameful flight. Through Chalong's streets, where shadows cast a pall, Two Kiwi tourists brought disgrace, heedless of all. A tale of arrogance, of disrespect, and disgrace, In the tapestry of time, a blot on their race 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why was he fighting with the police in the first place? In the US they will absolutely shoot you for this so the guy may have known and decided to take the gun once the fight started. At the most the police may have tried to detain him and of course when this happens you comply, not fight back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Martin71 Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Perhaps the copper was drunk or was angry and lost face when the Kiwis did not stop and went for his gun to just shoot him .. and the Kiwi quite scared for his life went to disarm him... I am NOT saying this is what happened, they may just have been a pair of eejits trying to resist arrest.... But I would like to hear the Kiwis version of events.. I do not speak Thai well enough to understand what the newsreaders were saying. But to me the bloke wrestling the copper on the floor to me does not look like he is going all in to bash up the copper and damage him .... Like I say I would like to hear both sides of the story first... And if they are guilty of bashing the copper up then fine... throw the book at them.. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously think the officials aren't paying attention? They already have low tolerance for foreigners so this can only go one way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
