They have to do squats because looking at most of those fat officers I doubt 1 of them could do 1 pushup let alone 10, the only thing the RTP is good at doing is pushing up the cost of bribe money on Farangs,, why hell Chalong police station in Phuket the coppers their would need to do a million pushup there so corrupt 

Put your left foot in left foot out in out in out shake it all about .

Oh hokey cokey !!!🙈

Simply stating the obvious.

Thailand is not the hub of police corruption; it has a long way to go to reach those heights.

Do they have any reputation left to lose?

Even though some good cops among them.

Go south for a few months, become a monk for a while, either one of these options will cure him 

After the new police commissioner’s statement yesterday he must be starting to realize that he is fighting a losing battle to clean up the RTP, pull it all down and start from scratch is his only chance of achieving that

Would be nice to see them dancing.

Honestly a press statement would have been appropriate. 

This looks more like Alice's wonderland or DuckTales. 😂

A Thai police officer has been temporarily suspended after allegedly firing a gun

Taking this seriously then...

Only in Thailand 😱

It's embarrassing 😳  

poor turn  out on the next day  due to aches and pains

Another keystone cops moment, they keep on coming...

Somchai!  Get down and give me 10!

Perhaps the Met could do a similar penance for being a cowardly pathetic bunch.

Firing a shot skyward.

At the wrong time(not on the New Year's Day).

Has anyone done a deep dive into his financials? I would doubt he is any cleaner than those sacrificial lambs he will eventually throw to the wolves.

I look forward to seeing the result of his court case and the punishment he receives.

 

I will not be holding my breath for this as these results are rarely published, leading me to suspect that justice is also rarely served.

The policeforce has to enforce laws.. This is schoolish behavior... 10 sit ups and fun.. Comedy capers was before the WO II but here still reality

It got a lot of creaky knees going, I bet half called in sick afterwards.

No officers were injured by flying buttons during this exercise, although some gas was released.

Merry Christmas..

If they accidentally shoot you in the leg will they need to do 10 sit ups and 10 push ups?  I think this group task is because the other officers will give him a lot more grief for having to perform the sit ups when they didn't do anything.

The RTP are a joke 🤣 and don't even know it... they lack the self awareness to even be embarrassed. Given their poor training and tactics it's a wonder they captire anyone without shooting themselves.

 

As stated above the photo reveals that they were not doing sit-ups but squats and not very well by the looks of it.

Too much gai tord in the BIB’s diet methinks! 😂😂

The station there has a reputation.

Reading the charges, nothing about threatening a civilian with a firearm. He pointed the weapon directly at the doorman ( i assume it's a doorman) several times.

Police apologise with 10 sit-ups after cop fires gun outside Bangkok nightclub

All 140 officers at Thong Lo Police Station performed 10 sit-ups today, December 17, as an apology after an officer fired a gun into the sky outside a nightclub on Soi Thong Lo 10 in Bangkok on Saturday, December 14.

 

Police Sergeant Major Montri Meedate brought embarrassment and disgrace to Thong Lo Police Station last Saturday night. He was caught in a viral video engaging in a heated argument with a nightclub security guard, threatening him with a gun, and subsequently firing a shot into the sky outside the venue.

 

Montri’s actions stemmed from anger after being denied entry to the nightclub because he caused a disturbance and displayed unruly behaviour while intoxicated.

 

Montri’s superior, Thong Lo Police Station Superintendent Phansa Amaraphithak came forward to accept responsibility for his subordinate’s misconduct. He reported that Montri is temporarily suspended from government service pending an investigation into his actions.

 

Phansa held an outdoor meeting with the station’s 140 police officers today. He stressed the importance of the proper use of firearms and the responsible consumption of alcohol. Twelve rules regarding firearm usage were printed and distributed to each officer, along with the disadvantages of alcohol consumption.

 

 

As a gesture of apology, Phansa ordered all officers, including himself, to perform 10 sit-ups. Following the exercise, the officers shared a meal to demonstrate their unity and camaraderie.

 

According to a report by DailyNews, Montri was released on bail on the evening of December 16, with bail set at 150,000 baht.

 

Montri is now facing four charges including:

 

• Section 7 of the Act on Firearms, Ammunition, Explosive, Fireworks, and Imitation Firearm: possessing a gun without permission. The punishment will be imprisonment for up to 10 years, a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both.
• Section 8 of the Act on Firearms, Ammunition, Explosive, Fireworks, and Imitation Firearm: carrying a gun in a public place without permission and necessary. The punishment will be imprisonment for up to five years, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both.
• Section 376 of the Criminal Law: firing a gun without a reason in a public place. The penalty is imprisonment of up to 10 days, a fine of up to 5,000 baht, or both.
• Section 392 of the Criminal Law: causing another person to feel fear or shock by threatening. The penalty is imprisonment of up to one month, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both.

He will do a Wai (🙏🏼) then get off free as a bird 🤷🏼‍♂️

Where else in the world would we see cops doing as they call them “sit-ups, in front of a public audience, in which they are not most of them probably couldn’t do 10 sit-ups, aren’t they preforming “squats”

And honestly this is the stuff that makes Thailand interesting and enjoyable 😊

So in the game of life in Thailand, 10 "sit-ups" now beats a wai?  

That's pretty much the silliest thing I've seen to date. Who came up with that?

Initial charges against him include possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, carrying a weapon in a public area without permission, and discharging a firearm in a town or community without just cause.

 

So at least, he was Off Duty...

Happens in the US all the time. But they usually get prosecuted now in our world of phone video

so did he get fired and arrested and charged ?
