not interested in trolls 

Sorry, I am not a troll because you can´t see the difference between an insult and a question.

That group are not the only ones who oppose a certain inmate status, nearly everyone I speak to agree with it,

....and the excesses of the police?

 

Equally wrong if not more so. Excess of the military are while wrong, are understandable because soldiers are not trained for civilian interaction. Police on the other hand are supposed to be able to manage civilians without torturing or killing them. We all know Thailand's police are too often corrupt and unprofessional. Unfortunately, you work with what you have.
