webfact Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Policeman arrested for assault in police stationKHANATHIT SRIHIRANDEJ,KWANHATHAI MALAKANTHE NATIONBANGKOK: -- THE METROPOLITAN Police Division 8 has launched a disciplinary probe against Pol Lt-Colonel Burin Lalitathada, an inspector at Bang Yi Rua Police Station, for reportedly spraying the investigation room in Bangkok's Khlong Tan Police Station with bullets from an M16 rifle before fleeing. Nobody was killed or injured in the assault.Division commander Pol Maj-General Rassadakorn Yingyong said Burin - who was wanted on charges of illegal possession of a war weapon and ammunition, and firing in public without sound reason - is now temporarily suspended from civil service. He faces disciplinary investigation by the Bang Yi Rua Police Station and criminal code action from the Khlong Tan branch.Meanwhile, Pol Lt-Colonel Singha Wangwongthong, deputy superintendent of Kanchanaburi's Sangkhla Buri Police Station, said Burin had been apprehended near the border with Myanmar. Police also found an M16 rifle, a pistol and some explosives in the suspect's car. Burin was going to be escorted to Bangkok later last night.It was initially believed that Burin did this because he was unhappy about his recent transfer from his post as investigating officer at Khlong Tan station to a desk job at the Bang Yi Rua station, or due to a personal conflict.Police spokesman Pol Maj-General Piya Uthayo said Burin was often absent while serving at the Khlong Tan station and might have been doing drugs.-- The Nation 2013-08-16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) So I guess the lesson here is, do not interfere in another's scam and move people to inactive posts against their will. Arrested for assault what a joke how about conduct endangering life or even attempted murder? Guess he will now get his choice of inactive posts so as not to upset him further.

Exactly, spraying a room with an M16 is a little more serious than assault and I'm presuming the firearm was held illegally. The spokesman called it a war weapon and was discharged without sound reason but he was pissed off, isn't that a sound reason in Thailand ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Halion Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Cultural kaos . Only within the RTP can someone with such character and mental disposition rise through the ranks. Someone this unstable should not be allowed to carry a firearm and furthermore he should be jailed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, I guess that since police positions are bought rather than gained by merit, a few bad apples would be bound to slip in here and there. Also shows the lack of a correlation between actions and consequences that the Thai police seem to display on a regular basis. They seem to actually believe they can do anything they want. Of course this is not good for you if you are in their way..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A television report quoted a colleague as saying he was good man but did have bad temper. As usual the BIB do nothing until it's too late. Thai BIBs are... Thai, first and foremost. TSK, TSK, TSK!!! Farang cannot understand Thainess. From Thai manual of procedures Maintenance 1- wait for something to break or go wrong. 2- repair or replace ONLY after breaks down, if it is strictly necessary. LAW and ORDER 1- Do not interfere with the flow of usual customs, no matter how egregious they are. 2- Act only when a catastrophic situation happens. 3- In case of Rule number 2, always ask for guidance from superiors. 4- Failures should always be blamed on something or somebody. 5- Law and order officers are first and foremost chroniclers of events. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS 1- TRANSGRESSORS WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED FROM THEIR JOBS AND ASSIGNED TO INACTIVE POSTS WITH FULL PAY.
