Artisi Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hahaha how funny. The reds are calling the protestors armed drug addicts and here we have an armed policeman with drugs on him. Think it's the kettle / pot scenario, the comparison would be better comparing armed red supporters and armed policemen - either drug addicted or not -- same same.

haroldc Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) He certainly couldn't have been sent to there by the government to plant the gun and the drugs. After all, according to the government, the protestors already have guns and drugs! (I hope this is taken as the sarcastic comment I meant it to be.)

Popular Post rametindallas Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 Another news outlet reported that it was only after he threatened to pull his gun on protesters did rally security arrest and search him. They took him, his 9 mm pistol, and one gram of ya ice (which the officer said he got from a friend) to the police station where he failed a urine test. Obviously, any statements by those in charge of the police that their officers are not carrying real bullets neglects to take into account that police here are a law unto themselves and do not always follow orders. This incident cannot be connected to or said to represent government policy but does illustrate that is is impossible for the police or politicians to make claims about whether or not their officers are doing this or that as the officers do what they want to do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Policeman Arrested For Bringing Gun, Drugs To ProtestsBy Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK: -- A policeman has been arrested after he attempted to carry a handgun and crystal meth into anti-government protests at Ratchadamnoen Avenue last night.The police officer, identified as Pol.Sgt. Pattara Petch-arwuth, was stopped and searched by protest guards at the entrance to the protest site near Kok Wua intersection at around 23.30 last night, said Pol.Maj.Gen. Adul Narongsak, deputy commander of the Bangkok Metropolitan Police.According to Pol.Maj.Gen. Adul, the protest guards found a 9 mm. handgun, 10 bullets, and one small packet of crystal meth on the policeman. The protesters then reportedly escorted Pol.Sgt. Pattara to a nearby police station, where he was officially arrested.Pol.Sgt. Pattara has been charged with possession of narcotics, bringing firearm and ammunition into residential area without reasonable cause, and violating the Internal Security Act.It is not immediately clear whether Pol.Sgt. Pattara was wearing his uniform or operating a police duty when he entered the protest site, but Pol.Maj.Gen. Adul suggested that the policeman belongs to Public Affairs Division of the Royal Thai Police.Pol.Maj.Gen. Adul also told reporters that the police are discussing possible plans to contain the major demonstrations planned by the protesters on 13 January, in which the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD) has vowed to "shutdown" Bangkok.The public should not join the demonstrations or rallies organised by PCAD, since third-hand individuals could infiltrate the protests and cause violent situations or persuade the protesters to commit illegal acts, Pol.Maj.Gen. Adul warned.Source: http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNE9URTNNek0yTnc9PQ== -- Khaosod English 2014-01-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ramrod711 Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 It wold be a shock if he was fired. Some police officers have been known to shoot a fellow officer in the face at point blank range, escape the country for a decent length of time, say, long enough for witnesses to change their minds, then return to a firearm instructors position. Of course such an officer may have special influence in a PTP government. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy77 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A Thai Police Officer being fired actually means stood down for a month. Nothing translates exactly here but what they meant was stood down I am sure and that will be the excuse given when he is back doing what he does best soon. A little unlucky though. Even the Blackshirts didn't get fired for murder when they shot the protesters. Guess they figure drugs are worse that someones life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 There was a report from a senior cop some time back of the police setting up a special unit of 140 officers, from memory, to gather evidence against the protesters. It was said that some of them would be disguised as protesters and infiltrate the protest sites. I remember this because I posted at the time that I wondered how they would disguise themselves. Could this be one of those who were chosen to infiltrate ? If so what was he planning to do with the gun and drugs ? it has already been said by CAPO that the protesters have guns and drugs. Could it be that they have to try and arrange proof ? Or was he just a particularly stupid cop doing drugs and carrying a gun around ? Whatever, he has committed the only crime of getting caught. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat for 2 days at a resort with some Thai friends smoking that <deleted>. After a while I asked them where it was coming from, as one of them kept popping out and a few minutes later he was back with another bag. They said police. A couple of rooms down there was a policeman from Samui on holiday, and also selling the stuff. Somehow, I don't think he's the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Thai police are going to sit back and let other criminals make all that money?? :-) A while back some policeman was caught transporting I think a million yaba pills ?? However in the case of this moron, looks like he was just a user. Wonder if he was asked who he bought the drugs from.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
