Popular Post gerry1011 Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 Good I hope they broadcast the rallies, but he better do it quickly before the CMPO gets dismantled tomorrow. The more this government talks, the less credibility they have. With the wide media coverage, the protesters will have less of a fear of attacks, so more will come out. Thank you 3 times! Speaking about "attacks"... It seems that it is the police that has the most to fear... The good side of all these police casualties, as well as the countless proofs that the yellow protesters are heavily armed, is that the courts will have more and more difficulties to deny that the protests are violent and should be suppressed in the toughest way.

smedly Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The CMPO and their powers under the emergency decree are about to become defunct when the civil court rules it is illegal tomorrow, all current detainees will have to be released and the CMPO disbanded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Very wise from the gov't to broadcast it. And good to see that for the first time Chalerm is doing something useful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scamper Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) In the Truffaut movie Fahrenheit 451, the government - which kept a tight authoritarian control on the people and banned the reading of books - daily broadcast images of arrests on TV of the government's ever vigilante efforts to crack down on resistance. It seems a very sad thing indeed, that Chalerm has to actually approve and allow a television station to cover this - that it actually requires his permission to " allow " the press to do so - let alone opting to personally co-host a television programme of the operation called " Peace for Bangkok Mission ". It is something that Truffaut would doubtless have many things to say. How bad has this become ? This bad. How close to Truffaut's cautionary tale is this ? Far too close for comfort.

bigbamboo Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Will Field Marshall Chalerm (DipSO and Bar) be directing operations from his drinks cabinet thirty miles away like they used to do in the First World War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry1011 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The violence of these yellow criminals is exposed every minute a bit more... A police officer shot in the head... Other police officers wounded by bombs... Bombs and material for their fabrication found at the protest sites... Countless weapons found... Criminals on the run...

BlueSkyCowboy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Is this wise? So far, it sounds like episodes of Police Farce. If true that Yingluck is keeping Chalerm on a leash, then these programmes may be for her benefit. my experience in life tells me that almost anything is for the benefit of the Elite/Rulers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadPhrao123 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) ASTV Channel 4 in Bangkok has constant feed of images, split screens. All in Thai. Hard to separate live action from pictures of action earlier today. Empty threats period looks to be definitely over. Protestors standing down in the face of overwhelming numbers of police and where there's violent resistance to police, the shotguns are out. Arrests of protest leaders, displays of weapons captured by police. Edited February 18, 2014 by LadPhrao123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangarang Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 "The program would live broadcast the center’s operations to vacate government buildings and roads currently occupied by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee."

SamDezeure Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Great... we will be able to see this bloodbath live on TV. Her IQ is really dropping by the minute... and you can see she wants this to end violently... She had the anti democrats against her, and now she has all her supporters ALSO against her... you lost the whole country!!! OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE DAMAGE YOU ARE CREATING... and the friendly protestors have been behaving very well until now... They are not violent, and don't want to use it, but I do think that they will when forced out! no one wants to lose face in Thailand... main reason why they fight to the death... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the mysterious elite 'let' Thaksin run Thailand. Your implication is that Thailand's pseudo democracy is a total farce. Well that's exactly what Suthep is saying and with 3 stooges running CMPO adding even more grist to the mill. Meanwhile the country lurches from crisis to crisis with no proper law enforcement from top to bottom. It's a total mess with no need for conspiracy theories to make it look any worse.

Ricardo Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 "It was to show the public that the CMPO authorities performed their operations in a transparent manner in line with the laws and that they did not use force to crack down on the protesters," (my bold added) So no blow-by-blow commentary then ? The police will all be unarmed, no rubber-bullets or water-cannon or tear-gas, this time at least ? It will be broadcast on live TV what more "transparent" can it get, does not mean their will be no violence, if the protester violently resist the police have a right to self defense, or put an end to the violence, hence, why it will be televised, to let the public can witness the police did not instigate any violence that may arise! Cheers Sunisa said in the OP on behalf of the CMPO that the crackdown wouldn't involve the use of force, despite the weeks of previous threats from her boss Chalerm to do just that, in the event the police were firing tear-gas & rubber-bullets within a few hours, with tragic consequences on both sides. RIP the dead, and hope the injured recover. Sad that it had to end like this, but with Chalerm put in charge, it always seemed likely. He and Yingluck should face charges, in exactly the same way that Suthep & Abhisit do, over the events of 2010. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Yingluck should face charges, in exactly the same way that Suthep & Abhisit do, over the events of 2010. Agreed. But with Tarit involved again and presumably continuing to do Thaksin's bidding at the DSI. it won't happen until the DSI has some independence from the Government. Which one of the 3 CMPO stooges said that the police would be unarmed? More lies. Yes, it is sad that deaths and injuries had to occur but it was pretty obvious that some of the (Students Network?) would arm themselves as the red police were making no effort to either protect them or find out who was continually attacking them and arrest the red group that killed the protest leader at the Bang-na temple.

tezzainoz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I hope the police will be careful. These yellow protesters have a history of being armed and dangerous. While casualties on the police side would further discredit Suthep's criminal actions, it would be sad to have a bloodshed. This morning the police caught more of these armed thugs. What an arsenal ... Very dangerous people indeed. It is a very good idea to allow the public to witness where the violence come from!
