Beep beep

Just the usual behaviour of our glorious police officers.......nothing new here.

What I didn't understand is why did he bother to meet Pol.Col.Thammanoon Munkong-superintendent of Bang Lamung police station- in order to appeal for justice.

What justice is he expecting to get from them?

If you ask me........I've read a lot about police procedures and justice attributed by them in the past.

Well done the Police for offering solid backup in numbers.

Am sure this "punk" deserved being knocked to the ground by the police Jeep driver.

Thaisvisa shouldn't post such news. Such stories harm the good image of Thai Police.

Dudes looking well after a 11:1 beating

What they hit him with? ear buds?

Funny. Was thinking the same thing but the earbuds was a good angle.

The thread will attract every cop hater out of the woodwork and yet this story has obviously been written by someone whose first language is definitely not English.

Could it have happened? Sure.

Could it have happened differently? Sure.

Will any of us know the truth? No.

Do the bruises, or lack thereof, support the story he was assaulted by numerous aggressors? No.

irrelevant or off topic post removed

I am not a cop-hater. I would just like them to do their job of protecting the public from undesirables. This story - from a reputable news source - merely confirms why the the Thai police are held in such low regard around the world but particularly locally.

Really? In that case you will be able to quote a similar example, won't you?

Had my wallet lifted in Guilin and the investigating cop was more interested in filling me in on his 'real' job when I told him I worked in IT than filling out the police report. Seems he just did police work at night to make a few bucks - when i asked him about the theft he just shrugged and said 'Terrorists'. Crackerjack police work, that

What's Guilin in China got to do with Pattaya in Thailand? Crackerjack policing? Was it Friday at 5 o'clock and did you get a pencil?

Most of "MrWorldwide" posts, have nothing to do with Pattaya or Thailland. He will chime in to all negative posts and try to justify the crime.. His classic line is "its the same in Australia"
