JetsetBkk Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Shooting out his tires is a reckless, dangerous practice banned by most countries unless driver/rider represents a clear danger to others or had already engaged in violent behavior. sped through a police checkpoint - Check! injured one officer in the process - Check! rammed a police car - Check! a clear danger to others - Check! engaged in violent behaviour - Check! What's the problem? Bullets missing taxi and hitting bystanders - check. Bullets ricocheting off car or road and hitting bystanders. - check. Taxi crashing and hitting bystanders - check. Its not as if, with one wheel out already he was going very far or fast was it? Bullets missing taxi and hitting bystanders - Didn't happen, check. Bullets ricocheting off car or road and hitting bystanders - Didn't happen, - check. Taxi crashing and hitting bystanders - Didn't happen, - check. I haven't read exactly where the wheel came off - before or after being deflated by bullets. I'd love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackanapes Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 turned cowboys I thought they were shooting his tire could have caused an accident I wonder if they took that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoybeing Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Wow, I love them.. In America the cops would just shoot the driver and he would be riddled with holes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featography Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 With the Thai Polices shooting skills, he was extremely lucky not to get killed!! They were probably aiming for his head, but hit the tires by a mistake................. Whats scarier is how much collateral damage was there, and will they admit to it?

ableguy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just thinking . . . what if YOU were driving on the other side of this taxi when these expert marksmen opened fire on the cab, missed, then hit YOU in the head? You REALLY think this was the RIGHT way to handle this situation?!? After a long court fight you would be given 100'000 baht ( the family that is ). Compensation.
