It going to become the norm now, the police recieving cash incentives for not doing their job adequately or legally in the first instance.

The junta boss PM Prayut has to take some real actions with the RTP very soon. He want to eradicate corruption, but the police evolves their corruption for open scenes and he is just watching them???? How in heavens name can he have any dream about a prosperous future for Thailand and not doing anything????????????????????

So, it's ok for police to get compensation for injuries while doing their job but not ok for those injured by rioters/police/army in Bangkok. Because..................

But didn't the Junta boss start all this a year ago when he gave a cash reward to the police in Koh Tao for their "perfect investigation"?

[Somtamnication]

Ahem....

[Ocicat]

Absolutely not. They'll end up only doing their job if they get rewards for it other than regular pay. The rewards should go to the public who assist in the capture or solving a mystery. What a stupid thing to do!!!!!!!!
