Jonathan Fairfield Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Police deploy 'superheroes' to intimidate criminals (PHOTOS) By Coconuts Bangkok BANGKOK:-- With great power, comes great responsibility. The authorities of Nakhon Sawan province have stepped up measures to fight street criminals by deploying a troop of "superheros." The Facebook page of Tak Fah police department yesterday posted photos of their new superhero troop as the team and police commander discussed the mission to fight criminals during Loy Krathong festival. "The villains are daring and do not succumb to law, so we have stepped up measures and deployed a team of superheroes to plan the ultimate mission to restore peace to Tak Fah district," the caption read.

jaywalker Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That's a mighty scrawny Hulk, and how did Darth Vader & a storm trooper get to be super heroes? Weren't they the bad guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That's a mighty scrawny Hulk, and how did Darth Vader & a storm trooper get to be super heroes? Weren't they the bad guys? And quite a chubby Spiderman...I can't see him swing between buildings unless he triples the thickness of his web. I wonder if they'll get in trouble; Being Captain America is not being Thai.

sharecropper Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I wonder if they got clearance for the rights to use these trademarked images first? If not the next headline could be "Unruly, Armed Mob in Thailand Mocks International Intellectual Property Laws." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So, if I was a criminal, during Loy Kratong I'd hire a superhero suit and effectively be impersonating a policeman without the illegal aspect of "impersonating a police officer", free to do what I want. Great disguise, too, never get identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a lot of guys here don't. dude they are Police infringing copyright maybe a little irony there? also, hehe, one of their Super Heroes (and his Stormtrooper buddie) are from the Dark Side so one might assume they can't even get this right? I'm sure the criminal gangs will be quaking in their boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpkt8 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Having Darth Vader in their team implies they are not perfect Super heroes. So don't expect them to be totally righteous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
