That old chestnut !

No honor among thieves

By chance did any of them do some internship program in LOS?

The gun is a Russian Makarov 9mm.

Don't Thai policemen do it all the time..? Pretend to be policemen !

They do that all the time here but they really are employed as policemen.

errrr. nice to know

Robbing drug dealers you say? Hmmm. 'Can't think of a more deserving class of victim! As long as the drugs & weapons are faithfully turned over, and they confine their activities to the drug dealing scum of course, maybe they should consider quietly splitting the cash with these guys and just sort of let the police-impersonation charges get lost in somebody's inbox...

In some countries real police will steal your cash, well as we all know only drug dealers use cash.

They were clearly doing a better job than the police and should have been left to get on with it.
