UDON THANI:-- In a scene akin to the worst excesses of nightly soap operas police opened fire on a gang of Ya Ba dealers as they tried to escape down a soi in Udon Thani yesterday, reports Thaivisa News.

A video clip shows some of the gang in a Toyota Vios trying to get away from armed officers who shoot at the tyres and front of the vehicle before smashing a side window to get at the drug gang inside.

Eventually after a lot of gunfire and mayhem the gang, their car disabled and smashed, give themselves up.

In a roundup of other members of the gangs distribution network a total of seven people including one woman and one Laos national were rounded up by Udon Police who also found a total of 216 Ya Ba tablets and confiscated money, the Toyota and a Honda Click motorbike.

Earlier a police drugs unit had gone to a house to arrest suspects when they attempted escape in the Vios. They crashed into police and the shooting began. There were no reports of injuries on either side.

Cops doing their jobs??? In Thailand?

Bravo!

No One shot must have been using BLANKS.

Keystone cops at their high point.

Got to love the police smashing the window , and then opens the door ,

and as a third thought pulls his pistol out, no vest?

gun firing all from one side?

one suspects they knew no fire arms were carried small time players

yesterdays train bust and ongoing dealings with this insidious drug, its

dealers, pushers and users very very few have the benifits of the profit,

tunnel vision of a quick profit and dam the consequences,

^^^ @Jesse, Actually, it seems to me that when Thai police get into a shootout, they usually win. I've been impressed by that.

This video however shows just one moment when one guy adapts a good stance and good technique. The rest of it does indeed look uncontrolled and amateurish.

Cheers.

Good to see them doing their job. Now they need a little training in how to appear to be in control rather than screaming and dashing about like they are being attacked by lions.

A huge shootout and nobody got hurt? Teflon Thailand...

With such a raging success i wonder how many selfies were taken ?

They caught the bad guys didnt they? I don't see what the problem is.

Job well done I say

Good.

Beats shooting their new superior for getting a promotion.

all for 216 ya ba pills .....

Exactly...what a huge bust for those cops to be dancing around like its a lazer tag arena..poppin caps...

This was no gun fight

Pathetic.

Now the cops are filming themselves in a counterbid to all the bad video publicity? In any case, they need someone skilled to train for and direct these operations...maybe some of the migrants workers can help out with that.

Professional policing at its finest

RTP are good at shooting unarmed civilians, Remember the crack down in 2004?

Watch the moron in green t-shirt when he open the suspects car door and try to pull the driver out of the car.

Why not turn off the engine with the ignition key and pull it out?

And why all the screaming, shouting and running around like monkeys?

Is this how they learn to arrest drug dealers at the DEA Academy? Not impressed.

Professional policing at its finest

You are kidding, right?

They were lucky not to be in America, my 7 year old boy is better equipped for this kind of comedy

All for 200 and something Yabba pills, while they were busting these guys the big shipment went right by

LOL

Thailand at its finest

But have to make sure those tourists dollars keep coming in LOL

This is a good day to tell my son's the way of the world

Still all in all, Thailand is still a good environment and good country

Anyone who has firearms training knows only too well it's not a good idea to have people running about like headless chickens when using firearms.

A great training film in the ' How Not To ' category.

...several a day it seems....

...are they considered 'employed'.....100% employment.....

...a big statement.....no details.....a big problem......

...with rampant crime and deceit....how can they take anyone at their word when they 'gather statistics'.....

...as for their assets....why seize only 2 cars......that really makes no sense.....

Pathetic, young boys playing BB gun.

It's amazing that more police aren't shot by each other. They run around into each other line of fire.

Professional? I don't think so.

Pretty funny attempt at a get away by the crooks. peddle to the metal just to drive straight into the wall, hehe. If the guy knew how to drive better he probably would have escaped as do so many others.

that video is a example of what not to do for police departments everywhere.

a complete joke.

using your guns to disable a vehicle. firing at a moving vehicle.

pointing or firing guns into tinted windows where you can't see the occupants of the car. could be children inside.

walking up to same car without being able to see inside.

fellow officers and public in the cross fire.

officers standing out in the open next to vehicle with guns drawn.

chaotic communications. yelling and screaming and shooting. no team work. no organization or training.

look at the guy in the green shirt! trying to get into the best position to get shot? hahahaha.

I agree with you but they are still the best money can buy in Thailand.

Well done the police.

Obviously they should have contacted some of the security experts commenting on here first. You'll find them sitting outside 7/11 with a bottle of cheers complaining about ... everything

Now make these scum eat all the Ya Ba they had in one go

all for 216 ya ba pills .....

and those 216 pills comes from the police !!!!

I am so happy I could cry tears of joy seeing these vile scum caught. I congratulate the police wholeheartedly on some excellent police work.

I hope the whole distribution network is brought down.

Ya Ba is the root of many criminal activities and family relationship wrecks.
