leeneeds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) ^^^ @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.

canuckamuck Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.

klauskunkel Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.

bander Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveat Emptor Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) 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.

blueontour Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well done the police. Obviously they should have contacted some of the security experts commenting on here first.

Transporter Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
