candide Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The poor guy is punished for the massive loss of face incurred by the NCPO that blamed it on political opponents.

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Young girls removing paper to play with, poor people picking mushrooms form a national park for food? These are the serious crimes they go after here? Murder, human trafficking.... not a problem if you are connected!!! The regional commander should be fired instantly and let the cop he fired take his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 common sense prevailed, albeit for a short time. Urgent memo to all Government Departments; don't print on pink paper. Problem solved. Now, where is that Red Bull heir or have we misplaced him again; that guy is slippier than an eel coated in vaseline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It shows the mentality of Thailand after the coup. Some rich kid kills a cop, no big deal, but coming down hard on an eight year sound totally ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So much for police discretionary power! The "loud and clear" message to all RTP officers here is, if you fail to file a report for even the most trivial of misdemeanors you will be transferred to an inactive post and placed under disciplinary investigation. Apparently, it would seem Pol. Lt. Gen. Chanasit Wattanarangkul considers subordinates who choose not to further tie-up an already hopeless bureaucracy with trivia are guilty of breaking protocol! The reality is more likely that this strutting rooster was embarrassed to learn about this act of "minor" vandalism from the media instead of an internal RTP report (assuming he even reads them). Just as well the Pattaya bar owner telephoned the police chief (rather than this control-freakin' micro manager) to report the police extortion attempt (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/932543-bar-owner-gets-extorted-by-cop-calls-police-chief-to-intervene/), he really would have laid an egg over that!

The regional commander should be fired instantly and let the cop he fired take his place. Could anyone explain to me why a welfare receiver forgetting to declare a gift of 250 euro from a friend gets a 7-day prison sentence and a lowering of his welfare with 25%, while a big time tax dodger probably owing around 2 million euro in unpaid taxes can not be brought to justice? This is in Europe. Just to illustrate that the rich and influential will nearly always be able to do what they want. Everywhere in the world.

Briggsy Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Best not to take the news at face value here. This was probably just a convenient opportunity to ditch the cop who wasn't chucking enough cash up the chain of command and replace him with somebody more trusted / compliant / corrupt / motivated / related etc......

jaltsc Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) "But regional police commander Chanasit Wattanarangkul thought otherwise and on Tuesday ordered the local police chief removed from his post because he didn’t file urgently report the vandalism." Obviously if one wants to advance in the police ranks, it is a much wiser move to not take any action when the wealthy and entitled rams his Ferrari and kills a police officer, and then drags him 200 meters along the road, than it is to do nothing when an 8 year-old takes a piece of pink paper that no one wanted in the first place.

Brer Fox Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Something seriously wrong about this.. No policeman ever loses his job - they are always transferred to an inactive posting. Regional Police Commander Chanasit should be investigated for breaking with tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well shut TV down as about 93% (figures provided by Mr. P)of all threads can now be reduced to "happens everywhere", "your only Thai bashing", the ever popular "if you don't like it leave" and who could forget "but...but..but, Thaksin".
