Let's think this out for a minute!

The poles are too long to be carried on a motorcycle.

The best case scenarios are that they are strapped to the roof of a police car or carried about in a designated police "take-down" truck.

One officer and a pole will not suffice.

Two officers will have to be extremely adept at holding their poles, entangling and then somehow subduing the "culprit".

Three to four officers against this "culprit" seems about what it would take.

So what is the advantage of the poles?

Nunchuk training would be far more "smart".

 

I can appreciate the police trying to think "outside of the box"

but this smacks of thinking "inside the bag"

 

Maybe the police will become adept at rodent and reptile management and huge billboards with contact info and snarly looking types will be posted.

 

Great for laughs!

It possibly could be, if the riches weren't concentrated in the hands of the elite, or squandered trying desperately to uphold the utterly toxic national culture.

I'm firmly in the "change is imminent" camp. How imminent, how rapid the change begins, and what form that change takes is open to conjecture.

i think its basically an expensive couple of million baht project - except to pocket more and skim from the top instead of investing in tasers they sent someone to homepro to buy some blue piping. RESULT 9.99 million for me and 1000 baht for the public...

How about a taser?  Oh, too smart.

 

Tasers are one of those new-fangled fads and are useless when the battery dies but these shepherds's staffs are "old skul". 

 

No batteries. No having to remember to plug them into the charger each night. 

 

Just hook an arm or leg and pull.

 

brings new meaning to the police expression of "collaring" the bad guy--just hook it around the neck!

Reminds me of some of the films I saw as a kid, and even Jack Benny etc. on TV.  "Get the hook, get the hook" and the "performer" was pulled off stage. I periodically send some of my retired police friends back in the states the utube's of Thai's finest at work. OMG, the replies I get...lol.
