webfact Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Video: Pattaya police drugs arrest in broad daylight Video screenshot PATTAYA: -- A video shows the dramatic conclusion to a drugs bust in Pattaya yesterday. Several armed plain clothes officers from the Pattaya station attempt to get two suspects out of their pick-up on the railway road near the Nong Ket Yai intersection. After kicking the windows out they manage to extricate the drug agents from within the vehicle that had earlier had a tire shot out. The drama began earlier when police set up a sting operation after reports that two men called Ghost and York were selling amphetamines to teenagers in Banglamung. Officers pretended to be interesting in buying three grams of "ice" and a meeting was set up. But the sting went wrong as the suspects got wind of the operation and fled in the Isuzu pick-up first towards the station then on routes 7 and 36 before heading back towards the station again. This was when chasing police took the decision to fire at the tires that led to the standoff denouement as shown in the video. The suspects were detained as police look into expanding the inquiry to locate their suppliers.

sharecropper Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It just looks totally unprofessional and dangerous (to innocent bystanders) to me. How can it take so long to break into a car in these circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_lob Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) In a normal country, they would have taken the windows out in seconds with truncheons and hauled them out.

Seeker1953 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I clearly heard gun shots. Are you kidding me? Shooting guns with all those people standing nearby. Reminds me of the drug bust recently where the SWAT team & soldiers opened fire on a suspect and hit his hostage twice. Its really scary how things work here.

justaphase Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 They shot the tyres..why not use the gun on the window? Just looks like loads of resources for little gain. Same everywhere really, just watched police interceptors where they needed 4 cars and a helicopter to arrest a guy for some minor offense. He was fined 100 quid.

Johnniey Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Good job! Two undesirables of the streets. You won't get any credit from the thai hating thai visa members from perfect countries. It would be ironic if they were American adhere the police just shoot unarmed suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMuhummad Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm loving all the arm chair police tacticians.

Chris Cardiff Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 To all the people suggesting shoot the windscreen out, you do realise it's quite hard to reach through a bullet sized hole to open the door. Also there could be innocents inside. They could always wait for them to step out and put their hands up then taser and shoot them as in civilised countries.

This really was an example of poor training, and that should be a concern to everyone because the next time these clowns employ their bush baby tactics, someone could get killed. There was zero discipline, just a bunch of Walking Street thugs playing "look at me, I'm a hero". Appalling police work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have to go against the grain on this one, yes it looks crazy, and unprofessional, however as opposed to the recent US police shootings on blacks, e.g. killings of innocent blacks, shoot first ask questions later. I think no lose of life has worked out well in this instance, 2 alleged drug dealers caught, if they were not drug dealers, why wouldn't they be opening the doors ? Congrates to the cops, and Bruce ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sahibji Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 what were the goons thinking when they refused to come out of their pick up the tyres of which had been disabled. were they thinking that the problem will go away just like that. it only made the job of the police a little more difficult and they did a good job of it, considering the risk they were exposed to as the offenders could have been armed.
