maoro2013 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 These are serious charges, any civilian would be under arrest to await court proceedings. I also wonder if this will eventually resolve by creating another member of the inactive post brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm guessing "temporarily dismissed" means he's be on dismissed status until for some reason in the future, the criminal charges are dropped or he's found guilty of some minor charge instead of the one's he's currently facing. Then it's back to duty as normal. This guy was just protecting and serving, after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuibeachcomber Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Cant trust the cops to just go out and enjoy themselves without flashing their toys. Can we do a roundup for the Samui police union so we can give them their very own camp beer(police only patrons)...call it camp tea cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I used to do solo day trips in my Jeep down the coast from Tijuana to Ensenada, cut East through the mountains and wine country, then re-enter the US via the small, quiet Tecate border station. Decided to stay the night once at the golf country club resort on the outskirts of Tecate, and drove into town that evening. Not much going on so I wandered into a small local, leaned on the bar supping a cold Tecate beer when in walks a sharp looking dude dressed in western/cowboy style clothing, expensive Stetson hat, big pistol holstered on his trouser belt. Figured him for a Federale, and he had a couple rough looking guys and a beautiful female with him. I'm not squeamish about firearms, I own several (in the US) but in a bar, over the border, at night..... yeah, definitely caught my attention. They started in on a bottle and beers, doted over by the bar staff, so I had one more and got the hell outta there. Didn't want to be the only gringo in sight when they got into the fire water. Some of the cops here remind me of that kind of macho swagger. Alcohol can certainly bring out the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahibji Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 the crazed police officer completely went off the line and went berserk shooting at so many people, killing two and injuring several others. since this happened in personal capacity rather than course of duty the shooter is certainly responsible for his actions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
