rooster59 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Nana blockade! Soi 3 sealed off as 200 police swoop and make arrests Image: Manager BANGKOK:-- Soi 3 in the Nana area of Sukhumvit Road was sealed off late last night as 200 police swooped on the area in a crime suppression drive. News reports stressed that all those stopped and arrested were dark skinned. Only Soi 3 was targeted - those on a night out in Soi 4 on the other side of the main road were not mentioned as part of the check of passports or subjected to urine tests. The raiding party was headed by the top brass of Metropolitan police chief Lt- General Sanit Mahathavorn and head of the tourist cops Surachet Hakpan. Manager reported that out of 30 tourists (dark skinned) checked there were 6 who had no passport and showed positive for drug use with a purple urine test. Sanit said that the swoop and blockade of the area was part of the Met's ongoing efforts to reduce crime. And he especially wanted to root out those individuals using tourist areas as cover for illegal activities such as drugs related crime. Checking passports was a good way to do this he reminded the raiding party as this can reveal criminal histories and people wanted on warrants. He also said that the swoop was in readiness for the ACD summit starting this weekend. The ministerial level 2nd Asia Cooperation Dialogue Summit, a ministerial level conference, is being held in the city from today until Monday.

Cockwomble Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I suppose they could have said all those arrested were "Chocolate Man", so "Dark Skinned" is an improvement on the usual racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of crime in Thailand is committed by Thais. Are you suggesting every Thai is arrested in this stupid manner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I can imagine the reaction in some western countries if this was to happen there, the do gooders, community representatives etc would be up in arms There were protests about the raids in Paris and Brussels immediately after terrorist incidents despite being part of urgent on going investigations.

Good call, I suppose when a black guy is seen running from the scene of a crime, the police should go out and shake down whites & orientals. Negroes are 13% of the US population, they commit 51% of the homicides. Then again, I think you're trolling anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
