tifino Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 one can never expect to be Promoted beyond their Level of Incompetence. the overly promoted ones then bleat, because they don't want their subordinates to learn, (via the media) how to better use the same methods their bosses used to get ahead of the bunch... ... and the circle goes 'round...

rkidlad Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Very sad. Can you ever imagine the police saying "I stand corrected". Childish, petulant and spoiled behaviour. Nothing will get better if you can't debate and criticise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisakiman Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 C'mon guys, nobody should critisise the RTP. Let's not forget, these are the guys who fearlessly, with no thought for their own safety, went in and cleared up that den of iniquity the shisha bar in Ladprao, in the process confiscating dozens of WMDs known as shisha pipes. Now the good people of Bangkok need no longer live in fear of those degenerates who smoke shisha, and who probably go out after smoking and commit terrible crimes, like catching the bus home or hailing a taxi. I even heard that one of them was so depraved he was seen to take a piss in the park on the way home! The horror! So when we think to critisise the Boys in Brown, we should remember their heroic efforts in Ladprao, and be thankful we have such brave men to protect us from those most villainous of criminals, the shisha smokers and their enablers, the shisha bars.

webfact Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Police chief orders defamation charges to be filed against Sangsit BANGKOK: -- The national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichinda has ordered metropolitan police to file defamation charges against dean of the College of Social Innovations of Rangsit University Associate Professor Sangsit Piriyarangsan and the former deputy commander of Chainat provincial police. In a letter of authorization, Pol Gen Chakthip instructed Pol Col Worawit Yanchinda, acting superintendent of the directorate of Metropolitan Police Bureau, to lodge a formal complaint with Pol Lt-Col Yuk Thongyu, deputy superintendent of investigation of the MPB, accusing Sangsit and Pol Col Virut Sirisawatdibut of defaming the police force in general in a way which may cause the public to hate the police and damage the image of the police. The alleged defamation took place during a panel discussion, titled “What is the Use of the Police?”, on January 26.

Here you advocate that the police should be accountable, yet the PM should not ? One would think that someone so high up the food chain should be accountable. Ask yourself this question if he really meant well for Thailand, why are attitude adjustments needed, why is criticism not allowed ? The answer is, he does not serve the Thai people, he serves an entirely different group of people, and they don't mean well for Thailand at all. Maybe one day you will wake up from your dream and stop ignoring the grim reality of Thailand. The big man is in it to enrich himself and the buddies he serves, people that know Thailand well, know exactly whom his buddies are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 "... A recent case in which massive fraud was suspected to have taken place during entrance examinations led the public to heavily question police integrity..." Seems, this is the response to suggestions of police reform. It is pertinent to point out that an antonym of "reform" is "corruption". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
