Chang_paarp Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not the sharpest tools in the shed this bunch. They identify themselves then attack a cop. Did they think there would be no retribution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Pattaya, again! Beautiful place, isn´t it? However, I hope they get smacked up real good in jail for assauling a cop. Just something that you not do, and they take care of themselfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become, for me, a wonderful dream of what used to be. Maybe it really was just a dream? Compared to everywhere else it sometimes feels like it was.

sanukjim Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 This is the LOS that I knew back in the 1970s.This bib might have been involved in collecting payment for his higher ups earlier and the perps might have thought that they were immune to certain things knowing this and as it was stated ,their thought process before this was nil.

I feel for you guys and please keep safe I wouldn't say there was anymore violence than before, it only appears that way because everything is filmed with phones or CCTV so it gets more airplay particularly on social media. I have never personally witnessed any violence and continue to think Thailand is one of the safest places in the world to live. In almost all cases of violence where farangs are involved it was they who initiated the confrontations and have usually been drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assaulting a cop? the buffoons in brown are just a bigger gang of thieves nothing more, they bear nothing in common with a Police force they have no guts no loyalty and no honour and are an absolute embarrassment, cannot bring myself to have pity on anybody involved in this none event.... ps ask the red bull bloke about how the Police look after their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 When bar owners start beating up the cops who call round for their monthly brown envelope, I'll believe the revolution has finally begun. I agree with the earlier comment - it's hard to feel sorry for anyone involved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance, at least not by the same red bull heir from a few years ago. That guy is stuffed away in London and they're thinking now of revoking his passport........heroes everywhere.

It's absolutely necessary to make an example of these miscreants. Brutal assault on an officer like this needs a swift & impressive response, or plan on seeing more of it.

The manic Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I an afraid that in every country of the world the police and their war on drugs is disreputable - its is fundamentally corrupting and time wasting and empowers all manner of corruption- political extremism- the arms trade - religious extremism and fundamentalism, mafia etc. It put the police at war with their own people. The human race has been seeking oblivion and transcendence since time immemorial. Prohibition does not work. A new book came out last year by a British undercover cop in which he admits what a corrupting, shameful waste of time his ten years undercover had been. This is not a Thai problem. Its international. Regarding revenge-a few years ago I was in prison in Libya for having a bar. When I was there I met a young man who was inside for beating up the doctor who had administered the blood test that found him positive for hashish. The war on drugs is a war on the people on so many different levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
