webfact Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pattaya hotel employee high on Ya Ba shot four times by police after resisting arrest Picture: Daily News Police in Pattaya shot a hotel employee four times in the leg after he refused to stop at a checkpoint in Soi Bongkhot Soi 3. Somchai Bunsri, 30, had been taking Ya Ba (amphetamines) with friends and was on his way to work at a well known Pattaya hotel. He refused to stop fearing having to take a urine test and was cornered in the soi. He produced a knife and went for officers. At first they fired in the air, reported Daily News. But as Somchai advanced Snr Sgt-Maj Somsri Srisawat opened fire. Somchai was hit four times in the leg and treated in hospital. A video on the Ruk Siam News page on Facebook showed him with a patched up right leg talking to the police and reporters. Daily News reported that the suspect was charged with resisting arrest and drugs offences. This was the fifth time he had been arrested on drug related matters.

JimmyTheMook Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Shot him with a BB gun ? 4 - 9mm or even .38 hits to the leg would not look that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMuir Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Good work by the Thai cops. He went at them with a knife. In many “civilized” countries cops are trained to shoot for the torso which usually kills the nutjobs. No need to kill this bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex father in law worked in Germany during Baader-Meinhof years. He said there was a hero German police officer that shot dead a known suspect outside a restaurant. On TV he said he told the suspect to stop and when he didn't he fired a warning shot into his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An habitual yaba user who runs checkpoints and pulls a knife on cops might need to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Shot four times in the leg and still getting around with what appears to be a relatively minor bandage? What did they shoot him with, a bb gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they started shooting the torso was the idiot criminals were suing the cops SUCCESSFULLY even though the criminals were completely in the wrong. Dead criminals can't sue.

Friends, relatives, even the state can pursue wrongful death suits without the dead person being there, except in spirit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, it shows an astonishing lack of training in modern firearms combat technique. Shooting to wound = dead civilians.

It was probably a warning flesh shot to remind him to share his daily drug dealing takings with them. nothing more nothing less. Unfortunately got reported so the corrupt RTP had to come up with a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife, they could have used tasers if they had, less lethal than bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
