Actually the story is about a dealer who ran from the cops,"drug addict" wasn't even mentioned.Not sure if you know Steven but many dealers don't use drugs and are in it solely for the money.

obvious troll putting pot in with pharmaceutical drugs, ice, and heroin. Nonsensical to group medicine with pill pushers (legal or otherwise)

I've been in every major Asian country for long periods worked in the private security bodyguard industry.

Thai police are absolute cowboys sorry. Poorly trained and are operating with no care for small time nobody's risking peoples lives..Reforms are a must.

Will those that subscribe to the "Alcohol is a drug so either criminalize if or let me smoke whatever I want" school of perpetual gurning, please open their own thread to debate this.

To be fair to everyone else, you were the one who originally dragged the thread off-topic, with your ridiculous comment.

It should be clear to everyone that the "War on Drugs" is a complete failure, and new tactics are required to help people with addiction and substance abuse problems. Sadly, I'm not surprised to see the assortment of mindless statements condemning all drug abusers with no thought of how they got there or compassion for their state, with some posters even going to the asinine point of saying "Beer good! Drugs bad!". Naively, I find it surprising that such attitudes still exist these days.  

 

As far as this situation goes, the police used exceptionally poor judgement in their actions. I can understand the initial reaction to pursue their suspect, but considering the time of day and level of activity on the streets, they should have quickly backed off. A high-speed chase was putting the public in a dangerous enough situation, but to use their guns to send the vehicle out of control was well beyond any reasonable judgement. Those involved, and especially the lead officer in this situation should be facing immediate dismissal and criminal charges, perhaps going as far as considering manslaughter.

Sounds like these poo-lice officers were trained by that c.nt who shot and killed the child in that lopburi armed robbery

Alleviating any ailments and resorting to a daily fix are not the same thing.  Anybody assisting people to join/remain-in the latter group are indeed scum.

Addiction is an ailment, whether it be booze or illicit substances you use to alleviate your symptom.

Send the dealers/pushers/users/addicts to the Philippines ... they have the right idea on dealing with them. imo

 

As a poster has already said you have no Knowledge about drug use at all, to throw users and addicts into the same pile as dealers and pushers is simply showing your ignorance on real life, you need to get one really.

The professionals at work again. These people should not be allowed to have guns.

After a hard day robbing motorists, you can't expect them to snap into SWAT mode.

Looks like the police have been watching too many James Bond movies.  Shooting out the back tires of the truck.  Where do they think those missed bullets might land?

What a great forum TF seems to be for people to vent such appalling things about very sick people! Drug users are sick people, very sick people not scum.

It's what their addiction makes them do to feed it, that produces the animosity.

Police forces globally are told " no high speed chases unless an actual life is in danger " & no ones life was in danger EXCEPT FOR INNOCENTS IN THEIR PATH !

Bartenders don't carry firearms and run down innocent people though!  A long bow to draw by comparison.
