ThailandRyan Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So do they count them as fired if they resigned in-lieu of termination in order to keep their pensions like the police in the US are given a choice of in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 And how many have been arrested, and jailed? Zero? First of all, the RTP at it's inception seems to have been created with a status quo from the government. We will NOT pay you a living wage, but you have a franchise, and the limit of your income is based solely on your own creativity and initiative, and you will always be protected. Is that not the case? So, even if this administration was sincere, which of course they are not, where would you begin to change that culture? You know where? You would double all salaries. And invest in modern equipment, forensic labs and an effective highway patrol. Probably a trillion baht to start. What about starting with traffic safety? Saving thousands of lives a year? Issuing a DUI? How about pulling people over for reckless driving? The police here are not law enforcement. They are franchisees. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are some police who got canned for openly supporting the students and protests. They are not aloud to want real honest people in government and a change to the other thing we can't talk about. Prayut and his regime clowns and puppets are just evil. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
