Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 Murdering policemen is no big thing amongst the Ferrari-driving Thai elite so I doubt it will change the tactics of Suthep. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave policeman RIP He's already on a charge for 90 deaths during the 2010 'peaceful' protests by the reds, I don't think he really cares if this government decides to add one more. Anyway RIP. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h90 Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 The first one to die at the hands of the protesters now criminal charges for murder must be placed against Suthep. Brave policeman RIP Please share the evidence with us for: Shot by the protestors. Suthep ordered it. At the moment it could be: a person who is neither protestor not police/government an army guy man in black from government to have a reason to clamp down on the protestors a protestor Considering that there are no other weapons and that it is a PR disaster for Suthep I doubt he has anything to do with it. If he want to take the building with weapons it would easier to have 10 people with AK-47 instead of a sniper.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon467367354 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I didn't see where the officer was shot by a protestor but rather shot at the protests. Where have we seen violence being incited before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously on this thread you "liked" a post where the poster stated that the police violently attacked protestors. Could you kindly inform us of the firsthand observations you made when witnessing this. I'm interested to know what you saw. Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ratcatcher Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. This is the sort of reply to a thread like this that is needed at this time. The officer was doing his job, as ordered, and the protesters were doing what they believed in. Times are tense and injuries and deaths are a real possibility. Regardless of side, color or affiliation or bias, it is always sad to read about someone's death. He probably left loved ones. The reality is that if this whole situation gets much further out of hand, then this sort of thing will be a daily occurrence in larger numbers. R.I.P. officer no-name. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Well considering several media reports that have declared as soon as protesters opened the gates they were shot at with tear gas and rubber bullets. The pictures are there to back it up.Don't you think it very strange that after all the restraint the police decide to launch into a violent offensive totally out of the blue and a police officer ends up being shot? I think it very strange..... almost like the whole thing was staged from the start. Let's just say that the evidence points more to a propaganda stunt than what it is actually attempting to portray. Unless any of us were there and saw it with our own eyes then none of us know what happened. We can only postulate.

Popular Post Scamper Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 Before people begin to assign blame for this - an investigation is yet to take place, gentlemen - it should be noted that there have been fatalities on both sides in this conflict, all of them unnecessary. It should also be noted that whenever policemen are authorized to use rubber bullets - as was the case here - all sorts of tragic circumstances can develop. The administration must take responsibility for that. They must also take responsibility for ramming an amnesty bill through, that has sparked the crisis that has culminated in today's unrest and today's tragedy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave policeman RIP Where does it say that the policeman was killed at the hands of the demonstrators? Is this another case of people not analyzing the data and making rash statements, with out any proof. This could be taken as verbal fesses.

Bluespunk Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 To date I've read it was a sniper (capo press release) and the ubiquitous "man in black" shooting at the protesters, who was caught and handed over to police by protest "guards". (Nation I think). Does anyone actually know where the shooting came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a gift. Take the notion of "ramming an amnesty bill through". What exactly does that mean? I think for you it means a vote was taken with an outcome I didn't like. Therefore it was "rammed...through" What makes this even more ludicrous is that the bill was stopped dead in its tracks by the Senate. The system worked. A bill that you think was bad was stopped. And somehow the blocking of a now dead bill justifies trying to unseat the government? Obviously this is a shoddy pretext to get by extraconstitutional means what they can't get by an election. At least the Republicans in the USA were trying to undo a bill that had actually been enacted. What's the yellow shirts' justification? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the only reason the senate rejected the bill is because of the protests. If it wasn't for the protests, the senate would have passed it. As it was, it was rejected, but that just meant it could have been passed by the lower house after a 180 day delay. Then the government dissolved parliament, basically killing the bill off. The protests worked. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
