Popular Post monkeycountry 2,112 Posted March 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2015 Only in Thailand can police be caught drunk in bars while armed, and still get to keep their jobs. I am not referring to this case, but generally. 12 Link to post Share on other sites

bangon04 1,943 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Armed, drunk and dangerous. And unlucky for the population that he is still alive. "Sitthiporn was eventually shot in his left leg" wonder how many bullets were needed to "eventually" shoot him by the highly trained police. It would be funny to see if it weren't so irresponsible and stupidly dangerous behaviour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
