Police raid RCA nightclub for drug test, injuries as windows smashed

[jspill 2,360]

Apparently no major media covered it but from Stickboy Bangkok site, and some youtube videos of the semi-riot, Onyx at RCA was raided this weekend

Police prevented people for leaving to urine test everyone, some smashed windows trying to escape and lots of injuries from broken glass / stampede I assume

So this follows Pattaya Walking street, Zoe Chiang Mai, and I hear Khao San too, all around the same time

I hope those who broke windows were identified so they can be prosecuted for destruction of property and causing injuries to others.

It's almost like someone told the police all around the country to go out and make some 'news headline' trouble with the people.

Wherever this order came from it serves only one purpose - to create disharmony amongst the people of Thailand.

I don't for one minute believe that everyone in the current transitional government support the current regime.

I believe there are people fighting the current government situation from within and this is merely one of many, many examples of this which have been appearing in the media recently.

As usually in this country, every action by the powers that be, has more than meets the eye,

most of the times it's an enigma

within in a mystery wrapped in a riddle... it's never what it seems.....

I was there on friday night when this happened.. They were doing ID checks and urines on everyone..

It was taking to long so some smash windows to get out... to avoid doing a piss also.

This was the biggest raid I have ever seen... Army and police.. Some big police boss was there also..

From the latest update it seems several broken bones, and one confirmed broken leg of a young woman.

It used to be that the police didn't piss-test foreigners - only Thais - but it appears that's no longer the case

What happens if the urine test is positive on a farang? prison? fine?

'sunnyjim' may be a troll account

It happened to some guys I know they paid 60k baht each and were let go. Which is a bribe not an official fine. They'd much rather just make money.

You guys realise the police are often directly involved in, and profiting from the drug trade, right? That the country is 2/3rds of the way down the global corruption index?

The club raided was known for drug use for years, one could buy drugs from the waiters. The police are more than aware of what's going on, they only decide to make raids based on some political power struggle higher up, which again comes back to money.
