This would help the police having a good reputation and doing a good job. (that's what they want, I guess?) In their job they have to be an example of righteousness and kind behaviour. If they fail they need to be named and shamed so police could get rid of those who are not qualified. They should not be allowed to sue defamation. Key word being should but would never happen.

That law isn't designed to kill messengers so much as to silence decent. It's working as designed I have to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 8 hours ago, smedly said: correct, they are accountable to the public, video footage will either prove he did nothing wrong or ............... otherwise, it is time the top brass went public to encourage the public to expose wrong doing just like they are now offering rewards for the public to report criminal activity and traffic violations. It is time the police realised they are accountable to the public for their actions That realization, here, is at least a generation away. Thailand has no idea how much goings on such as this damage it on the global stage. Apologists will yammer endlessly about how stuff like this happens everywhere. But you know what? It really doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the cop doing with 2 people on the back of his (official?) bike whilst on duty? Wonder if he is going to try to use the helmet he threw on the ground for official use again? I once saw a cop ride his police motorbike into the middle of a police helmet checkpoint area, pick up 2 schoolkids and ride out again with them on the back not wearing any helmets!

jacko45k Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I see the video is no longer available. Pity it might show the policeman illegally carrying 2 children. Removing videos and suing for defamation is not the solution to peoples infantile and hostile behavior. Being held up for ridicule is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lawrence Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The policeman is beyond mere mortals, or so he is led to believe. A total embarrassment to the Thai Police Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl sees all Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I can recall seeing a policeman kicking a driver on a motorbike under a flyover a couple of years back. There was a big fuss at the time then it all went quiet and the video disappeared. I think this incident will go the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another publicity coup just for Thailand's finest. I'm surprised this well-trained and superbly disciplined officer didn't pull his revolver and ceremonially shoot himself in the foot while he was conducting his little public dummy-spit. Where do they recruit these fools from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sympathies to the kids for their misfortune (you know what I mean). And he was working so hard on trying to impress them with his masculinity and commanding presence.

Siriporn doesn't realise yet just how lucky she is. This clown has virtually provided her with a 'Get Out of Jail" card free of charge for a year or two. If she's ever arrested or otherwise inconvenienced by police all she'll need to do is produce media coverage of this event and, with a clever lawyer, create doubt in the minds of a court that she's the victim of revenge harrassment prompted by this idiot and his corrupt mates. A no-brainer (in several contexts)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The writing is on the wall ......... This crook needs to get booted out of his uniform without notice; I can just hope they will not find the guy who posted (correctly) the truth. As mentioned, the writing is on the wall and the days of civil war and unrest are just around the corner. Absolute power ........... corrupts absolutely and cannot be more evident with those loose cannons shooting in all direction, everyone buys whatever they want, be it tanks or subs and we see daily highway robberies on Pattaya's streets by the BiB. Be warned, just be warned ... Maybe it is time to pack and move on ...... after decades of non-improvement that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
