Thai police chief, known as Jo Ferrari, wanted over viral torture clip
Investigators in Thailand are hunting for a now-sacked police chief after a video went viral showing the apparent torture and killing of a drug suspect
I suppose the 13 !! luxury cars they found at his house may have just been in case he needed a quick get away - not that the police are corrupt of course......Im not suggesting that for a second ......

There's definitely a dark undertone to this society of ours.
Par for the course. No surprise.
What is particularly worrying is that the murderers didn't seem to care that their actions were being recorded. Confidence that their actions would never be punished? or sheer stupidity? .Either explanation suggests that Thailand has a serious problem with its policemen..
No surprise, but it's correct to keep publicizing the activities of the brown shirt state mafia.Quote:

Nakhon Sawan translates into "Heavenly City".
Still on my list to visit.
I must try to not show symptoms of hyperventilating and get the "plastic bag treatment" if pulled over by police.
Maybe they were out of paper bags that day...
Friends in high places? how can a provincial police captain own a luxury apartment in Bangkok and a fleet of luxury cars without his superiors knowing?
He can't.Quote:

The BBC didn’t stop short in calling out the Thai police in their article below anyway that’s for sure ( not that it will make the remotest difference other than a few people getting transferred perhaps).
So, whilst I’m not a betting man should we open a “book” to set the odds now then on just how quickly the guy goes free or what the “fine” ( and subsequent transfer deal) will consist of perhaps for him ?

This includes the video.
Any country interested in cleaning up corruption ought to execute officials if properly convicted of this type of offence. I guess that will not be Thailand.
