Murder. Death penalty.

There is no rational justification for this type of policing. Unless it turns out the young victims had committed murder. Anything else is just thugery by police. Stupid kids don't deserve to die at the hands of power tripping cops.

You pays your money and you accept the consequences. Police action may have saved others lives.

Yes but why they disappeared when the other police arrive this you not do if you have nothing to hide somethings wrong here it looks like more that the kids and police where in buisnes together and a deal went wrong

The cops actions suggest otherwise.

Many years ago I was at a restaurant with a few local Thai school teachers in a village near Ayuthaya. 

We heard a crunch and saw the car of one of the teachers had been reversed into by a pickup truck so we rushed over.

It was clearly their fault and as they got out we could see the driver and the others were drunk so the local police were called and turned up on a motorbike within minutes.

The police started to talk to the driver aggressively but once the driver took out his police ID they calmed down and after a few minutes the driver and the other occupants of the pickup truck disappeared.

We all went to the police station and made statements but the policeman driving the pickup got away with it as we were told we had parked illegally where as in fact we had parked in a marked legal parking spot.

Out word against theirs. 

(This was a long time before camera phones were available).

On another occasion we were at an outside restaurant and we heard police talking amongst themselves at another table about paying for promotions and how it all works.

Kids not speeding, Police no siren or lights, police run them off the road, police disappear.

The foul smell from this is already fouling the air and RTP reputation goes south again. 

Something very wrong here, not from the kids but from the Police.

Can't wait to hear the fantasy story line from this one that exonerates the Police involved.

3 drunk cops?
