Pattaya Police apologize following shooting of innocent bystander during undercover Police Operation.

[PATTAYA ONE NEWS]

Being an undercover Police Officer, decisions sometimes have to be made in a spilt second and occasionally these decisions can result in mistakes occurring.

This is one such case which occurred in the early hours of Sunday Morning when a group of Pattaya Undercover Police Officers were involved in a drug operation on the Thepprasit Road in Jomtien in front of the weekend market.

They were attempting to arrest a gang of youths suspected of dealing in drugs, however the operation went wrong and ended up as a shootout between the gang members and Police, during which a stray bullet hit Khun Pacharawan aged 23, who was sitting close-by eating some noodles.

She was rushed to the Bangkok-Hospital Pattaya after sustaining a gun shot wound to her right leg.

Later on Sunday, Pattaya Police Officers came to visit the woman, whose medical expenses are being covered by the Police.

They were extremely sorry for the mistake which could have potentially been a fatal one.

Police Captain Chort, who was representing the Pattaya Police Chief explained that this was a terrible mistake and promised there would be a full investigation into the incident which will be followed by disciplinary action and compensation for the innocent victim.

Obviously their training should incorporate the fact that they are not supposed to return fire when innocent members of the public could be hit.
It probably does..Sigh.

Slightly better than when they shot 3 pedestrians 6 months ago while shooting at a car they were chasing.

The guns are in the wrong hands, though.

Lesson for the day: Take cover immediately when shooting starts, do not attempt to finish stuffing your face first.

Smug Farang Bore · 28-09-2009, 08:42 PM

As opposed to all those law abiding and calm individuals that make up american police forces...

Smug Farang Bore · 28-09-2009, 08:47 PM

^ true.

thehighlander959 · 28-09-2009, 08:54 PM

Looks like a shot to "kill policy gone wrong" but then again this is LOS. My hopes here are seriously going down the drain.
And not for the first time.

buriramboy · 28-09-2009, 09:03 PM

Shouldn't there be a poll as to whether she will get 500 or 1000 baht compensation???

You've missed the point Buriramboy

The shooting only started AFTER negotiations went sour..Notice how the story doesn't go into the "sting"? Maybe cause there wasn't any sting operation?

Jeremia · 28-09-2009, 09:05 PM

The people at fault here are the drug dealers with guns that are too eager to use them. Lay off the police trying to clean them up.

Sorry for the late reply..I have been a bit busy.....Across all of the boards everybody follows like sheep slagging off the police. Nobody EVER has a positive individual comment to make. I was just wandering what the reaction of Teakdoor members would be to that comment......
