The Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) will adjust the deployment of troops to provide security in Bangkok by replacing soldiers with police, the caretaker deputy premier said on Tuesday. :surprised:

 

Surapong Tovichakchaikul, as CAPO chief adviser, said that once the caretaker cabinet approved extending enforcement of the Internal Security Act (ISA) for another 61 days until June 30, the number of the military would be reduced while police would be increased.

 

There were currently 58 companies of soldiers deployed in Bangkok and adjacent provinces for security, he said, but now the police will assume wider responsibility

 

More details will follow in one to three days, he said. The adjustment is designed to ensure more effective law enforcement. The Army will remain in place at Government House.

 

The change is in part a result of the easing situation, with the number of protesters shrinking and the progovernment United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) announcing they would not confront rival groups, Surapong said.

'Gotta get the soldiers away from the blockades set up to prevent Red terrorists from other parts of Thailand from storminhg Bangkok - maybe sacking and burning the city down AGAIN. Time to get the police enablers into place, to clear the way for the barbarian hordes.

 

Just to be fair - Suthep needs to be awarded an eternal dirt nap at the earliest opportunity, He's basically an alternate universe version of Chalerm - who would also be of better service to mankind if he permanently assumed room temperature.

 

Hey - today was Dipangkorn's birthday !!!!!

 

 

Cheers!

Prayuth urges police to guarantee if they can keep security if troops pulled out from Bangkok streets

 

 

Army Commander-in-Chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha Tuesday demanded police guarantee that they can prevent violence in Bangkok if troops would be pulled out from Bangkok streets and sent back to their barracks.

 

Prayuth was reacting to reports that the Centre for Administration of Peace and Order had decided to replace troops with police forces in keeping security in Bangkok.

 

The Army has maintained troops on Bangkok streets near rally sites to prevent violent attacks. The red-shirt movement alleged that the Army chief deployed troops to protect anti-government protesters instead of keeping law and order.

 

Prayuth said there were still conditions for violence, so if the CAPO orders troops to return to their barracks, police would have to guarantee they would be able to keep security and assure the people of safety.
