Mentors Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Shock transfer of police chief Phatcharawat was urgently transferred in the middle of Suvarnabhumi crisis, renewing doubts about Army chief's future Police Commissioner-General Pol Gen Phatcharawat Wongsuwan was Friday removed as the national police chief and seconded to an inactive post at the PM's Office. The government appointed police inspector-general Pol Gen Prateep Tanprasert as caretaker police commissioner-general. Phatcharawat's removal came less then 24 hours after the police were made to lead state of emergency operations to dislodge anti-government protesters from the Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports. Inevitably, the removal revived rumours about a military coup, as speculation revolved around whether Army chief Anupong Paochinda would be the next transfer target. The Army has shown reluctance to be engaged in any drastic action against the PAD, and, according to the state of emergency declaration, the Army's role was very limited in its implementation. Government spokesman Nattawut Sai-kue, speaking to reporters, confirmed the removal. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/11/28/headlines/headlines_30089715.php is Mr. T. now acting?

Faustian Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Here we go....ante upped. Siege mentality to follow...distinct prospect of violent confrontation. Deep joy. Seems the government are almost expecting a coup. Thaksin to direct the movements via phone and satellite! Can't the government do it??? Aren't they able to control their own country and police force? This is all getting a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 All good and nice but I am trying to imagine what will happen if the police uses M16 on the PAD instead of negotiating... What a fucked up world we live in Addition: Just read through the numerous posts. The governement showed its true ugly face -> "we are little kids and we need Mr T to tell us what to do"....-> not taking into account that this asshole just wants power back even if he has to kill numerous people to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 next chapter already in the pipeline: "No negotiation: Sondhi declares Sondhi Limthongkul, No-1 leader of People's Alliance for Democracy, told protesters not to believe that the People's Alliance for Democracy would give in and negotiate with police to move protesters out of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang Airport . "PAD leaders will never negotiate with police," Sondhi told the crowd at the government House. Sondhi also warned police not to listen to orders from Interior Minister Kowit Wattana, saying the People Power Party would be dissolved by the Constitution Court after December 2 and the House would be dissolved and Kowit would lose power.
