The following surprising turn of events took place
in Thailand where , the local police who were ordered to harass and
block protestors, in a special holiday in memorial of fallen kings, they
decided to place down their Shields and helmets as a sign of solidarity
with the peoples cause.
The gathering’s protestors
explained that their goal is to destroy the political machine of former
Prime Minister Thakskin Shinawatra, who is accused of widespread
corruption and abuse of power. The present Prime Minister, Yingluck
Shinawatra, is Thakskin’s sister and is seen as a puppet of her brother.
In a move to topple the Shinawatra government, protestors planned on
storming the Bangkok Metropolitan Police Bureau. This act was devised
and led by protest leader, Suthep Thaugsuban.
But
what police did instead surprised many. Their lowering of arms and
joining with protestors marks a turning point in the protests and a potential shift in power.
The following video shares the triumphant merging of both sides.
It is an inspirational act for law enforcement workers to take
initiative and stand up for what is right. Who knows what changes could
take place if other countries followed suit..
