Pol Pot and Acolytes were the perfect solution for rhese bad cops.

Did you even think before you wrote that stupid comment

Can’t believe people say stuff like this, especially if they’re in country and have a Cambodian wife and children. Utterly disrespectful.
I know a guy who regularly says they (KR) didn’t kill enough of them, and he’s in the position above.

The corruption is irrelevant - the actual crime was him being caught doing it.

I’d bet that every poster who’s ever lived in Cambodia has been guilty of joining in the whole corruption circus at some point. It’s inevitable.

Of course it is. I was involved in a road traffic violation, the cop gave me a choice: $25 fine with official receipt, or $10 no receipt. I won't say which I chose - but what would you choose in that situation?
