Police get moved about to 'reduce corruption' what that really means is new police arrive and make a clampdown until places cough uip and the deals get renegotiated continually..
There are always power struggles between powers that be.. local police.. imported police etc.. Eg while Pian was thrown out of office for corruption the then mayor could do nothing or get nothing done because the senior police were still aligned with Pian.. Low and behold one term later hes voted back in..
There appears to be a BKK / Kathu power struggle (Kathu having revenues from Patong hold more sway than say 'Talang' etc) and friction.. Taking it to taking pot shots at each other in the street seems to be stepping it up a bit !!!!
