[snoop1130]

 

A police officer agreed to pay 140,000 baht in compensation to a female durian vendor after the two engaged in a physical altercation where the cop broke the vendor’s plastic nose. The dispute was ignited by an outstanding debt of 350 baht for the durian.

 

The durian vendor, 27 year old Tittaya Boonpamee, shared footage of the altercation from a security camera on Facebook. From the footage, Tittaya is seen punching the police officer, whose identity was not disclosed, in the face.

 

Tittaya later revealed the details of the dispute to ThaiRath today. She explained that the physical assault occurred at a coffee shop in the northeastern province of Sisaket on August 28. Police officers in the video bought durian at 1,350 baht but paid only paid her 1,000 baht.

 

According to Tittaya, she demanded the missing 350 baht from the officer but he refused to pay and kicked her in the face. She had just had some nose surgery and the attack broke her nose.

Disgusting.

Disciplinary action?.........kicked off the force?..................I doubt it..............

"My team member was not as conscious as he should have been and was not disciplined."

So, a member of the police force, who kicks women in the face, is free to go about upholding the law in Thailand..........

Not unlike the police officers in the UK that got away for years sexually assaulting women.

All over a bit of durian. That's a stinky situation.

Is that 'the' lady in the photo (full story) Jeez i wouldn't want to tackle her in a fight.

I have said this before: What kind of selection process do they have which allows warped thuggish individuals like this on the force? Is there any kind of disciplinary process in the Thai police? The man should have been suspended immediately prior to investigation and dismissal AND the police force should have paid compensation for the thuggish actions of an officer on duty, they are responsible for his actions whilst on duty.

Up where I live there are always complaints from the owners of  bars and restaurants about police underpaying for goods and services or signing bills and then not honoring the debts due.

'Hits' implies a use of hands. The report states that he kicked her.
