In a late-night development, seven traffic policemen accused of assaulting a police lieutenant colonel's son surrendered at Bang Khen Police Station, managing to evade the media in a somewhat chaotic scene.

 

On 5th December, it was reported that these officers, from Traffic Control Division 1, were involved in an incident that left Mr Thanapon Kerdsri, aged 33, severely injured at a checkpoint in Soi Prasert-Manukitch 21, Chatuchak, Bangkok. They arrived individually at the station, taking great care to avoid journalists.

 

Around 10 PM, men dressed in casual clothes and wearing jackets, suspected to be the officers involved, parked their cars and motorbikes at the back of Bang Khen Police Station.

Meanwhile, with the media positioned out front, a group of about four or five policemen were seen hurriedly entering through a side stairway to meet investigators on the third floor.

 

Later, at approximately 11.17 PM, two more officers arrived on a motorbike at the front of the station. Upon spotting reporters, they quickly dismounted and dashed into the station to avoid being photographed.

 

The officers belong to Traffic Control Division 1 and are now part of an investigation into the serious confrontation, which has drawn significant attention due to its nature and the individuals involved, reported Daily News

I’m sure a lot of people do care. Just not those who can/should do something about this atrocious behavior.

I guess they beat up the wrong guy.  Maybe an attempted shakedown?  Did he say, "My dad's a cop!" but they didn't believe him?

 

I wonder what would happen if the victim's father was a street vendor, and how many ordinary guys they've done this to.  🤔

It differs from country to country.  But we're talking about Thailand here, where it's especially bad.  🤷‍♂️
