webfact Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Two junior police transferred for not being neutral By The Nation Two junior policemen each based in Buri Ram and Yasothon have been transferred away for "not acting neutral" during political rallies in the runup to the July 3 election. The two unnamed noncoms have been accused of acting unlawfully in their extra favour of unspecified political parties against electoral regulations. An investigation into similar acts by the police chief of newlyestablished province of Bueng Kan is complete and probe results will be known today, said Pol General Phongsaphat Phongcharoen, head of the police's centre handling security in the poll. Nakhon Sawan and Chiang Rai are the two latest provinces announced as "hot spots" in addition to 13 others, following police intelligence reports on tendency of political violence. He said a large number of raids and arrests would be conducted the soonest in the 15 provinces including Bangkok to capture war weapons and unauthorised handguns as part of police's preemtive measures to deter violence. Police protection has been provided now to a total of 183 candidates, mostly those based in the North, and second most in the Central. Ballots were yesterday flown to Thai embassies and foreign missions worldwide for advance voting from June 1226, with police escort of transport of ballots provided at Suvarnabhumi airport. The general said police were working on sketchs of assailants suspected of lobbing a grenade at the main rally site of the People's Alliance for Democracy near the Government House, while working on a clue indicating the use of the same Chinesemade grenade in two previous attacks in Bangkok last year. A number of Type 822 grenades were also found in Wat Pathum Wanaram where the red shirt protestors camped during their violent progests last May. Police in the deep South made arrests of 886 people they said were career criminals and drug dealers since April, while 12 gunmen in addition to the most wanted 73 on the run were on a local watchlist. -- The Nation 2011-06-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Strange way to post the news with one headline. Well its great if you want to appear to be reporting the news, but bury it at the bottom of a nothing headline. I would think the point that the police have arrested 886 people in the South since April, is a bigger headline than suspending 2 coppers for favouring one political party over another.

SabaiBKK Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) 6 different stories under one heading: 1. not neutral cops 2. political violence 3. ballot papers 4. grenades at pad 5. grenades at Wat Pathum Wanaram over a year ago 6. arrests of criminals in the deep south a bit of telegraphic reporting typical of the Nation , thats why i stopped my subscription ... poor quality articles badly written and mixing up the stories quite too often ... the other english newspaper is not better in terms of journalistic professionalism but at least the editor does a fair job and its readable. i really used to prefer the Nation until they revamped their format.

pisico Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 <br />Strange way to post the news with one headline.<br /><br /><br /><br />Justifying the salary. Scooping from the past to show good knowledge of the issue which, in itself embodies one sided propaganda. Friends in the BIB camp are now happy. If The Nation does not get soon, real soon reporters who at least can do a decent job, the writing is on the wall... every time this reporter gets published.

Folks would stop to think twice that if they lose impunity, is it wise to pay $ to be a cop? That is one strong reason they are not fired. The other scenario is that the fired cop may open a can of worms showing who appointed them to the BIBs and for how much, etc. Bad for business!
