Thai police too good, in other countries the attackers get shoot already for self defense with no guilt .

in the west they do not want to make it a riot so they will back out if confronted with a large number of people

i do not know how many were there on the field but i guess a few more than 50 or so

and probably with guns and knifes to ( they take bombs guns and knifes to a party so why not when watching a game)

And video them all for arrest later.

should be a lot people there with smartphones

PHUKET: -- Two men have been arrested for their part in the savage beating of a police colonel who was trying to arrest a suspected highway robber in Bang Tao.

Pol Col Sommai On-Kham was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital after being beaten unconscious by a mob at a football match last Tuesday.

Police had gone to arrest Wirat ‘Kham’ Prabphet, 36, on charges of armed robbery, attempted murder and vehicle theft.

Kham was playing in a football match when the five police, in plain clothes, arrived at the Ban Bangtao School football field. Football fans, thinking that the police were, unaccountably, about to hurt someone for playing football, poured out of the stands and chased the officers.

The police ran away but Col Sommai was caught and received a vicious beating. Kham also made good his escape.

Examination of security camera footage allowed police to identify some of those who attacked the officers and on Saturday Suchat Wanthong and Thepnarin Manabut were arrested for their part in the attack.

Col Sommai is recovering, but will need a extensive dental bridgework to replace teeth that were broken in the attack.
