Policeman Mobbed, Severely Injured By Anti-Govt Protesters

BANGKOK: -- A police officer in charge of overseeing the anti-government protests on Ratchadamnoen Avenue has been admitted to hospital with severe injuries after he was mobbed by a group of protesters.

Reports say Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Sunthorn Nongyai was filming a man playing guitar in front of a restaurant in the protest site last night when he was spotted by the protesters. The protest guards accused the police officer of spying on them, and reportedly proceeded to kick him in the face.

The guards also took his smartphones. They later blindfolded and handcuffed Pol.Sgt.Maj. Sunthorn before beating beating him repeatedly, until protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban learned of the incident and ordered the guards to stop.

Reportedly, Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Sunthorn suffered with head injuries and wound infections in his knees, causing the medical team to operate on his nose and keep him at the hospital.

His condition has been described as severe, but gradually improving.

This is the future if Suthep gets his way.

He should change the yellow shirts to brown shirts, more inline with their thugish actions.

[newcomer71]

It's obvious that talk violently, giving ultimatum, act like the dictator of Thailand, doesn't bring good things...

[tominbkk]

When did this happen? Very bad indeed. Despicable acts normally reserved for red shirt thugs.

[robblok]

Indeed real bad to do this, extreme idiots. Protesting is a good thing not this violence it will only turn people against them.

Hope the guy recovers.

[londonthai]

he suppose to have a back up from the other cops with him. Recording on a smartphone was in his private, and not official, capacity.

accusing somebody for "spying" because he recorded on a smartphone, is beyond believe

Blimey, you're improving. Normally at this stage you would swear blind that it was the UDD that were responsible. Note that you still use the good old catchall phrase of "red shirt thugs", haven't quite thrown that off yet.

Always nice when people posting but haven't a clue about the topic.

These are NOT the yellow shirts. The yellow shirts were the PAD....

Just one remark, i already condemned these actions.

If you read correctly it stopped the moment Suthep hear about it (allegedly) So that points to him not condoning it either. So how that would point that this would happen a lot if he gets in power is beyond me.

Same same but different.

They changed the name, different t-shirt but they are EXACTLY the same mob as the yellow shirts

One may add here that k. Suthep should also lecture those guards on their duty which doesn't include harassing or harming policemen.

I just wanted to post, that I am waiting for the first one to show up and call this a red- propaganda act...but I see: I was a bit late!

That's exactly what Hitler said before he murdered Rohm (special security).

And then he went on to create...?

You should study a bit more modern history my friend.

Ah godwins law is true again.

[Bluespunk]

He was beaten, that is wrong. But he was not beaten to within an inch of his life.

So that makes it allright then ? Time for the police to act, real protestors don't have or need a security detail, lock them up and throw away the key.

You might want to read the first sentence of my post. My point was that exaggerating what happened is unnecessary. As for real protestors not needing a security detail and being locked up I assume you're including the red stormtroopers from 2010 in that category.

No I do not, after all that was 2010, it is now December 2013. Quite surprising the level of matureness on here, you sound like a little kid. I am not discussing the red shirts, I don't care about the red shirts either. I simply state that real demonstrators don't need a security detail, and that this particular security detail should be locked up, based on what they did according to this article. That others have done the same thing over three years ago, is of no consequence whatsoever.

Yes, i agree believe its not the first time this happened.

Oh dear, getting personal are we. Your original argument makes no sense if you don't include all protest security details. If it is wrong now then it was wrong then. I personally don't see the need for security details. Attracts those looking for a ruck. If you are referring to just one security detail you should have said so in your post.

I gather, there is not a lot of love for cops out there...I wonder why?

[Chao Lao Beach]

The HUB of the pack dog mob mentality.

[somchaismith]

Wonder what his knees were infected with?

[Soi Sauce]

Propaganda. Maybe.

And how much corruption paid for the cop's "Smartphones"

Most reds cannot afford one!

Pitty that his dad did not own Red Bull, and the, maybe, invented assaillants did not use a Ferrari to hurt, sorry kill acop.

Be the latter you get away free. Bet daddy's in the ruling gang.

Justice?
