Cockfight turns into copfight.
Cop vs cops in cockfight standoff
Mon, 30 January 2017

A police captain from the capital faces arrest today for his role in leading a standoff against Kampong Speu provincial police who attempted to raid a cockfight he was allegedly running only to be humiliated and ultimately forced to fire warning shots to make good their exit.
Kampong Speu provincial police chief Sam Samuon yesterday said the officer, captain Kheng Sokha of the Phnom Penh municipal police’s economic crime unit, had been transferred for “education” and would today be one of five people named in an arrest warrant as ringleaders of the illegal matches in Kong Pisei district’s Veal commune.
According to Samuon, Sokha, who can be heard berating local officials in a video of the incident posted on social media, confronted a raid by commune and district police officers on January 24 with “arrogance” and superior numbers.
Samuon said the 20-odd officers leading the operation were intimidated into the ring, where they were surrounded by about 50 spectators, at which point one officer, feeling threatened, fired into the air.
“They had started yelling threateningly at us, because his side had many people, between 50 and 60 people including gamblers,” Samuon said. ..

A police officer was suspended for blocking local authorities’ attempts to close down his cockfighting ring in Kompong Speu province and threatening fellow police officers, an official said.
Kheng Sokha, an economic police officer from the Phnom Penh municipal police, was suspended temporarily from his job on Sunday and will be moved to the personnel department in the Interior Ministry, provincial police chief Sam Samoun said.
Mr. Sokha threatened the officers, alleging he had an AK-47 assault rifle in his car, and police left the site without arresting anyone, Mr. Samoun said.
