“Urgent transfer!”

Don’t you think that’s a bIt harsh? I mean the guy could only cough up 1 million B! How the hell is the officer supposed to pay off his gambling debts?

Doesn’t he get any points for wearing a mask?

There is a longer version of about 10 minutes also on Twitter.



About 5 minutes of them strangling the guy to death (you can hear his last gasps of breath/crying), then 1 minute of them standing around his body, then finally giving the guy some half assed version of cpr at the 8 minute mark.

Scum.

Thailand, Australia, Anywhere..
It has been proven over and over again - you start letting cops get away with small brutalities and it always progresses to this.
You give any man a gun and unchechecked power and he runs the risk of eventually "breaking bad".
'Human nature.
NB ^^ FIVE of them. It's a "culture" that has broken bad - not an individual or even 5 individuals.

Most cops are heroes in my book. Possibly more than most, because of the life i have lived, i know the kinds of shit deeds and piss people the average cop has to deal with every day.
Munts like this betray all the rest. Root them out at the very first hint and set the standards high.
The goods cops deserve that.

** Au's most classic case - Det Sarg Roger Rogerson. Hero.
Old school cop, "just speaking the lingo the crooks can understand" - you know, the occasional biff around the head with the telephone book to get the confession straight.
Turns out he led squads all his life that franchised and stoodover the whole Sydney serious crime scene - and was in fact a serial murderer himself.
Got pats on the back and medals all the way.
just the occasional biff, it works if you want to solve crime

Hospital responds to 'cause of death' row in police fatal torture case
published : 25 Aug 2021 at 20:34
writer: Online Reporters

A public hospital in Nakhon Sawan province that came under fire over what it said was the cause of death of a drug suspect who was tortured by police on Wednesday issued a statement in its defence.

Sawanpracharak Hospital on Wednesday said on its Facebook page that “possible amphetamine toxicity" was initially listed as the cause of death to allow relatives to apply for a death certificate.

“The dead man, 24, was initially admitted to Prince Paknampo Hospital at 7.20pm on Aug 5 and was pronounced dead at 1.20pm on Aug 6," Sawanpracharak Hospital posted.

Prince Paknampo Hospital’s report claimed that the man ran away and when police gave chase, he fainted and lost consciousness.

After his death, the body was sent to Sawanprachak Hospital’s forensic unit for a post-mortem examination to detarmine the cause of his death, the statement continued.

The autopsy was performed at 9am on Aug 7 because the hospital had to await a Covid-19 test result first. A urine test found methamphetamine and amphetamine in his body. The initial cause of death listed toxic levels of amphetamine as a possible cause.

The hospital is now waiting for lab test results for blood levels of methamphetamine, and the autopsy will be used to determine the exact result, which will be released next week.

The document a doctor issued was for relatives to apply for a death certificate, and merely an initial finding, the hospital said, and the conclusion from the complete autopsy report may be similar or different.

The hospital’s statement came after many on social media raised doubts about the stated cause of the suspect’s death.

Jeerapong Thanapat, a 24-year-old drug suspect died at the Muang police station in Nakhon Sawan on Aug 6. He and his wife had been arrested with 100,000 illicit drug pills on a bypass road in the province.

His death drew public attention when a video clip showing a man being suffocated with a plastic bag went viral on Tuesday. The man was later identified as Jeerapong.

An old local trick, it seems

Thailand: Torture in the southern counter-insurgency
Amnesty Int; 2009
The most common torture techniques were beatings, kicking and stomping on victims,
and plastic bags placed over detainees’ heads to nearly suffocate them. Four of the victims
died in detention from their treatment.

“They put a plastic bag on my head until I fainted, and then poured a bucket of cold water on me,” he was quoted as saying. “They applied electro-shock to my penis and chest. I was restrained, my legs tied, and my face covered with tape and a plastic bag."

Bangkok prison hell for man who denies murder
Locked up in a Thai jail for a murder he says he didn't commit, Colin Martin has TB and spent almost two years of his sentence in leg-irons.
Irish Times; 2002
It was to be a new start, a chance for laid-off shipyard workers to get off the dole and find lucrative work halfway around the world...
Martin (40) claims he was tortured by Thai police, who forced him to sign a statement confessing to the murder of New Zealander Brett Holdsworth in 1997.
He says police punched him, attached electrodes to his body and placed a plastic bag over his head. His lawyer failed to turn up at his trial.

Thailand: Convictions of Police in Drug Campaign Abuse a ‘First Step’
Stronger Government Action Needed Against Police Brutality
Human Rights Watch; 2009
In the case that led to the convictions, Nat's squad arbitrarily arrested Jutaporn Nunrod in Bangkok on February 8, 2007, and then took her to a "safe house" at the Green Inn Hotel. She was stripped half-naked, subjected to electric shock, severely beaten, and had a plastic bag placed over her head for two days in order to extract a confession that she was involved in drug trafficking. Jutaporn and her family were also forced to give cash and a gold necklace worth 100,000 Thai baht (US$3,000) to Nat.

Other victims of Nat and his squad claim they were subjected to electric shock, had plastic bags placed over their heads, and were severely beaten. Many also claimed they were forced to pay bribes in order to be released or to have lesser charges filed against them.

"These convictions were not an isolated case of rogue officers, but part of chronic problems in police operations that use violence and illegality to fight crimes," said Pearson. "Police in Thailand have long had sweeping powers and have rarely faced punishment for often horrendous misconduct."

Very brave young men/women!
There seems to be a great movement among the younger generation in Thailand & the possibility of greater justice for the people & the future

I've often suspected they same, when we see reports of confessions at police stations here in Cambodia.
