Video: Thai lawyer forced to the ground and cuffed at Bangkok police station

 

Pictures (2): Manager Online

 

Thai police in Bangkok turned the tables on a well known lawyer at Pahonyothin police station yesterday.

 

Lawyer Sukit Phoonsrikasem was at the police station with a medium who is embroiled in a defamation case.

 

But crime suppression police served him with a warrant concerning illegal encroachment and damage to the environment in Tak province in Thailand's north west.

 

 

When the lawyer refused to go quietly the cops moved in and forced the bespectacled elderly man to the ground to cuff and subdue him.

 

On video he screams that he can't breathe while an officer orders him to be still.

 

In the confusion the medium Ms Saengsuriyathep Phramahasuriya escaped without facing her charges. She is involved in a defamation dispute with Atchariya Reunangratanapong.

 

The video of the lawyer's arrest made it to YouTube with Manager publishing many still photos of the arrest.

What a way to silence the critics, again and again and again....

If I give the name of my Divorce Lawyer in the UK, who ensured I was 'financially scalped' will the RTP do the same?

yes because the whole police force was playing "pile on" with this old guy.

The Thia police ain't got nothing when it comes to some police tactics in the USA.

 

I once counted 20 police "subduing" a  suspect on a YouTube video.    There were simply so many of them they couldn't all touch him at once.

 

From what I observed  in this video it appears the police acted  suddenly without trying to deescalate the situation.   

 

 

[BobBKK]

Served him with a warrant  'Thai style' eh?  

[theguyfromanotherforum]

Meh.... they seemed pretty gentle with him.

 

A donut chuggin American cop would just teaser him at the least.

"Lawyer Sukit Phoonsrikasem was at the police station with a medium who is embroiled in a defamation case."

She should have told him this was going to happen !

Police are looking for a small medium at large.

I wouldn't disagree with you about the doughnut  thing but I'd also say some of the coppers in the video have gone off their Weight Watchers diet as well.

Ha ha!

When it comes to predictions, those mediums are pretty rare, I'd steak her reputation on it.

Didn't his "medium" client see that coming?

[flyingtlger]

How embarrassing.....for both sides!

[SCOTT FITZGERSLD]

HA HA  what a lawyer...he planned each scream and facial expression, while making sure 

his friend films all as evidence, so he can sue them later.

Yeah, that always happens when it comes to have control over more than one thing at the same time.

Because they had to.   They could not help themselves.  How does one say Orwellian in Thai ?

[overherebc]

It may get chopped but here goes anyway.

What do you call a lawyer in jail?
