Cops extreme violence against victims of land grabbing seen through the eyes of a pro-gov't newspaper

The following photos were published by the pro-government Koh Santepheap newspaper showing the violence perpetrated by the police force, armed with guns and live ammunitions, against the victims of land grabbing. The villagers from the Ang Snuol district came to Phnom Penh to voice their protest against the grabbing of their lands and the arrest of one of their representatives. The cops used extreme violence to prevent them from entering the city.

THis is how Mok Chito can have his power back. He prepares to do everything to please his boss Ah Hun Sen. Why all foreign deplomates in Cambodia are stll keep quiet? They need big diamond from Hun Sen'wife instead. Offcourse their salary is only about US$150,000.00. If Hun Sen'wige will give them a few diamonds, they will get more than they needs to work for few years. Everyone is thinking of themselve. Cambodians must find their own justice by their own means. If you wait for foreigners to give you justice than, your son and daughter will next be in the prostitude club.

The Cambodian cops and soldiers are a disgrace to their own country. They are only good for beating up, torturing and killing their own people and each other!

They exist to serve the interests of their masters who treat them even less than their pets. Their bestiality is beyond my understanding.

For whatever regimes they serve under, they have never been able to fulfill their noble duties and obligation of defending their motherland against Cambodia's ambitious and rapacious neighbours. Their behaviors are egregious and hopelessly doomed.

How pusillanimous and vicious they are to gang up on one poor unarmed Khmer as shown in the second picture!

Shame on them!

Everyone knows that cops are so violence, but Hun Send did not know because he is blind.

Soldiers, you do look great in olive uniform with the national flag of the picture of Great Angkor on your arm. But you look too cruel and brutal, when you are beating civilians - especially Khmer civilians who are unarmed and possibly innocent.

You are disgraced as a soldier who belongs to a mere Khmer nation and people. You don't deserve to wear that uniform, because whoever are in this uniform are obligated to serve and protect Khmers in particular.

Whether exessive execution of the order or following the exact order of your superior to such actions would only make the situation from bad to worst. We don't want to see that today is your turn, and tomorrow will be theirs. Vulnerable victims are still Khmers, whose their identy is also yours.

Please, soldiers, we are the same Khmer. Tolerant actions is a better way to make all Khmers can live together in peace and happiness.
