Related to current protests, it seems not much has changed in almost half a century.

Warning, graphic content.

It seems that the current PM is trying to avoid a repeat of that horrific day, without giving in to all the demands.

Twitter revealed on Thursday that it had uncovered a network of accounts “partaking in information operations” against prominent anti-government figures and opposition politicians.

According to the social media giant’s safety page, the company discovered 926 accounts which could be “reliably link[ed] to the Royal Thai Army and was actively engaged in information warfare against the government’s political opposition.

The full list of accounts associated with the RTA can be found here. Twitter said it would continue to take action against the network as it uncovers further details.

I'm seeing the below picture all over fb today. I can't grasp what's going on from the comments. My Thai reading skills are not great and Google translate's are even worse.

Anyone know?

I'll try find one. Most I saw were just on folk's news feeds. No link just the picture with a comment.

It's not News then without backup. We'll move it back if it turns out to indeed be News.

I believe the man being manhandled by the police had something to do with a sex offense involving an underage girl

Can't find link yet. Just another fb feed with the below and the comment, "The most corrupt group in Thailand".

Will keep looking.

Think I've got to the bottom of it. Thai police removing activists camping out at victory monument for a planned protest tomorrow.

At 12 minutes you can see them being hauled away into the police vans.

First picture: Looks like the army dude might have a hold on a couple of nuts. Cannot tell if the guy is grimacing or smiling. Wonder if some translatable text might give a clue..?

If you throw paint on the police, they will respond forcefully. Dumb move by the protesters. Say what you want to say but don't physically attack the police of the army or they will respond and you are likely to get hurt.
