A story in todays SMH clears police in the shopping center shooting.
And I except it.
for interstate readers it is worth a read Friends of the dead man say he needed help, they asked just about every one for it.
In the week before his death, officer involved had no taser he was not first responder, he confronted a rage filled ICE fueled offender who had take two cars at knife point.

I believe there are serious concerns about the police investigating police.
NSW Police Minister Michael Gallacher refused to release the Tasercam footage from the fatal incident involving Brazilian student Roberto Curti. This is not about “due process” it is a case of police media trying to control the news by preventing potentially troubling video being released. in the very least, the Tasercam footage from this incident must be made available to the legal team representing the dead man. Many of us have diminishing faith that police investigating police will deliver the full truth. It was quite clear through the investigation into the death of Adam Salter in 2009 that police investigating police can lead to outcomes that fail to reflect the reality of what occurred. “The Greens are calling for the immediate release of the Tasercam recordings and for the Police Integrity Commission to investigate this critical incident,” said David Shoebridge MLC.

I agree Paul, but can not understand why others are not concerned.
As I said above, I support police, and country community's know,you could not raise enough to pay some cops what they are worth.
But we are too willing to let things pass.
IF that Brazilian man,was our son, we would feel very differently, but fight and fail to get true investigations done.
Back in the 70,s or was it 80,s very high profile Australians, and very rich, found claims of massive drug importation against them in the spotlight.
Well in a small torch light, with flat battery's, names never came out just rumors.
Police covered that up.
This morning,and yesterday, story's of big smuggling corruption and bribes, in customs?
Are our very basics understanding of law and order in the hands, SOMETIMES of Criminals worse than those we look for protection from.
Police may tell us, after they investigate, or will it be customs investigating customs.

You only have to mention the word POLICE and you get all the conservatives singing from the same song sheet.
Law and order, bring back the death penalty, lock em' up throw away the key. more police power, stiffer sentencing. pull them protesters into line. Too often the police act as judge, jury and executioner.
Like any section of the community there are good and bad police. Generally police are conservative people by nature, wanting to maintain the statues quo. Often the police are used as a tool of the establishment to enforce their regime on society, this is done under the guise of 'enforcing the law' or 'maintaining law and order'. At protests some police are none too willing to wade in, to crack a few heads, to get the point across as to who's in charge in our society.
I see the roll of the police force ( in NSW they have dropped the word force, but they are a force) as dealing with real crime in society not being used as a political tool to impose the will of the ruling junta.
