o sung wu - police value dearly the 'squad dynamic'. A good squad always sticks together, works closely and often socialise together.

There are two sides to that 'brotherhood', mutual support is certainly a positive aspect, however the tendency to suppress whistleblowing is anything but positive. This may or may not be an issue in the mexican states but it most definitely is in Queensland, as at least a dozen ex-cop associates have confirmed.

P,

While TA is qualified in Law, (and economics) he never worked as a lawyer.

In spite of the non stop campaign against him, he is still more popular than Juliar. Your earlier assertion that only 2% of people will vote for him is delusion, as within the liberal voters he is the most popular. His unpopularity is mostly within the rabid left who wouldn't vote liberal anyway.

Shadow Minister - Your earlier assertion that only 2% of people will vote for him

Huh ??

I think you might be confused with a line about the Woodpecker being preferable at 'only' 99.8% crook & the RAbbott 99.9% crook. Mind those figures were borrowed from someone whose ID I forget although they bear no relationship whatever to how many will vote for one or the other.

The PIC has recommended charges be laid against police for assault, affray and perjury, in relation to the death of Roberto Curti yet not a single officer has been suspended from duty.
The Greens spokesperson on police matters in NSW, David Shoebridge, had this to say;
“The reports as to wrongful use of weapons, assault, affray and perjury go to the very heart of policing in NSW and, if nothing is done, public confidence in the NSW Police will be eroded.
“Both the Police Minister and the Commissioner have a responsibility to ensure the public have confidence that the police they meet in the street are above reproach.
“Police investigating police increasingly undermines the public’s trust in the police.
“The Greens continue to call for an independent investigation to be triggered every time the police are involved in the death or serious injury of a member of the public,”
I could not agree more with David Shoebridge on this. Action is needed now!

You've covered most of the critical items. The public DO have the right to a completely squeaky clean police service, police investigating police just isn't on, and there have been more than sufficient questionable incidents to warrant a truly independent investigation.

P,

I appear to have attributed the 2% comment to the wrong person, However, your lack of comment on the Lawyer issue I take as acceptance of your error.
