Less than a month ago I started a thread with this;
"I can’t understand how officers of the NSW police force have not been suspended from duty after being adversely named in Coronial and Ombudsman reports, and now recommended for criminal charges by the Police Integrity Commission, in regards to the death of Roberto Curti."
Unfortunately another sad case has hit the headlines. Now police officers, not one but seven have been found to have lied before the police Integrity Commission over the tragic police shooting of Adam Salter.
Greens NSW MP David Shoebridge had this to say;
“This report is utterly damning of the police involvement in the death of Mr Salter from beginning to end, with findings of perjury, the production of knowingly false reports and grossly misleading police media statements."
“Like the recent reports into police involvement in the death of Roberto Curti from multiple Taserings, these highly critical findings into the death of Adam Salter demand action from Police Minister Michael Gallacher."
David is spot on with his call for action. Police must stop investigating police. The police internal review was found to have uncritically accepted the evidence of the police officers involved, whilst disregarding the evidence of the civilian witnesses on the critical factual issue of how Mr Salter came to be shot dead by police. As at this minute all police officers involved are still active members of the NSW police. To install a semblance of public confidence in NSW police a single statutory body to oversight all critical incident investigations involving police use of force must be established, and it must be eztablished now.

Paul show me a police force, in any country in the world that has not got bad eggs.
Show me one that is not suffering from that few who are in the job for the wrong reasons.
No defense these you talk of are criminals using the group culture to cover wrong.
You will find mostly, other police let light in on the few.

I, along with most of my contemporaries, would never have joined the NSW Police Force if I thought for one moment every word I spoke or attested to would not be treated as God's own truth.
The two most important points drilled into you in inductive training is that "when there are two or more police gathered together there is truth" and second "the force, and the union, will always back you up provided you back them up".
May the "Force" be with you.

As they are in Qld N.S.W are absolutely corrupt police force without any doubt. I think all police are corrupt but some are Ok with being caught for speeding. A cop let me of once even because I was speeding. But they are very corrupt most of them. In N.S.W. 7 of them killed a man from South America because they say he was shop lifting which was rubbish said the Courts.

Corruption is king...just look at the federal Parliament.

Are we over looking the facts.
It was the police integrity branch that put this latest even on our TV news.
Yes some are grubs.
But the system works.
Now more than ever it improve every day.
ICAC and I got together 25 years ago.
A chief inspector of police in asking a group to give evidence, against police, told us it is the few older not the young who blacken the whole.
Never gave evidence it pays not to, but in time most crashed and burnt in to the arms of that bloke.
