Paul,

"Report after report is now coming in of police instigated violent behaviour against innocent members of the public..."

A reference or two would be a courtesy so that people can look up these "Report after report...".

Is Mise - Ask and you shall receive.

A violent crime, a brutal police response

It begins with a barrage of blows from a policeman to the head, neck and back of a young Sudanese-born Melbourne man.

Seven heavy punches land from the officer’s right fist and then, when his arm appears to tire, the policeman swaps to the left and lands two more.

Then he stands up. With his colleague still kneeling on the young man’s torso as he lies face down on tiles, the officer lines up the man’s head like a soccer ball. He kicks it, hard.

The CCTV vision of this 2016 arrest in the back of a Preston chemist shop has been uncovered by The Age as part of an ongoing investigation into the Victoria Police complaint system and which has included other disturbing CCTV vision and cases.

But personally the way these Sudanese have been bashing people and always in gangs of many onto usually one I have no sympathy on this low lifer.
They have terrorized Victoria and Queensland for too long, payback is a bitch.

And another one.

A video of a third incident was released on Wednesday of an officer throwing a young, drunk man - who is handcuffed - into a metal door before another kicks him as he lays on the floor of a Bendigo police station in March 2015.

Philip,

That's four in three years, not the numbers conjured up by "report after report", although they are, in fact, report after report; it's just that there is a long time between the reports.

Another aspect might be the percentage of arrests that are violent but in which the violence is unnecessary.

Is Mise - What is your point, I never said there were lots of reports.

Is Mise, try this for evidence;

"A Melbourne law firm is advising its clients not to make a complaint about Victoria Police to the state's anti-corruption watchdog.
One reason, lawyer Jeremy King told a parliamentary inquiry on Monday, is because more than 90 per cent of complaints made to the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission were handed back to police to investigate."

The law firm representing "John" in the recent well publicized police bashing, said on 'A Current Affair' last evening it has no less that 200 outstanding cases (the firm specializes in this type of action) on its books relating to police behaviour. They also said since the airing of the "John" bashing a number of police officer who do not want to be named for obvious reasons, made statements about other incidences of police violence they were aware of.

The vast majority of our police officers are fine upstanding people, who uphold the law. and do the right thing. However if you are such an officer and want to kiss your career goodbye simply make a complaint about a rough copper to the hierarchy within, and its goodbye job!

Issy, its one reason why I like you, you are the only one of the 'Usual Suspects' to at least return and post on this thread after the disgusting airing of the "John" case. Where are the DD's JB's OSU etc now....GONE!
