Philip,

No, you didn't, but as you were responding to my observation about Pauls post...

Paul,

Thank you for the clarification, I wasn't aware of the law firms claims and as I don't watch"a Current Affair" I didn't know of this development.

Four Victoria Police officers suspended over alleged brutality.

Head of Professional Standards Command, Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius, took the action on Friday after CCTV footage of the incidents was made public earlier in the week.

Three officers have been suspended over a September 2017 incident in which a disability pensioner was pinned down, beaten with a baton, capsicum sprayed, then hosed down in his Preston front yard.

Another officer has been suspended over the treatment of a man who held up a Preston pharmacy in February 2016 and was kicked and stomped on while handcuffed.

A fifth officer has been reassigned after a March 2015 incident at Bendigo, where an arrested man was thrown into a metal door at the police station.

Reading the transcript of evidence put before the LECC investigating the Byron Bay incident, and the methodical questioning of those involved by Council assisting, Mr Rowles, I would say that its not looking good for the coppers involved. Particularly for Officer E. But police seem to live a charmed life when it comes to being investigated for misconduct.

As one who has been rather critical of police heavy handedness with their excessive and unnecessary use of force, even ruffling a few feathers with a bit of colourful language, for that I apologise particularly to o sung wu, but I stand by the content of those comments.
I also think its appropriate to heap some praise on police, when unfortunately they have to resort to justified violence in the execution of their duty. Such an incident took place on a crowded Sydney public bus yesterday afternoon. The ABC report shows to my satisfaction that the police involved acted appropriately by tasering this person, and then arresting him.

p/s One of my sons is a pubic bus driver in Sydney, and he can commiserate with the driver involved. Bad behaviour by passengers is not uncommon.
