Long time ago Paul this 16 year old went from Villawood to St Peters via Redfern by train, worked wheeling bricks
Was much as you say Aunt mums sister raised 13 kids [mostly on her own after their dad died, in Redfern [white family]
So knew a bit about those days
Things got better but in truth much like that right now in some bush towns

There's no need for Police to investigate Police. Police should investigate Coppers !

Paul,

The internal affairs section of the police force is deliberately independent and as such generally feared and loathed by most police.

The point of the IA is to provide people with a deep knowledge of police workings and procedures against which they can provide a reasoned assessment.

I know from your record that you have an antipathy for the police and would simply prefer a lynch mob.

Shadow Minister.

The internal affairs section of police forces has
come under scrutiny. There's been a great deal of
conflict of interest in the provision of material
produced by the NSW police which showed the alleged
investigations were biased - and found not to be
independent, effective or impartial in either their
investigations and their conduct.

This information is available on the web.

SM "(Paul1405) would simply prefer a lynch mob" Where have I said that, another one of your lies. I prefer an independent body at arms length to investigate police in these circumstances. You and your "Nothing to see here mentality" is part of the problem.

True Foxy, many times police internal affairs have been found not to be independent, how could they be? At the end of the day they are "investigating" work colleagues, in colloquial terminology "mates", everyone loves to be loved. Police also hate defence council, judges, do good politicians, liberal thinkers, the accused, witnesses for the defence, juries, etc. In other words they would love to run the whole show themselves. A police state no less, we don't want that, and we can't have that, no matter how much some on here would be in favour of it.

And, the do-gooders tolerate it until it starts affecting them personally.
