This reminds me of Academics accusing early explorers of mowing down Aborigines with their guns. Guns that needed to be reloaded whilst 50 Aborigines were throwing several deadly spears each. Makes one wonder what concept some educated people actually have of fairness in deadly conflict. My guess is none !

Oh, my bad, I forgot that they were such peaceful people that called themselves warriors.
Peace warriors perhaps ? Possible !

Foxy,

You've been put in your place; a little knowledge is said to be a dangerous thing but in this case, you are in no danger at all.

Dear o sung wu,

Sorry my friend but Foxy has certainly has a valid point.

Police officers in NSW currently have a single day's training in dealing with mentally ill persons. There is a four day course but this is optional and at the time of the killing of Courtney Topic last year only 2,500 officers had opted to take it.

Courtney was shot within 41 seconds of police arriving at the scene. None of those attending had received the extended training.

The coronor found “police tactics were “entirely inappropriate” and her death exposed a “compelling need for change” in the way police dealt with mentally ill people.”

“She recommended NSW Police consider making the four-day training mandatory for more officers, or that if it is clear that a person is suffering a mental health episode, those with the four-day training be prioritised for dispatch.”

I think there is a reasonable case to be made that if this incident had happened in the UK then this woman would likely still be alive.

I certainly respect your experience in this matter but I find the coroner's findings compelling. I would need to hear from you a solid case as to why they should be dismissed before I would think about altering that view.

Is Mise,

They say that a little knowledge or a
little learning is a dangerous thing,
but it's not half as bad as a lot
of ignorance.

As for putting me in my place?
Nah. to quote Abe Lincoln,
"I always make sure that my feet are
in the right place, then I stand firm!"

0 SUNG WO you know we all do police are not issued with halos on getting the job
Some should not be in the uniform
However not one should face danger unarmed ever
We know little if anything about this death. let us all hope the honest truth comes out
