Blame the victim - the old fall-back position is still popular with some as is the general lack of compassion for the elderly and infirm, as long as it can be twisted into a sick political stance.

Not many watching that incident would be cheering at the display of excess brutality.

I suppose the two officers felt threatened for their own safety.

No 'compassion' (threadbare word) for the elderly and infirm.

I am older that this old idiot, and I say he has got what was coming for him at last. One minute the jerks are saying that old people should get out of the way, we are past it, nuisances, and so on. Next minute, when there's a political point to be scored, they are slobbering about 'compassion'.

This old goat is just being used by OLO's leading muck raker. It is unlikely that the incident would have got a mention if 'victim' hadn't been Asian.

A much more useful and honourable old person - Squadron Leader Johnson, last of the WW11 Dambusters - died this week at the age of 101. He was a Flight Sergeant at the time, and was among those who protected the West for idiots like Danny Lim and the rest of the ungrateful cranks now infesting it.

ttbn,
This has gone viral with at least 10 pages on Google and Chris Murphy is taking up Danny’s case pro bono.
Watch the news from now on and expect a couple of career changes or at the minimum postings to Bourke or Lightning Ridge.

Lets leave politics out of this. Lets leave ageism out of
this. Excessive force and bad training is at fault here.
The police could have simply escorted Mr Lim out without
hurling him to the floor and causing him serious injury.
He was unarmed and on his own. The situation should have
been handled more professionally. It wasn't.

It seems that policing, like everything else, is based on opinions and polls these days, not the law. I see that Constable Rolfe continues to be pursued and harassed by the media and the Leftist, lawless nutjobs, who probably should hope that they never need police assistance.
