Punching him in the head?? where did you hear that?

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

The 20-year-old man, from Albion north of the CBD, has been charged with two counts of serious assault on a police officer, one count

of common assault, one count of stealing and one count of enter premises, Nine News reported.The 18-year-old woman, also from

Albion, was charged with one count of enter premises, one count of stealing, one count of serious assault on a police officer and one

count of hindering police."

Both were arrested after the police had to chase them...... they have both been charged for assaulting the police.  Good.

yes. and that is what they did.  attended a situation where

the aggressive thief needed to be restrained in order to be handcuffed.

if one officer attempted it, chances are both the aggressive offender 

and the officer would sustain a serious injury in the process.

that is why police work in pairs at the minimum.   to handle such

 situations as effectively and safely as possible for all involved.

'alleged'  thief.    Or has everyone forgotten our justice system?

Innocent until proven guilty.                       Just sayin'
