But only three officers from the incident that this thread is about.

 

If you watch the other video on your link, David, about the guy in the chemist,

it's the same police station invoved.

 

Can't tell if they're the same guys though

 

I understand the guy at the chemist was aggressive and scary, but I don't think he needed to be punched, hit with something off the officer's belt or kicked in the head more than once.

 

That officer has been suspended.

Australia should be wary of the rise of the 'warrior cop', with military-style weapons to match

i can undertand an officer being hyped up during an arrest and going beyond whats reasonable force to get the person to comply.

i really do.

 

its what happens when the suspect is no longer a danger, hes handcuffed, on his front on the floor, in the chemist case.

to then do the things that officer did, no excuse.

 

the guy dragged out of his house, again, no excuse for what happened.

 

the guy in the police station, again, no excuse.

 

all officers should be stood down, some suspended some out of a job.

 

and the fact complaints led to no real action, says everything about a broken system.

if these cases didnt warrant any action what hope for lesser crimes.
