Embarrassing NSW Police Officer

[Exotic_Doc]

Can the people condoning this please explain to me, why the man that got belted was NOT charged with any crime , no assault, no resisting arrest nothing nada nope none . What he should have done you ask? Well since he had 6 seccies with him, put cuffs on the guy, walk him out of the venue, and smash him with every charge possible not smash him with fists. You cannot have police assault people, you will turn the country into a war zone with every person dealing with a cop end up in intensive care. Yes the video was played over and over. I dont care, one punch isnt acceptable, let alone 3 or 4 or watever.....When you wear the uniform, you show proffessionalism, you show compassion, you show understanding, if you cant then honestly the force to serve and protect the community is NOT for you.....

 

[dangles]

sickening to say the least. I have mates that are cops and they agree that he should be put up on charges. If the copper was throwing the punches as the guy was resisting, well it is acceptable imo, however he was held down by the other sec's there and the copper had open slather on him. Regardless of where he was punching him it was excessive force imo.

Spending a night in the watch house, going to court and paying a fine is still a deterrent..plus it means that next time he gets arrested he won't assume it's fight time and try for the first shot. Or go looking for payback for the beating he's already taken. It not only gives his colleagues a bad name, it puts them in increased risk as well.

I can't believe the cop had that much of a brain explosion considering it happened at a place that was full of cameras and people.Just goes to show how little self control he actually has.

 

[ChondroAddict]

Python legs i would totally agree with you if you where right but that wasnt the case he was just let go without a single charge. Wheres the lesson in that. I dont agree with violence but one thing is for sure Australia's soft approach to these type off people doesnt work. Why did people have more respect in the days when the cops had more authority.Things need to change even the do gooders of this country must be able to see where going backwards.

 

[PythonLegs]

I didn't say he was charged, I said charging was a more appropriate and effective response than punching him. Nothing 'do-gooder' about wanting the people who make the laws to follow them.

 

[ChondroAddict]

Sorry mate i thought you said he would be walked out to the squad car and arrested. Sorry my bad i must have read it wrong

Fining these sorts of people doesn't work. I go clubbing on a semi regular basis and I see the same thing over and over again, people who think they are heroes get around in packs with their mates and flog people, glass them, stab them etc. These people do it because they know it's highly unlikely that anything will happen to them. I also KNOW people who go out for the soul purpose of flogging people with a group of mates so they have no risk of being picked on themselves.

If the cops had enough spine to flog these a-holes then PERHAPS they'd smarten up and it would happen less. I know a group of people that flogged a couple of guys because they were gay. They went to court and they walked away with nothing. These are the sort of people that need to be taught a lesson, giving them a night in lock up doesn't do ANYTHING.

I've got mates that have spent the night in lock up and they laugh about it (granted my mates haven't been put in lock up for gang bashing people, but if these guys can have a giggle about it what do you think a thug would think of the situation? It's just a place for them to sleep it off), I have people on FB that have pictures up of them abusing cops because they know the cops are virtually powerless.

You guys who think handing out fines or being escorted out of a place without any form of a touch up actually works obviously haven't seen the regularity that these repeat offenders commit these assaults and act like imbeciles. To the bloke that said he was a bouncer, how often are you confronted with a ridiculous amount of people challenging your authority? It would be quite a lot. I bet if you flogged a person who did so, he wouldn't be so keen to come back for round two. Eventually the word would get out that you aren't the bouncer to F with, and people would smarten up at the premises you work at.

My bro is a bouncer on the goldy and I have been to the joints he works at. NO one messes with him. Everyone comes up and shakes his hand or sucks up his ***, a lot of them have said to me "your brother is a machine, no one plays up around him" and similar things, some have told me how he's messed them up, but they deserved it and they have come up and apologised to him the next time they've been there. He commands respect and he gets it. Pretty easy to do when you're 6' 2" 110 kegs and done years of muay thai, lol.

Well said.
A post from facebook..RIP Broken Australia. You went soft on discipline. You went soft on immigration. You went soft on crime. Parents were told 'No you can't smack the kids'. Teachers were prevented from chastising kids in schools. The police couldn't clip a troublemaker round the ear. Kids had rights blah blah blah. Well done Australia. You shall reap what you sow. We have lost a whole generation & turned them into selfish disrespectful thugs! Things need to change!

Both my sons are part of that generation and neither of them are selfish or thugs or disrespectful in fact they are a lot more respectful than the kids of my generation ever were. The younger one is almost 17 and it amazes me how open he is with friends and how unafraid to show emotion he is compared to boys back when I was his age. He respects women, he respects other cultures, he is not homophobic, he defends the underdog, despises bullys etc. Even my friends respect the person he is.

It is the young people condoning police brutality that scare me the most.

Your son is the minority. I go out and see this all the time, I'm not making it up. I'd rather see a trouble making thug get smacked around then him stick a knife into or smash a glass over an innocent persons head. The fight culture is huge these days with the UFC and everyone wants to be hard (don't get me wrong, I love the UFC and MMA, but when it is in a controlled environment between two people who know what they're getting into), they don't realise that running around in a wolfpack assaulting people isn't "hard" though.

 

[KaotikJezta]

No my son is not in the minority at all, you only see what you want to see. All of my sons friends are like him and he has a lot of friends. I live in a pretty ratbag area but most of the ratbags around here are in there mid twenties and over. The expect the older generation always blames the worlds problems on young people but to see people your age doing it is just sad. You sound like some bitter, twisted old man that doesn't understand the younger generation, not someone that is part of that generation. If my sons had that attitude I would be very disappointed and wonder where the hell I went wrong.

 

[waruikazi]

Trent you can't discourage fighting with fighting. It really baffles me that people don't understand that.

If the police use fisty cuffs as a way of policing then alot more people will consider violence as an appropriate action to take against someone who has wronged them.

i actually do Mixed Martial Arts but dont go looking around just flog someone,fair enough some of them a good flogging the way they act but its a reversal thing if we can do it why not cops...if cops can do it why not us.

Mate- ever consider that you hang out with douchebags who don't represent the majority? Bashing people doesn't mean that 'you aren't the bouncer to F with' it means if try hards want to make a name for themselves, you're the target, and if you've been bashed by a bouncer, or police officer, then obviously violence is the way to go.

Bitter Twisted Old Man Hey. Mate when i read your first thread i thought wow what a great young bloke their are still some good ones out there. If every young person thought like you mate this wouldnt even be a topic so hats off to the lucky mum with the perfect boys. Im sure not all young people show disregard but mate im with you defiantly a minority.

I think your quoting the wrong person, if not I am confused. No my sons are not perfect and neither are their friends but who is. Wasn't calling you that either, I was saying KR sounds like that even though he is only 20. I also don't believe my sons are in the minority. There are no end of nice kids out there, it just so happens that it is the not so nice ones that get the attention. No one notices the nice ones because they are not doing stupid things to draw attention to themselves. So I guess that makes it seem like the bad apples are the majority but it doesn't make it true. It also still doesn't give the cops the right to lay into anyone they see fit to, never has. That behavior has always been considered a form of abuse of power, just more people have the guts to speak out about it now and more people catch them doing it on film.

 

[statonb]

im sure youtube had nothing to do with the increase of bashings lol

 

[Red-Ink]

I don't understand... If my mates held somebody down while I laid into him because he was being an idiot I'd get charged. But because it's a cop it's OK and bring back the good ol days?

 

[mungus]

he'll get away with it.
they are a law / body amoung themselves.
i got $150 fine for parking my car facing the wrong side to traffic in front of my house in a extremely quite street.............
Highway patrol was responsible.....
To much time on his hands and needed to get his quota.
I went to the local cop station which is the headquarters for highway patrol in newcastle and spoke to the sargent who had small mans syndrome and didnt give hoot, he was just a smart ****.
I will really help our local police from now on....................really !!!
left a bad taste in my mouth.
If i was the guy being bashed by the copper, id sue his **** off !!!
Ahhhh feel a little better now :|

Don't blame the whole police force as the result of the actions of a single person (or even a number of people for that matter). If the person (victim in this scenario) attacked the police officer, then fair enough, the officer should subdue him. But where the person is clearly already restrained, this constitutes brutality. Don't blame society's problems on the fact that police can't cuff the criminals, blame the parents whose responsibility it is to raise their children up in the proper manner with respect for authority.

I have lived in countries where stuff like this wouldn't even be reported as it is absolutely normal for people to get a flogging from the cops - we lived in constant fear of them as they had absolute authority to do whatever. You'd fear the criminals as much as the cops. I think our Police force is excellent, with the exception of a few idiots (there are bad apples in every profession/society/etc etc).

I do not condone the officer's actions, and he should face the justice system for excessive force/assault - end of story.
