The Law Australian Police brutality thread.

Seriously, do you know what a steak knife is for?
To cut flesh, it’s in the name ffs.

I think you’re confused with a butter knife.

You're scared of a 95 yo women who moves slowly with a walking frame. Pathetic. Any bs story to protect your police friends.

There's some real right wing nuts on this thread.

Why do you intentionally keep leaving out the part about her holding a knife in a threatening manner and maniacally screaming that she was going to stab someone with it?

There's only 3 people in the world trying to justify this and they're all on this thread.
Don't ever work in a nursing home, you'll end up attacking dementia patients.

Why respond to my question at all if you’re just going to deflect away from it?

And who are you, why do you think you’re always right?

If this is the case why are the police reluctant to release the camera footage of the incident?

Are you scared of an old lady movimg at 2 km per hour with a walking frame?
Is there something wrong with you. You can't close a door and wait?
You're a bit mixed up in the noggin. Don't work with elderly people , you're not mentally fit to.

I don’t know if it’s the case, it’s a response to all the other bullshit and assumption being thrown around ITT.

See exhibit A below.

In lieu of the bodycam footage.

I watched NSW Commissioner Karen Webb say she wouldn't be viewing the police body-cam footage of the incident. It seemed like a strange thing to say.

This could all be cleared up if that video was released.

Yeah I haven’t seen it but it’s irrelevant to what I’ve been saying.

I doubt it’s necessary and everything will probably be sorted out by Monday.

Classic police behaviour.

 

[Boston tiger]

Look out HAPPY CHEFFY , she's coming to get you, quick get your taser out before she kills everyone.
Call the army for back up asap.

You have worked in these places. Are you surprised they called the police? Why didn’t the staff just shut her in etc . Surely it must have been an emergency situation. Or were the staff just following procedure etc

 

[DickieKnee]

Why do you intentionally keep leaving out the part about her holding a knife in a threatening manner and maniacally screaming that she was going to stab someone with it?

Why won't they release the body cam footage?

 

[Boston tiger]

Wouldn't phase me, doubt she could inflict more than a scratch.

So do you break her arm when you grab her . Does she hit her head she falls. It’s just a crap situation. With out being too dramatic
“
Rupture of the carotid arteries, which provide blood supply to the head and neck, results in massive haemorrhage leading to death within a matter of minutes in 33% of cases. Those who survive are frequently left handicapped.”

 

[HAPPY CHEFFY]

Why won't they release the body cam footage?

Beats me, perhaps no one has used the magic word yet.

 

[Kurve]

Why won't they release the body cam footage?

It's a homicide investigation, they won't release the footage to the public and if she dies probably never will. imo.

With a walking frame.

Reports are she holding a knife, and walking with a frame, in a room by herself, with officers in the door way.

And she’s 95. 43kg.

 

[Gough]

You'd think the police commissioner might want to take a look though. These are people acting on her watch, which she's very well renumerated for and she can't bring herself to look at what they've done. Perhaps this sort of leadership is what's brought us to even be talking about this in the first place.

So if that’s all true it’s a mystery why police were even called in the first place. Obviously there’s more to it to require police involvement.

 

[cartwright]

Pretty weak example of police brutality. If the police officer was following sop, he did the right thing.

Police rules for taser use say they should not be used on an elderly or disabled subject, or a subject of particularly small body mass, unless exceptional circumstances exist.

Exceptional circumstances are defined under the procedures as “circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to believe that prompt and unusual action is necessary to prevent actual bodily harm to self or others”.


^ from smh article.
If she’s in a room, why not back away close the door.

 

[Gough]

Perhaps the officers involved could come forward and publicly state their version of events so we could clear that up.

Because she was walking around with the knife for sometime.

She was alone in a “small, confined-space” medical treatment room, with the police officers standing in the doorway, when she began to move towards them, he said.

I just find it strange that staff couldn’t handle it and needed to call for armed reinforcement.

 

[Kurve]

I’d be more worried about getting slashed or stabbed than what may happen to someone waving a knife at me.

I'd have expected staff caring for dementia patients would have been able to handle her in the first place, really that's what they're trained for but if they called the cops '95yo dementia patient waving a knife around' they should have been wearing stab vests.

An elder I was visiting recently was waving his walking stick around ranting and tipping things over, when I asked him to settle down he came at me with it. He's 70yo, wobbly but taller and heavier than me, I had it off him in seconds no injuries.
