Police in this country have a long history of being biased against kids from an indigenous/ethnic background.
Meanwhile they kept dropping the ball on the real dangerous thugs in our society over the years you know the Peter Dupas, Adrian Bayley types, Anglo Adult Serial Killers and Rapist types
I am not saying the Police Officers are ccollectively racist, I certainly think an argument can be made that accusations that several (not all, definitely not a majority) of them being corrupt and dumb as dog **** are justified.
I once dated a girl 20 years ago whose step dad was a retired Police officer who as on the beat for over 30 years who had damming words about Neil Comrie (a totally corrupt and contemptible bastard) and very kind and strong praise for Cynthia Nixon who did her very best to stamp out corruption in Victoria Police. She was never hated or publicly roasted by the Police Union or being a woman or supposedly being soft on crime, Nixon tried her best to weed out all the corrupt and criminal police officers in Victoria.
I personally think we need a lot more female and people from non Anglo-Saxon backgrounds in our Police forces.
The amount of Indigenous/Aboriginal deaths in custody (past and present) is our biggest national shame and embarrassment.
And yes our police force need to be held accountable for that
