There's absolutely never any need for the police to restrain someone for shop lifting.
Those cops murdered that boy.
Fuck them. I hope they die lonely and afraid.

The last paragraph of my essay:
Ultimately, while initiatives such as the ASD signal an intent to improve policing practises, we must recognise that no amount of reform will fix the problems of a system built to further colonisation. If we want to engage in working for true justice that prioritises Indigenous autonomy, equality and cultural integrity, we need to look to the complete abolition of policing and prisons, for, as Kendrick Lamar (2024) states "..you not a colleague, you a fucking coloniser"

NSW to review law that presumes children under 14 are incapable of evil
After a 2016 high court ruling, the conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted in NSW, report finds
In 2016, a high court ruling clarified doli incapax, resulting in prosecutors needing to prove the child understood they were seriously wrong when committing a crime. Since then, conviction rates of children aged 10 to 13 have plummeted.
A NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (Bocsar) report found the proportion of 10- to 13-year-olds with a proven outcome – guilty or not guilty – in the NSW children’s court tumbled from 76% in 2015-16 to 16% in 2022-23.
The prosecution withdrew charges in more than half of all cases in 2022-23, with similar patterns in Victoria and South Australia.

I posted in the local Facebook group to warn people that the cops are sitting on a road near here just where the speed limit drops from 100km to 50km (with almost no notice).
In response people are tagging Chifley Police District.
It's fascinating that Australians will have Ned Kelly profile pics and go on and on about being from "good convict stock", and then suck pig dick like a cops balls are filled with oxygen.

Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice
‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

More than 90% of people caught with small amounts of illicit drugs criminalised in NSW despite diversion reforms
A New South Wales government program that gives police discretion to divert people found with small quantities of illicit drugs away from the courts has only been extended to 6.9% of people caught, including just 2.6% of those who are Indigenous.

[white men's opinions not wanted]
About 5 years ago one of my lecturers set up a meeting for me with an academic who had just started working at my university.
He was a criminological researcher doing a big project on sex workers, and she (my lecturer) thought we'd get along academically and I might possibly be interested in him as my eventual phd supervisor or something..
We had a chat over the course of about an hour, mostly about his research, but he asked at one point what I was thinking with regards to a phd topic.
At the time I was interested in looking at the incidence of sexual abuse within the police force, so I set out my argument to him:
We know that there is a much higher incidence of domestic violence perpetrated by police against their partners and kids.
We know that people reporting DV aren't taken seriously by the police they're reporting to, often to the extent where they are given misinformation like 'we can't act unless he actually *does* something'.
We know that people reporting sexual assault are often not taken seriously as well,and are often given misinformation like 'rape is actually really hard to prove, are you sure you want to report this?'.
...i wonder if there is a higher incidence of people with a history of perpetuating sexual assault in the police force?
...i wonder if they commit those assaults while in the police force, or if the job attracts people with that history?
Using the questionnaire from the Lisek & Miller study and the McWhorter study, I could survey students in a number of different fields and see if there is a higher number of people doing policing who self-report having used these rape-behaviors.
I could also do a follow up on the same students (although I'm not sure how because having the study not be anonymous would confound results) to see if their responses change after being in the police force for a number of years.
..he just looked at me and said that he doubted there was a higher incidence of DV perpetuated by police, and that he was certain that the reports that happened are angry partners targeting those cops with vexatious reports because they know it'll have big consequences for their careers.. and shut down the entire conversation immediately.
He's a critical criminologist, and wasn't interested in even having the slightest bit of curiosity about police being violent.

"When she reported to police that he would repeatedly call her and hang up – an action she felt breached the apprehended domestic violence order she had taken out against him – she says an officer told her she was being a “vexatious ex-spouse” who was trying to cause trouble."

I just got into an argument with a shopping centre security guard because he was trying to kick a houseless person out of the shopping centre. This person seemed semi-conscious and wasn't responding to his demands to leave, so the security guard kept saying he was going to call the cops.
I asked if he'd thought of calling an ambulance, because it seemed like a medical emergency to me (me, who was a nurse for a long fucking time..), and the security guard just said that it was "obviously drugs".
Turns out when the paramedics got there the guy had a blood sugar of 1.4mmol/L (which is like 25mg/dl for the US folks).
The security guard was all like "well how was I supposed to know??"
I mean, someone who is houseless having a medical crisis from a chronic condition that needs access to specialist management and regular food?? I'm fucking shocked. Who would ever have guessed?! 🙄

Put them in a coffin’: could debate over Queensland’s ‘youth crime crisis’ take a dangerous turn?
While data suggests youth crime rates are at near-record lows, it’s become a totemic issue in the election campaign and that has Indigenous academics worried
