http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-29/byron-bay-officer-who-struck-teenager-with-baton-defends-actions/9602296

quote:

A Byron Bay police officer who struck a naked, drug-affected teenager with a baton 12 times has defended his actions at an inquiry, saying he needed to use multiple strikes to restrain the boy.

...

Mr Adams: "A blow with your baton was not going to restrain him, he was already being restrained by being held down, isn't that right?"

Officer E: "I think it assisted us � those baton strikes were assisting us in relation to holding him down."

Mr Adams: "How? [The strikes] weren't preventing him from using his legs, suing his body, using his arms?"

Officer E: "A number of blows to the leg or the arm can make that limb immobile."

There's no way Turnbull stays a full term in parliament if the Coalition lose the next election.

In the interests of balance, we, the media, completely cave to the right on any issue that doesn't have at least 67% public support to the contrary. We don't want to appear biased.
