NTRabbit: Aug 15, 2012; i wear this armour to protect myself from the histrionics of hysterical women

bitches

The off duty pig who filmed himself stoning a wombat to death was found to have done nothing wrong by an internal investigation and has received no punishment

quote:

Outcome of SAPOL internal investigation

The following is a statement from the Commissioner of Police, Grant Stevens:

Back in early October this year a video was published across a number of social media sites which depicted a man running along a dirt road in front of a vehicle in rural South Australia throwing rocks at a wombat.

The person throwing the rocks was an off duty Senior Community Constable of the South Australia Police. The incident occurred at Gawler Ranges, east of Ceduna.

Within a very short period of time, the footage had been seen by many people across Australia and overseas and it garnered a large number of responses across many social media platforms and internet websites. South Australia Police received an unprecedented number of telephone calls, emails and social media comments demanding a response to this issue. The video is confronting for many people, I found it confronting. I stand by my reaction to the treatment of the wombat.

I still find some of the content of the video disturbing � I take personal displeasure in seeing any animal distressed, or being killed as the wombat was killed. I know many shared in my shock and dismay. I gave a public undertaking there would be a robust and thorough investigation, and that I would provide advice regarding the outcome of that investigation.

As a result a criminal investigation ran in parallel to an internal disciplinary investigation into the actions of the Senior Community Constable as portrayed in the video. I asked investigators to bring together all available information to assess if criminal charges should be laid.

The officer concerned was interviewed; evidence was also collected from other witnesses from South Australian government agencies and animal welfare bodies. Investigations are now complete.

Care was taken to appropriately assess all information obtained to address the overwhelming community concern and to ensure fairness to the officer concerned.

The investigators have ascertained that as a traditional Aboriginal man, the Senior Community Constable has an appropriate permit to hunt wombats for food. Whilst distressing to many who viewed the video, it has been established the Senior Community Constable�s actions were not inconsistent with traditional hunting practices.

I have been advised that the wombat in the video was killed and eaten. The video shown on social media was part of a longer video that has not been released.

An investigation file containing all available evidence was provided to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. It is not unusual for SAPOL to seek the Director�s opinion prior to the laying of criminal charges. It was particularly important to do so in this case due to the complexity of issues surrounding indigenous hunting activities as permitted under legislation.

Legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions was returned to South Australia Police on 5 December. It has been established by the Director that if charges were to be laid, there would be no reasonable prospect of a conviction for any criminal offence.

With regards to the internal investigation, in accordance with the Police Complaints and Discipline Act the Senior Community Constable has been provided managerial advice and counselling regarding the implications of social media, particularly given the responsibilities of his office as a serving member of South Australia Police.

This matter has now been finalised and is complete.

It is clear from the outpouring of emotions that some may question the outcome of this investigation. I can reassure everyone that the most thorough of investigations has been undertaken in this matter.

The Senior Community Constable is well regarded and respected by his colleagues, peers, supervisors, managers and the local community in which he serves. I have confidence in his abilities to perform his current role as a Community Constable.

I ask people to show respect for the process undertaken and accept my assurances it has been a robust investigation. I ask they show respect for those involved in the incident.

In practice disciplinary investigations and outcomes should remain confidential and not publicly disclosed. However given intense interest, and to ensure the public has confidence in the rigour of investigation and the independent assessment of the facts, I have agreed to the release of this information.

Lol if you think this. He's going to win two more elections and then maybe retire and no one will care about the photo or even remember it happened.

People still do not believe climate change is man made, why would that change any time in the future?

Saying climate change being "man made" is the ultimate expression of hubris. It's ridiculous.

i was about to quote this post and just say "yikes", but then i stopped, because i honestly don't know if a cops-molesting-kids joke even counts as yikes material nowadays, with reality in the state that it is in - that is, cops molest kids constantly, in public, they boast about how brave they are for molesting kids to save them from themselves, and not only does nobody seem to care but politicians give statements that they support the cops molesting kids, they love the cops molesting kids, they want the cops to molest as many kids as they possibly can and in fact they wish the cops would molest their kids

This is pretty gross IMO: the AFP press release regarding the new armed cops at airports explicitly identifies the manufacturer of the magical weapons that the cops will be using, basically just like an advertisement:

The PORT members will be equipped with the Daniel Defense Mk 18 SBRs as well as body worn cameras. The SBRs provide a greater strategic scope and accuracy over distance. This capability will allow officers to respond from a greater distance and when combined with rapidly evolving situations, will provide an additional layer of support for first responders.

Come on man. I know we are all still bitter but I watched Bill all the way from birth to death.

He was not that bad and in the final years and months. And honestly the policy he helped develop far outgrew personality politics but Australia isn't ready for that kind of thinking.

I was, you were and we will be again.
