Rowan did a reasonable summary... an important but highly relevant omisson though...

In addition, there was recently a 'mating of elephants¹' proceedure over the unwillingnes of the Qld Dept of Public Prosecutions to charge a Policeman who had the unfortunate luck to have a member of a particular ethnic group - different from his opwn - die while in Police Custody - the Offical Spokesman of the Police Union was even charged with Contempt of Court (but had no conviction recorded! - is THAT special treatment or what?!!) over his public comments on his belief that the Coroner was biased against the Police!

After a big fuss where a retired judge from another state recommended that the Officer be charged, the trial recently found him not guilty of murder/manslaughter/assault. The 'victim' had been hit so hard that his liver was severed in two - allegedly caused by the policeman falling on the drunk while struggling with him in the cells...


¹ Done at a high level, with lots of loud noise and much trampling of whatever is underfoot - including Civil Rights, etc
