Oh, I agree with you. Once she refused to do this and that, All bets were off ( and that’s why I posted the clarification. It was only the ‘dragged out by the legs’ I was left wondering about.
The Vic Police are having a bad trot - I suspect the stress of the current situation is affecting some of them as much as anyone:
A father-of-three has been placed in an induced coma after vision emerged of Victoria Police officers striking him with a car before they pinned him down and kicked his head.
The arrest of Timothy Atkins, 32, on Sunday in the north Melbourne suburb of Epping has been referred to Victoria Police Professional Standards Command after vision of the violent incident emerged on social media.
Mr Atkins father Glenn Atkins labelled the incident “police brutality” and said his son, who was being treated for bipolar disorder at Northern Hospital, has been placed in an induced coma.
...
In vision of the arrest obtained by Channel 7, Victoria Police drive behind an on foot Timothy Atkins before striking him with the vehicle.
At least four officers surround Mr Atkins before they hold him down and begin kicking him, with one officer stomping on his head.
Must give the police side:
“Upon arrival the male allegedly became aggressive and damaged a police vehicle while attempting to avoid arrest,” she said.
“During the highly dynamic incident a police officer was assaulted and OC spray was deployed before the 32-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested and subsequently taken to hospital for assessment.”
I wonder if the damage to the police car was the front fender? Terrible times.
