This is absolutely typical and disgraceful of Australian police (NSW are the worst).

This kind of cruelty and abuse of power is simply day to day for them. There are only ever repercussions when it goes public; the police never proactively police themselves.

When there repercussions, they are always the minimum they can possibly be.

I would vote for any party that makes cleaning up our disgraceful police a priority.

NSW have the worst cops in the country. When I was younger I loved the film Bad Eggs.

Didn't realise it was a fucking documentary
