793439 2009-07-20 21:17:00 They had been drinking, probably not acting in a calm manner, more to this story than what the maoris have said. prefect (6291)
793440 2009-07-20 21:34:00 They had been drinking, probably not acting in a calm manner,

Are you referring to the Gold Coast cops? They are getting a bad reputation for this sort of thing. Another case

"THE Queensland Police Service is facing a million-dollar civil lawsuit over alleged brutality in the bashing of three tourists by a former officer.

Families of the alleged victims plan to file a joint civil damages claim against the Queensland Police Service alleging excessive force and a breach in duty of care."

793442 2009-07-20 21:50:00 SWMBO and I first went to the Gold Coast in '87. I have a cousin who had been there for 20 years at the time (a respectable builder) and his comment when we met him there was.....
"Never talk to the cops, even to ask directions. Queensland cops are very corrupt - always on the take. A bit like politicians"

If you have been drinking and in a public space best thing is to keep your trap shut and dont do anything stupid.
Cops get sick and tired dealing with drunks, only thing sometimes to bring non calm drunks to their senses is a smack in the head.

793444 2009-07-20 22:02:00 I saw a few people smashed unconscious by the cops on the Gold coast, You would be a moron to approach them or interfere. Metla (12)
793445 2009-07-20 23:14:00 As others have said the Queensland police are pretty corrupt.
There are better ways dealing with drunks, rather than kicking them in the head.

793446 2009-07-21 02:14:00 Not sure after those royal commissions this is still the case in NSW and Queensland.
Drunks imo should lose their civil rights whilst still pissed and obnoxious.
Need to wait and see but my money is on the maoris aggravating the situation.
