Uh huh.
I remember my dad telling me stories of when he was young and got busted by the cops in Geelong all the time for being a smart ****, they put a fire hose on him, put him in a wardrobe and chucked it down some stairs, gave him a good flogging with a baton, took him home to his father who they knew would sort the problem. Now they have to have permission to do anything, no more can they trust their gut instinct, they have to abide by written rules that cant exactly help in many very different situations.
I don't understand how anyone could even think about assaulting a police officer (or any Joe Blo for that matter), I **** myself when they pull me over just for a license check lol they have a gun, I sure as hell aint going to give them a chance to use it.
It's sad, its getting more dangerous for them in society yet their rules are getting tougher, our cops should be like the ones in the USA (yeah I watch too much TV) they should be allowed to draw their weapon AS THEY see fit, they are the ones putting their life on the line, they are the ones who are in that situation not the person who decided what they can and cant do.
