Cops always investigate themselves and even when found guilty face no repercussions.

Anyone remember the neurodivergent guy thrown to his lawn by like 4 cops in Melbourne a few years ago! They were made to apologise to him.

The cop who was close to retirement who beat up a prisoner leaving him blooded in his cell in Geelong? He retired peacefully soon after.

Fuck internal investigations, cops should be held up to a community judgement. Let’s see what the people they’re assaulting everyday feel is fair.
