FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Murdoch has conceded police would have been feeling the pressure of a highly charged situation during the police shooting involving teenagers in Kings Cross over the weekend.
Responding to claims of brutality in the arrest of Troy Taylor Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Murdoch said, “Adrenalin is going to be pumping. Very, very difficult in those circumstances to control one’s emotions,”
“We need to view that incident in its entirety in terms of what police did and what they potentially shouldn’t have done.” Murdoch continued.
“However … that is not, I repeat not, an excuse for police not to behave professionally and appropriately. Difficult? Yes. Excuses? No.”
The State Ombudsman will oversee the police internal investigation.
Man faces court over Kings Cross shooting
The only adult who was allegedly in the car that police shot at in Sydney’s Kings Cross on the weekend has faced court.
Police say Matthew Dalton, 24, was very drunk when he got in to the back of a car driven by a 14-year-old in Kings Cross in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Officers fired shots at the car after it hit two women.
The bullets struck the 14-year-old driver in the chest and arm and his 17-year-old passenger in the neck.
The two teenagers remain in hospital in a critical but stable condition.
Matthew Dalton faced Central Local Court this morning charged with take drive conveyance – the offence that relates to being in a stolen car.
His lawyer said she will apply for bail on Friday.
She said she will propose strict conditions that will mean if granted bail he will be virtually on home arrest.
Papers tendered to the court yesterday said Dalton had consumed 20 drinks and had cannabis before getting into the car.
Meanwhile, a family friend of one of the teenagers has expressed concern over footage which appears to show police officers punching one of them, after he was shot.
The New South Wales Greens want the Police Integrity Commission to handle the investigation of the shooting, which is being investigated by a police critical incident team.
Police say the evidence must be examined in its entirety before conclusions are drawn and have repeated their appeals for calm.
Mick Mundine is a family friend of the 14-year-old and a Redfern community spokesman.
He has told The World Today that the footage does not look good.
“I mean it’s you know, it’s just pathetic. I mean it wasn’t very nice, seriously, it looked very bad on the police,” he said.
Mr Mundine says leaders are trying to ease tensions in the community.
“They are very cranky… We’re trying to keep a bit of peace but if nothing comes out of it and we dont get justice, you know it could really blow out of proportion,” he said.
“So we’ve got to make sure that we keep on top of it.”
He has echoed the Greens’ call for the matter to be probed by an independent body.
“I think there should be independent investigation,” he said.
