FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda SERGEANT Sheree Bissett stood up and made straight for the door of the Coroner’s Court – her face awash with tears.
For nearly five hours over the course of two days, the experienced Campsie police officer had sat without reacting as Adrian Salter gave evidence about the moment when she had shot his son, Adam, as he stood in his Sydney home.
Mr Salter had told the Glebe court that his son was being assisted by ambulance officers after stabbing himself with a knife, when he suddenly struggled free of the medical tubes and wires and lunged to the kitchen sink to retrieve the implement.
In contrast to the statements tendered by Sergeant Bissett and the three other officers at the incident – that Adam Salter had threatened one of them with the knife – Adrian Salter had said his son had been seeking only to harm himself.
”It was quite clear – he had a knife in his throat for heaven’s sake,” Mr Salter said. ”How could anyone believe that he was trying to hurt anyone else?
”To hell with danger, there was a man’s life at stake … my son’s life was at stake. I ran to grab Adam – to help him – but they [police and ambulance officers] didn’t do anything except shoot him.”
It was when Mr Salter read a statement from his daughter, Zarin, about the family’s grief and anger that Sergeant Bissett’s composure cracked.
”Adam had a number of severe stresses which we didn’t realise were affecting him so deeply,” he read. ”The point is that we could have got him professional help.
”We could have helped him to get better so that he wouldn’t have harmed himself any more, if it wasn’t for the lethal gun shot fired by the police officer.”
Sergeant Bissett was not the only one to shed tears in the Coroner’s Court yesterday.
One of the four paramedics who witnessed the November 2009 shooting, Cheri Lutz, broke down during cross examination by the lawyer representing Sergeant Bissett, Les Nicholls.
Mr Nicholls had asked Ms Lutz a series of questions about whether she had spoken to her colleagues about the shooting before giving evidence in the coronial inquiry.
”It was a significant event for us. It would be inhuman not to talk about it,” Ms Lutz said, before she began to cry.
Just before this, she had corroborated Mr Salter’s evidence about his son’s actions before the shooting.
It backed his claim that, not only did Adam Salter make no physical contact with the police, but none of the officers were in his immediate vicinity. ”He made his way to the kitchen sink and got out the knife,” the witness said.
”He started stabbing himself in the throat with the knife. No one was standing near him. He wasn’t moving towards anyone.
”All the time we were yelling for the police to come in from outside. Initially I thought he’d been Tasered, but we realised pretty quickly he’d been shot. I personally didn’t feel to be in danger,” she said.
”Someone stabbing themselves in the throat isn’t a non-dangerous situation, but I personally didn’t feel threatened,” she said. ”I heard someone yell ‘Taser’ in a loud voice and, shortly after that, there was a loud bang,” Ms Lutz said.
The inquest continues.
