FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Statements to the media by NSW police will be scrutinised as part of an official probe into the shooting by an officer of a mentally ill man.
Adam Salter, a 36-year-old web designer and enthusiastic rock climber, was shot in the back by Sergeant Sherree Bissett at close range as he stabbed himself in the throat on November 18, 2009.
The Police Integrity Commission (PIC) has been investigating Mr Salter’s death and the police investigations that followed.
A public hearing will begin on August 27.
Commissioner Bruce James QC said at a preliminary hearing in Sydney on Friday that the scope of the hearing would be extended to include an investigation into situation reports and statements released to the media by the NSW Police Force after the shooting.
The hearings will also focus on whether accounts given by police about Mr Salter’s death were accurate and truthful.
Emergency services were called to the Lakemba home of Mr Salter’s father Adrian Salter in southwestern Sydney after reports that Mr Salter, who had a history of depression, psychosis and schizophrenia, was harming himself.
During the incident, Sgt Bissett, one of four officers at the scene, rushed into the kitchen and yelled, “Taser, Taser, Taser”, before firing the fatal gunshot.
Deputy State Coroner Scott Mitchell in October 2011 found there was “real doubt” the shooting was justified and labelled the police intervention at the home an “utter failure”.
He also said “the investigation was seriously flawed” and a “failure and disgrace”.
Police reports after the shooting were “most unsatisfactory”, “potentially misleading” and contained a “false version of events”, he found.
