Well all it means now is that police will probarly be alot tougher on those who decide to take a swing or a kick or spit at an officer, and to be honest i dont blame them after reading the sunday times.

I mean none of them want to end up with brain damage and the end off there career so if they have to be tougher on the street good to them because the courts wont do didlly squat.

Karl O'Callaghan furious over attacks on police

The Commissioner and WA Police Union has launched a bi-partisan lobby, calling on the State Government to impose mandatory jail terms on people who occasion bodily harm to public officers. Bodily harm can be as minor as a bruise or a cut

I agree, make life uncomfortable for the *#@%!*â€™s.

the piece of crap that struck the officer going about his lawful duty deserves to die. If I had his address... I wont say anymore (anyone know it?)

Why the hell should police even bother protecting the community if the community couldnt give a stuff about what happens, or doesnt demand tougher action. Who protects the protectors?.

I think all police should start resigning, and lets see how the WA people / government likes it when you cant even get a police officer to attend an urgent job.

Or when the army is walking the streets because the wa cops just say, well the lot of yas.

the article is the sunday times was a real shock , most of the cases only got $500 against them.

i beleive in the saying "an eye for an eye"
but it seems like if a cop does what he needs to stop this from happening its "police brutality" and if he/she doesnt they end up with brain damage.
but at the end of the day a cop wont just run up and taser you in the street for no reason at all, not even if you have commited an offence and
cooperated, they will only do it if they feel as if their in danger, so really if
you get tasered you'r asking for it.

APO (Assault Public Officer) should have a minimum jail term, 12months is enough to make people think about it, then a further $10,000 on top.

Unfortunately here in WA (and I guess most states) the government of the day are pushing that most people be released to summons...

I think the view is, Police are the enforcers not judges, and the government see incarceration as a punishmentâ€¦ sad but I think it will ring true to a few people here.

EDIT - My bad english!

I certainly hope both of you aren't or never become police officers. It would be a sad, sad day if either of you were sworn in with attitudes like that.

Their probably a bit upset...

and there simply expressing their feelings

in a medium where no-one gets hurt..

Strong words but they have no intention of carrying the action..

I hope

Still not very appropriate to threaten physical violence against another person.

Damn keyboard warriors.

Well your right, I am expressing my disgust, anger to like minded individuals (some of them) about the society we live in. Better than reacting like some hot headed fool and doing something I would regret. It just makes me angry to know the only thing I can do about this is whinge on a forum, or send a letter to the local member.

I just wish we lived in a better more respectful society.

Its all our society seems to understand is physical violence these days

if no one can protect you, or you get in trouble for defending yourself.. what hope do we have in trusting the courts to protect us. You tell me a better way other than discussing it, and being a keyboard warrior and I will gladly listen.

As you stated the only way is to raise support and take it to the politicians.

they gave CPR to the POI if i can call him that , and then attended to butcher only because he was semi concious when the man went into cartiac arrest, butcher was attacked through no fault of his own , the poi had a choice ,he got involved and he got taserd , he deserved it , the police officer was portecting every one else there , and not so much themselfs unfortunatly. when i did a senior first aid course i was told , on average it will take 20 mins for an ambulance to arrive, and with the hospital beeing so close i would have taken the officer there in the van displayed on ch7's footage and left the poi for the ambulance, call me narrow minded but
he was the reason for 1) beeing taserd and 2) the officer beeing attacked
and the soloution was coming from osbourne park.
