Survey highlights mental stress of policing

The survey by the University of South Australia also shows another 11 per cent are heading towards psychological harm.

I had a feeling this mioght be an issue since I had a run in with an off duty police officer whom was scared by my car making a little fanbelt noise then decided to try bullying me and eventually assaulted me.

This issue is currently being dealt with so the headline from this story was no surprise given the officers behaviour.

'Best dressed' woman bitten by snake at races

What a way to end a day at the races, being bitten by a snake while being involved in a fashion parade. I wonder if this was some sort of critique of the judges taste by the snake.

Chris Wilson, 23, was killed in February 2004, two days after telling police he had been shot in the leg by the man who later murdered him.

Senior Constable Michael Redding had a bad day at work and gets to go home to his family while Chris Wilson does not.

If you or I was negligent at work and the result of that was someone's death we wouldn’t just be reprimanded by our company, we would have to explain our actions to the public through a court hearing. Why is it that Redding only had to explain his actions to a Police Disciplinary Tribunal and not the public.

Furthermore why did it take 4 years for this to come to a conclusion?

The people of South Australia and all states should expect our police to be held accountable for their actions or lack of.
