WA police officers face stand-down

Two Western Australia police officers are facing a stand-down after allegations described as unthinkable. The SMH reported calls for the WA officer to be placed on stand-down. A bodycam clip shows an officer with a patch that says Fold c***s. The Courier Mail reported the image.

In separate court proceedings, sentences were shortened for officers found guilty of assaulting a woman. ABC News said family members were heartbroken. The decision prompted anger from the victim's family members. ACT Policing ran a three-day retail-crime operation. Police charged a teenager after a pursuit in Revesby.

“The decision prompted anger from the victim's family members,” — Chloe Radcliffe, contributing analyst at Elmburn Ford Staffing, added during the briefing.
