A state report
clears the police of any wrongdoing during the S11 riots, in
which a bunch of reds and ferals got done over, baby-seal style. The report
says that individual rogue police may possibly have been culpable of bashing
protesters, but conveniently enough, they cannot be identified or punished
as they remembered to remove ID badges beforehand. Up here for thinking, mate!
Meanwhile, subversive groups such as the Uniting Church and the Media Arts and
Entertainment Alliance have
reacted with alarm to the report, saying that it is a
"blank cheque for police violence".
