NSW police finally start policing
THE new commander of the police taskforce investigating the Cronulla riots has warned that there will be more arrests on both sides of the ethnic divide over the beachside violence and subsequent revenge attacks.
“As a result of the investigation by Strike Force Enoggera, further evidence implicating the persons was uncovered resulting in the arrests,” he said.It’s just a pity the police couldn’t have conducted the raids when events were fresh in peoples minds and with such timing as to suggest it was a police initiative rather than as a result of public and political demands.
Former police officer turned academic Michael Kennedy said the tape should never have been broadcast. Dr Kennedy said it should have been kept under wraps to preserve any evidence for future court hearings.Had the tape been kept under wraps the police would still be ignoring the revenge raid perps and there would be no need to preserve any evidence for unlikely future court hearings. We may be seeing justice applied without favour now but the whole affair leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
