    How the heck do you escalate a ‘Welfare check’ into a police shooting?

    Is this like an RPG situations where the ‘flee’ command is greyed out for the officers?

    ‘Zero tolerance’, Queensland Police Service once proclaimed.
    … it’s a very weird demonstration of ‘Zero tolerance’.

    My sympathy and empathy for PTSD-in-service starts with ‘Everyone should feel safe to be able to disclose and be certain care and support will be provided during and post-employment.’
    It ends when a person breaches the values and codes of conduct of the Public service.

    PTSD is no excuse for breaches.

    CW: Cyclists and Motorist - Saving a few seconds or causing death/injury?

    Sharing the road with Cyclists (and other road users):

    Motorists,
    you save somewhere between 30 seconds to 5 minutes, rushing past cyclists on the road without care.
    Is the time saved really worth the trauma and criminal sentence?

    Queensland Police,
    The roots of the problem are deep. From recruitment (Valuing brawn over brain and soul); to training and cultural awareness (tick box culture); to mentorship; to organisational structure (separation of duties); to technological controls(data privacy and monitoring); lack of shared mission and vision (philosophy); lack of respect for human rights (ethics over politics); and lack of respect for transparency and accountability (protectionism of police over public).
    Until there is more publicly said about how Queensland Police will change, and reports published of the specific plans,
    … everything that is said so far are akin to hollow promises that a repeat DVA offender says to their former partner(s).
    Queensland Police as a collective have gaslighted and turned a blind eye to the problems for far to long for the public to take an apology on face value.
