when a person is beaten until his liver is split and his ribs broken…
and no help is offered…
and he lays down, his cries for help are ignored, and he dies… in a prison cell, away from those he loves;
whilst he has officers of justice “responsible” for his CARE and wellbeing in attendance;
and i think about the pain he needlessly suffered.

It becomes stark and clear that SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

WHY IS THIS POLICE OFFICER NOT STOOD DOWN, why does he still work in our system of “Justice”?

WHY HAS HE NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDER!

Genocide, on our shores, now, today.

Please, Mr Beatie… you are the elected “Representative” of your people.

DO SOMETHING NOW!

or hang your head in SHAME!

Beattie calls for calm after Palm Report.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie has urged all parties to “cool it” as he seeks to quell the public furore following a coroner’s findings into an indigenous man’s death in custody.

Indigenous leaders and the member for Townsville, Mike Reynolds, have criticised police commissioner Bob Atkinson’s decision not to stand down the officer at the centre of the storm, Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley.

The state’s police union, meanwhile, has attacked deputy state coroner Christine Clements’ controversial findings on the death of Mulrunji Doomadgee, accusing her of having an anti-police agenda.

But Mr Beattie on Friday called on both sides to exercise restraint.

“It is absolutely essential that we all moderate our comments in relation to these matters, particularly in respect of the coroner, until we see what the director of public prosecutions is going to say,” he said.

“I think everyone should just cool it, let due process take its course.”

Ms Clements ruled on Wednesday that Sgt Hurley was responsible for the death of Mr Mulrunji in the Palm Island watchhouse in November 2004.

She found Sgt Hurley had punched Mr Mulrunji, causing fatal injuries and ruled his arrest, for drunk and disorderly, was unnecessary.

However, she did not publicly recommend charges against the officer, instead referring the matter to the Director of Public prosecutions whose office is considering the matter.

Mr Atkins removed Sgt Hurley from operational police duties but kept him on the payroll in a plain-clothes desk job.

Mr Beattie said the government would be implement most of the 40 recommendations made by Ms Clements.

But he said the government could not ensure watchhouses in remote centres were monitored around the clock and had no plans to decriminalise public drunkenness.

The first suggestion was unworkable, while the second was not in the public interest, Mr Beattie said.

“If you are drunk and you are disrupting the community then frankly, you have breached what I believe to be sensible standards … I do not believe that the rest of the community should be disrupted by drunks,” he said.

“It would mean that if you were sitting (at) an outside cafe or you were sitting in a restaurant on the footpath you could be harassed by drunks.

“Frankly, I don’t want to see that happen and we are not going to change the law.”
