    An internal police investigation, overseen by the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission, found the force was lawful and reasonable.

    We investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong. Again. Fuck the QPS, I’ve seen batons used.

    They should have beaten him more, it is scientifically proven that beating people with sticks increases their pride in society and causes them to not become more disenfranchised. (/s)

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    It comes as the ABC has obtained an internal audit of watch houses, showing that as early as 2019 the Ethical Standards Unit had warned the Queensland Police Service (QPS) about “inconsistencies and deficiencies” relating to “human rights considerations”.

    An audit seen by the ABC shows QPS’s own Ethical Standards Unit warned in 2019 about “inconsistencies and deficiencies” in relation to human rights issues and the “construction and design of watch houses”.

    The extraordinary report identified several key issues including “an unclear orientation to upholding the human rights of prisoners and to preventing cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment”.

    The audit found 81 per cent of watch houses “do not have processes in place to ensure prisoners are protected from torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment”.

    Katherine Hayes, CEO of the Youth Advocacy Centre, is providing legal representation to the teen in the 7.30 footage, and said she remains concerned about the “very high numbers of children” in watch houses.

    “Not only are these basic needs not being met but we have numerous reports of mistreatment at the hands of watch house officers over the last 12 months, including using access to blankets and food as behaviour management tools.”
