Pulling police into line

And still it goes on (Marcia Langton, “Tough on crime fighters”, April 14–20). There is a strong case for a royal commission into police brutality. Justice is not being done in this country. We have a long record of injustice which I do not want to see perpetuated for anyone. Consider the scenes televised at the Commonwealth Games this week. Wasn’t that police brutality? What’s the full story there? I don’t want to live in an impending police state endorsed by self-seeking politicians.
