Why didn't the Police Shoot Him?

Wow ! I am genuinely surprised at all the experts who are on Hot Copper . Experts in firing small arms in a crowded public area at a moving target . Experts at tactical vehicle manouvres , tyre spike deployment etc .

If only the police had followed this forum we'd all be saved .

But seriously , it is an absolute tragedy . Can you imagine how those police feel about it ? Do people really think that the police weren't trying to do their best in this incredibly dynamic situation where anything could have happened ?
Regardless of the outcome they will always be criticised .

The underlying issue here is drug use . Don't blame the cops . Mostly they are only there to clean up the mess . The problem needs to be sorted before it gets to this point .

Lobby your local member . Use your vote . Demand change . Maybe we need some stronger political leadership ? If you don't ask for it you won't get it .

Blind Freddie can see where the problem lies and its completely at the Govt feet!!
The GO SOFT ON CRIME--has not worked,the justice system is a joke with criminals always the victim.
The complete cover up regarding the Nationality of criminals always being with-helded--only inflames the situation,the Govt(VIC) THINK THE PLEBS ARE ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN. Released back into the innocent public to strike again--sound familiar. When caught and threatened with deportation--they claim it will be dangerous back in their own country,yet the Govt in Vic have no problems putting the citizen here in the same boat!!
I am sick to death of the laying of flowers and candles for the deceased,when all this could have been avoided.Australia has a guide anything that happens in England hit here 10 yrs later.
Blind Freddie could see this coming yet not our left wing loving pollie`s.
They come out and say we are stronger than this(politicain`s) after they
allow criminals a free pass and Mc Donald voucher to continue on there crime spree.
If Victorian vote this clown back in their will be multiple more deaths in Victoria,I did not call it an accident as it was deliberate and brought upon us by the weak actions of the Govt to combat crime! Multiculturalism of certain groups (we all know who they are!),yet Govt by hiding the reporting of them doing the crimes has allowed it to get worse. This Govt has created the problem and is in no hurry to fix it!!
More police for revenue raising as the victims mount up!1
