Is what all Victorian police need after the recent murder by some of their finest of that 15 year old boy. For fucks sake, you'd think between 3 of them they could've hit him in the leg or the arm.
I have as much disinterest in the kids of today as the next bloke, but piss-ant little kids waving knives around don't deserve to be gunned down by 3 armed cops. No wonder Nixon is leaving if these are the types of morons she's in charge of. They should all be thrown out of the force if this is how they think minor scuffles should be dealt with.

I'm probably thinking that feralism has a lot to play here. The picture in the paper of the kids after the event, the 'bird' being shown, the general disrespect for society. Something seriously has screwed up since the idyllic days of the 80's when myself and mates of ours, known to the basketball comp, used to just play uno, monopoly, watch wrestling videos and play 10-pin bowling.
The anger, the total disregard for others existance, and this 'up your's mate' attitude displayed by this kid is a symptom of what's gone wrong. And yes, i reckon that whatever his actions to the police, maybe using a long baton or something to crack him over the head or something would have at least saved his life. Use riot shields, water cannon or something that could be better than a gun.
But, in our lives has anyone ever felt the need to do this sort of stuff? He stole the knives hours earlier, he threatened people before the incident, he was an angry young man for hours. What gets into these people's heads?
