FOUR police officers caught on video beating a disoriented teenager in Byron Bay as he screams for help will be subject to a public hearing looking to investigate misconduct.
CCTV footage aired on A Current Affair showed shocking vision of a 16-year-old schoolboy with no clothes on being held down by officers, sworn at and struck with a baton in a northern NSW street in the early hours of January 11 this year.
The violent confrontation was aired on national television not long after the incident, causing outrage in the local community and shining a light on police brutality.
Something tells me there is more to the story here.
There probably is, but nothing really precipitates that sort of beating (on a teenaged boy) by Police. Their job is to apprehend, not dole out punishment. I smell a multi-million dollar settlement coming.
