[QUOTE=ExplosiveCheese;46769905]So there is an anti-police sentiment in Australia as well? Because I see no other "reason" for them to do this.[/QUOTE]
There's no anti police rallies as far as I'm aware. If any mishap happens it goes straight to the corruption watchdog or other areas within state law.
Well that's how it works in Queensland, idk elsewhere
[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;46769871]If that's the case then why didn't they draw their weapons and tell the group of harassers to disperse? Reading the article makes it sound like it wasn't that big of a group, and was probably a bunch of bogans to boot so the sight of a few cops pointing guns at their faces would've made them fuck right out of there.[/QUOTE]
Probably because if they did, the crowd would almost instantly start shouting "Police brutality" along the lines of, "OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THAT? HE POINTED HIS GUN AT ME. AN UNARMED PERSON WITH MY HANDS UP."... That's why. The group is trying to get a rise out of the Emergency crew.
If they want to protest the police, fine whatever, the police have been in a bit of hot water lately but throwing rocks isn't the right answer either. But throwing rocks at the ambulance crew? Fuck off. Now they're just TRYING to get attention and they did.

In a way they were armed since they were throwing rocks, but considering all the bs about police brutality that's been happening lately I see your point. Though on the other hand when a life is on the line like in this case there is no time to be sitting around, and I would consider the police using their weapons to make a bunch of hoodlums GTFO to be justified since time is of the essence when someone is at risk of bleeding out at any moment.
(At the people who threw rocks) Have fun in jail you cunts.
shit this happened really close to me
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46769868]Depends on whether yawmwen has been unbanned recently or not[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=SatoshiAaron;46769865]I wonder if the driver has courage to continue. Train drivers usually quite there job or ask to be demoted to platform staff after causing fatalities with their train.[/QUOTE]
I used to drive train crews to and from depot's/sidings/hotels/ect. One of the engineers told me that it was common for someone to be part of a fatal accident within their first year. Usually at crossings.
[QUOTE=Megadave;46769914]Under any other circumcision, I can't disagree with rock throwing, but throwing rocks at paramedics? What the fuck have they done?[/QUOTE]
my new favorite post. can't wait for this thread to devolve into foreskin or not shit throwing. good stuff
Well, I don't feel bad for anyone dumb enough to lay across tracks and get their legs cut off by a train, but I don't understand the rock throwing at all...unless these people actually were the ones trying to kill said teen? I don't understand otherwise.

How exactly did the severing of the legs happen?

Train must've run them over
Something alike this happened in my neighborhood actually.
But it wasn't police and paramedics, it was the firemen trying to put out a fire they were throwing rocks and bottles at.

You should've told them that Rocks don't put out a fire.
According to another source, the people throwing rocks were likely friends and family of the injured kid. His father included, no less. They don't sound very bright.

Knowing the logic of people if the kid died because the paramedics couldn't get to him because of the pelting of stones the family would be like "We're saddened that the paramedics killed son by neglecting him while we threw shit at them."
Like I could see why one would throw shit at the train conductor, but to attack the paramedics helping the kid makes me lose hope for the world because of the fact people this ignorant or this sadistic can be allowed to breed.
[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;46769833]are NSW police usually armed?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=download;46769843]Police are armed in every state and territory of Australia.[/QUOTE]
I can literally feel all the Americans shutting up :v:
Similar incident happened in QLD some years ago where a bunch of drunk dickheads were fucking around on a road, and one of their mates got hit by a car or some shit.
Luckily (or unfortunately as you will see) an off duty firefighter was living nearby, heard the commotion and came out to help. These dickheads wanted to drag him off the road and the firefighter wouldnt let them, explaining he probably has spinal damage, and asked that they help him cordon off the road and wait for emergency services.
so what did they do? they king hit him in the back of the head.

Probably got blasted and fell asleep on the tracks. That, or some bogans took his unconscious body to the tracks. If he were my archnemesis that stabbed my dog and stole my bike that's what I would have done.

Because killing everything isn't the answer dood.

Train wheels act like shears yo, slap your knees on the line when a train is coming and you'll save yourself a lot of money on shoes.
[QUOTE=J!NX;46769790]what incentive is there for these shit heads to do this?[/QUOTE]
hot-headed fucks with bloated egos who think it's cool to be all 'fuck the poo-lice, smash the state'
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;46770377]"Police state", "police is just a gang", "police is onto our freedom", etc.
I am amazed how in less then a month everybody exploded with hate towards people that go out everyday to deal with the weirdest shit the society has to offer.
The only reason I can think of.[/QUOTE]
No its just that police are extremely unpopular in Australia.
In NSW its a particularly strong sentiment, and its not just because being highly urbanized NSW has a lot of dickheads, but its also because NSW police bring it on themselves. They have highly aggressive policies and procedures, they talk to people like they are shit and they alienate the locals with their aggressive patrolling.
Not justifying this stupid shit mind you, just explaining why people would do this.
[QUOTE=HyperTails;46770119]you have to be a special kind of dirt to do that[/QUOTE]
Please note I rated disagree because dirt has some positives, maybe for building? Namely, you probably should have used a different word for them.
As for these people, I have some words for them, along the lines of sickening, sadistic, fucked-up, burn in hell, be arrested, and fucking cunts.
I could probably understand if its random, or if the police did something wrong, but doing this to emergency services that are trying to save someone's life and who is critically injured and probably is going to die is something only a sadistic fuck would enjoy and laugh at. For the sane people, it sickens them.
[QUOTE=Monkey san;46785410]Because killing everything isn't the answer dood.[/QUOTE]
Not what I meant at all, just pointing their guns at them would have been more than enough.
