Victoria Police use Facts to Hurt Feelings · The Slippery Slope

  It doesn't mean that the nation of Australia is racist, contrary
• 0:06
  to what the Australian Broadcasting Corporation would
• 0:09
  tell us, contrary to what people like Laura Tingle would tell us.
• 0:26
  OK, so when it was pleasing, especially I remember when I was
• 0:30
  in general duties, people had told me, people had known me for
• 0:33
  a long time, had told me that I was, I had my attitude towards
• 0:37
  some things that started to change.
• 0:40
  And when I was dealing with people outside of work, but
• 0:43
  dealing with other like family members in that I'd become a
• 0:46
  little, a little blunt with the way I would deal with
• 0:50
  situations, the way I would talk to people, you know, be talking
• 0:54
  to family. And it was just like, well, no,
• 0:57
  this is going to happen. No, it, it was very black and
• 1:00
  white for me. You know, things were, I treated
• 1:04
  things like everything was black and white.
• 1:06
  It was just, it was just a cut and dry.
• 1:10
  There was not a lot of middle ground, not a lot of wiggle
• 1:14
  room. And, and I remember reflecting
• 1:17
  on this a little bit, thinking, yeah, well, that's because you,
• 1:19
  you're faced with these situations and you're, you're
• 1:21
  constantly having to make decisions, just decisions in a
• 1:28
  very short amount of time. And a lot of these decisions,
• 1:31
  decisions are tended to affect people's lives, sometimes quite
• 1:37
  profoundly. So you had a lot of
• 1:39
  responsibility. So basically you would just,
• 1:42
  you'd fall into this mode while someone would tell you
• 1:44
  something, someone else to tell you something else and you just
• 1:47
  be like, bang, I'm down there, this is my decision.
• 1:50
  I'm on this side or I'm on that side or whatever.
• 1:53
  And I found that would come to decisions really kind of
• 1:58
  probably quickly, sometimes might be too quickly, I'm not
• 2:00
  sure. But like I said, it's very cut
• 2:02
  and dry, black and white. No, this is right, this is
• 2:06
  wrong. And that was how my attitude was
• 2:08
  going. And rightly or wrongly, I think
• 2:11
  it was a product of the work environment.
• 2:14
  For for instance, I I think I think this this example would
• 2:20
  makes sense. I think in that's I remember
• 2:24
  going to a job, general duties, I was up in far northern past
• 2:29
  Cairns working and remember going to a job probably really
• 2:34
  early hours of the morning being called to a job and people were
• 2:37
  fighting. Apparently we get to this place,
• 2:39
  there's some music going. I think it was around 2:00 in
• 2:43
  the morning. People were sitting around in
• 2:45
  like a circle. There was some music going.
• 2:49
  Everyone's just kind of sitting, just sitting city and just kind
• 2:53
  of staring as if you know nothing to see here.
• 2:56
  They're obviously did not want police least there you just
• 3:01
  ruining their fun. The problem is there's a woman
• 3:04
  just sitting there, not saying anything or do anything, just
• 3:07
  kind of sitting, staring. Her face is all busted up, like
• 3:13
  it was busted up. She had busted lips, her cheeks
• 3:16
  were busted. She was busted up and she had
• 3:20
  blood. There was, you know, just kind
• 3:22
  of dripping. She looked a mess, but she just
• 3:26
  sitting there. Nothing, nothing, nothing to see
• 3:29
  here, nothing to complain about it.
• 3:31
  There's nothing wrong. What the heck are you doing
• 3:34
  here? There's a guy sitting next to
• 3:36
  her. He's just sitting there staring
• 3:38
  into space. Just he's like, I think he said
• 3:40
  something like, oh, you know, there's nothing going on.
• 3:42
  Want to even here? It's got well, the lady next
• 3:47
  year has got her. Her face is extremely swollen
• 3:51
  and she looks like a mess. The blood dripping from her face
• 3:54
  onto the floor and the blood splattered all around the room
• 3:58
  suggests that something's gone on.
• 4:00
  Now, the other thing that was that drew my attention was the
• 4:05
  fact that his knuckles are a little bit busted up and you're
• 4:08
  sitting going, well, how did this happen?
• 4:10
  How did you get those injuries? Nothing fell over.
• 4:13
  Fell over. She fell over repeatedly onto
• 4:16
  his fist is what I think happened.
• 4:18
  There were other people in the room.
• 4:20
  Everyone's just like no, no one, No one wanted to tell us
• 4:23
  anything. No one wanted to tell us what
• 4:24
  had gone on. No one knew what had gone on.
• 4:27
  No one saw anything. No one heard anything.
• 4:30
  No one knew a thing. No one was saying a thing.
• 4:33
  So in the in the end, no one's giving us any statements,
• 4:37
  nothing's happened, no one to make a complaint.
• 4:41
  I think we just took the bloke away.
• 4:43
  OK, I can't remember anything else that happened.
• 4:45
  I remember we took him away. So he gets put into the back of
• 4:49
  the van. So.
• 4:51
  Oh, so if you do that, obviously you're, you're arresting him,
• 4:53
  you're detaining someone. But I can't remember the other
• 4:55
  details. I don't remember if we took him
• 4:57
  away. Um, The thing is, you know, we
• 5:00
  came, you come to this conclusion, even though no one
• 5:04
  said anything, no one's given a statement, no one's provided you
• 5:07
  with any proof. There's one woman with a busted
• 5:10
  up, bruised, bloodied face and then the guy next to her has got
• 5:14
  busted, bruised knuckles. You, you quickly come to the
• 5:18
  conclusion that maybe something has gone on and maybe the lady
• 5:22
  is in danger and maybe we should take the bloke away and you
• 5:27
  know, see what? See what else we can do, if
• 5:29
  anything, just just to make the place a little safer.
• 5:35
  So that's what's going on. You don't do these things
• 5:38
  because you're thinking about stereotypes of people.
• 5:41
  You don't do think these things because, you know, I wasn't
• 5:45
  doing it because I'm racist, because, you know, it's just
• 5:48
  this certain ethnicity. I look at people and think,
• 5:51
  well, this is the problem. They do this, they do this and
• 5:53
  of course they hit their women. Of course it's him because all
• 5:58
  those, all those men hit their women.
• 6:00
  All those women carry on like this.
• 6:02
  And it's nothing like that. You just looking at a bastard
• 6:06
  woman who's bleeding extremely bruised and beaten looking and
• 6:12
  you're looking at a bloke with there with her knuckles.
• 6:14
  So you come to a conclusion and show you take action and this is
• 6:17
  what happens. So I'm going to share this video
• 6:19
  and this is about Victorian police.
• 6:22
  I look at this this video and I'll give I'll I'll say more
• 6:26
  after the video, but I look at the Victorian police are faced
• 6:30
  with a problem. They faced with the problem,
• 6:33
  they have got extremely violent gangs getting around in Victoria
• 6:39
  at the moment. Now predominantly these gangs
• 6:42
  are Sudanese. That's just the facts.
• 6:45
  That's just the facts. That's just the facts.
• 6:47
  They, they come across these gangs, these gangs are
• 6:50
  committing crimes, are extremely violent crimes, robberies,
• 6:54
  stabbing people, stabbing each other, you know, they're
• 6:57
  extremely violent. Uh, and then Victorian police
• 7:02
  are faced with these facts and so they're trying to let the
• 7:07
  bureaucrats know, they're trying to let the, you know, all the,
• 7:10
  the left woke bureaucrats who have this ideology that, you
• 7:16
  know, everything just everyone should, just everyone is racist.
• 7:21
  You know, if you go and point at someone who isn't white and you
• 7:25
  say, hey, that person, they just committed a violent crime act.
• 7:28
  Well, you sure you're not just racist?
• 7:30
  This is the attitude have, this is the audiology they want to
• 7:33
  live with that everyone, everyone is racist except for
• 7:37
  the person with the dark skin. Everyone else, all the white
• 7:41
  people are racist. The, the, the people who are
• 7:45
  black, brown, Brindle, red, yellow, whatever, they're not
• 7:49
  racist. It's just the, it's just the
• 7:51
  nasty white man, the nasty police officer.
• 7:54
  If you're a police officer and you're black, well, doesn't
• 7:56
  matter, you're racist anyway. They don't want to look at
• 8:00
  facts, so Victorian Police have provided them with some facts on
• 8:07
  the ground facts and they haven't liked it.
• 8:09
  So check out this video of what's going on.
• 8:14
  Staff members at Victoria's Department of Justice say they
• 8:18
  sat through a presentation by police that was racist,
• 8:22
  inappropriate and gratuitously used graphic vision, including
• 8:27
  of a murder. Police apologised but denied the
• 8:30
  racism allegation, according to documents obtained by the ABC
• 8:35
  under Freedom of Information laws.
• 8:37
  The session, held last year, was pitched as a really impactful
• 8:41
  look at the youth gang landscape in the state.
• 8:45
  But just over an hour after it ended, the complaint started.
• 8:49
  One attendee sent an email saying the final presentation of
• 8:52
  the day was very racist. The response came quickly.
• 8:57
  The department was already collecting staff concerns.
• 9:01
  Staff complained about graphic footage of serious assaults and
• 9:06
  murders, primarily within the South Sudanese community, which
• 9:10
  was described as gratuitous and used to shock.
• 9:14
  They said the focus was solely on African gangs.
• 9:18
  Commentary by the presenter was described as flippant and racist
• 9:23
  in several points. Attendees were said to be
• 9:26
  extremely affected and disturbed and claimed earlier warnings
• 9:31
  about violent content didn't go far enough, with one saying, To
• 9:35
  put it bluntly, police should have said we're about to show
• 9:39
  you someone gets stabbed to death.
• 9:42
  The secretary of the Justice Department called the then
• 9:45
  acting chief of police and sent a formal letter.
• 9:48
  It raised the concerns, including claims the presenter
• 9:52
  used the N word, referred to a child as an offender for life
• 9:57
  and made comments about sending people home in relation to visa
• 10:01
  cancellations. The head of Victoria's S
• 10:05
  Sudanese Community Association couldn't comment on the
• 10:09
  presentation, but did say. I've gotta stop and comment.
• 10:13
  Listen, I love the way they've just taken out little snippets
• 10:17
  of what they this is what they've heard.
• 10:18
  They heard racist commentary. Police are talking about people,
• 10:25
  youth gangs who are predominantly Sudanese from the
• 10:28
  Sudanese committee and all these people see is least being
• 10:34
  racist. Police are racist because
• 10:36
  they're picking on, they're picking on Sudanese.
• 10:39
  Ohhh. Now police are talking about how
• 10:42
  offenders possibly being sent home.
• 10:45
  I mean, we, we talked about that all the time when I was in QPS.
• 10:48
  You'd be talking about because you, you realise that, OK, if
• 10:50
  these people get caught, if it's if these offenders, because
• 10:55
  they've committed this crime, they are going to be sent home.
• 10:58
  It was just a fact that you spoke about.
• 11:00
  It's not that you're sitting there planning you.
• 11:02
  You don't make these people commit the crimes that that
• 11:06
  causes them to get sent back to the country they came from.
• 11:10
  They commit the crime all by themselves.
• 11:13
  Funnily enough, you don't, you don't help them along the way.
• 11:16
  They commit the crime. And the rules are that if you
• 11:19
  commit certain crimes, you're going to be sent home.
• 11:23
  Like I said, you're, you're, it seems like the police, Victorian
• 11:27
  police, are just presenting these people with the facts.
• 11:31
  But the problem is it doesn't suit their own woke ideology.
• 11:38
  I know they want to believe that there is no way the Sudanese
• 11:42
  community, there's no way these young children are doing
• 11:46
  anything wrong. It's the police's fault.
• 11:48
  It's the white man's fault. You know, it's everyone else.
• 11:51
  They're all racist because you're pointing out the problems
• 11:55
  within Sudanese community. You're pointing out the problems
• 11:58
  that there's these gangs running around and lo and behold, it's
• 12:03
  Sudanese gangs. Now, as I tell you, when when
• 12:06
  you're in the police, you're not sitting there thinking, oh, wish
• 12:09
  every gang was sued knees. No, you just sitting there
• 12:13
  going, well, I just go through the gangs.
• 12:15
  These are the games that are causing the problems are low and
• 12:18
  behold, it's Sudanese right at the moment.
• 12:20
  Now there's previous generations where different ethnicities
• 12:24
  cause problems and they're having gangs getting around.
• 12:28
  The police is not responsible for the ethnicity of the games.
• 12:31
  For crying out loud. That doesn't make you racist
• 12:33
  because you're pointing out because you're showing gangs and
• 12:37
  they happen to all be rated, they happen to all be Sudanese.
• 12:40
  That doesn't mean you're racist. That means that the Sudanese
• 12:44
  community has a problem with their young children.
• 12:48
  That's what it means. That means that the parents that
• 12:50
  come here and bring the young children, they're not being
• 12:53
  parents. They're allowing their children
• 12:56
  to just run amok in another country.
• 12:58
  They're not respecting the country.
• 13:00
  They're not respecting the culture.
• 13:02
  They're just doing what they want and they're allowed to do
• 13:05
  what they want because they have these woke ideologies who are
• 13:10
  who won't Ideologists who are telling that everyone else is
• 13:16
  racist and you're not the problem.
• 13:18
  You're a good person purely because you've got black skin,
• 13:22
  purely because you're from another country will then you
• 13:25
  must be perfect person. Everyone else is the problem.
• 13:29
  Don't take responsibility. It's everyone else's problem.
• 13:34
  I'll just look, there's nothing much more to say.
• 13:36
  They, these people complained, complained about everything.
• 13:40
  You know, they were confronted at the end of the day, they were
• 13:43
  confronted with the truth and they didn't like it because it
• 13:47
  didn't fit their ideology. Getting into the story that I
• 13:51
  had about, you know, the intoxicated couple who was
• 13:56
  sitting there, I was confronted with certain facts.
• 14:01
  Now I, I don't want, I didn't want to jump to conclusions for
• 14:07
  the fact, but at the end of it all, one person sitting there
• 14:12
  battered, bruised and obviously has obviously been beaten being
• 14:18
  hit. Obviously the person next to her
• 14:22
  is the only one in the whole group who's got busted up.
• 14:25
  Knuckles just happens to be her partner.
• 14:30
  Not much of A partner, but just happens to be her boyfriend and
• 14:34
  he's got busted up. Knuckles, what are you supposed
• 14:36
  to do? You're faced with certain facts
• 14:39
  ohe and no one, no one wants to tell you what's happening.
• 14:42
  You're faced with certain facts and you have to act on those
• 14:45
  facts. You have to make decisions.
• 14:47
  Victorian police are faced with the facts that the gangs that
• 14:52
  are getting around committing extremely violent crimes right
• 14:55
  now are Sudanese. That is the fact that are they,
• 15:00
  they are the facts. These teenagers are getting
• 15:02
  around because they don't have they don't have adult
• 15:05
  supervision. I didn't have parents who are
• 15:09
  behaving like parents. And this is the problem when we
• 15:12
  just allow people in and we don't we don't vet them
• 15:16
  properly. We just.
• 15:18
  Oh, yeah, you're just coming from this group.
• 15:19
  You're over here. You tell us you're in trouble,
• 15:21
  we'll just allow you in. Yep.
• 15:22
  It's all good. Do you know how to be a parent?
• 15:24
  Do you know how to discipline your children?
• 15:26
  Do you have any kind of thought process about how you're going
• 15:30
  to raise your children? How do you raise your children?
• 15:33
  Can you show us how you raise your children?
• 15:35
  Do you discipline your children? What are the what?
• 15:38
  What are the ideologies that you live by?
• 15:40
  What are the ethics that you live your life by?
• 15:43
  What is your moral compass? Where does your moral compass
• 15:46
  come from? The people who are making these
• 15:50
  complaints about Victorian police were faced, they are
• 15:53
  faced with the cold, hard facts of what's going on.
• 15:57
  That just because you're white or just because you're a police
• 16:00
  officer doesn't mean that you are racist.
• 16:03
  And just because you don't have white skin doesn't mean that you
• 16:08
  are automatically a good person. Just because you're an immigrant
• 16:13
  from Sudan does not mean you're a nice person, doesn't mean that
• 16:18
  you get to just skate on by and allowed a free pass on
• 16:22
  everything that you do and you can just do whatever the flip
• 16:25
  you want in someone else's country.
• 16:27
  It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be sent home.
• 16:30
  It doesn't mean that you should have just come here in the first
• 16:33
  place. It doesn't mean that if you
• 16:35
  cannot prove that you are of good standing and you want to
• 16:39
  actually contribute to this community, that you should
• 16:42
  actually be allowed to stay here.
• 16:45
  And it doesn't mean that we're racist.
• 16:49
  The nation of Australia is racist because we wanna stand up
• 16:53
  and we don't want, we want to stand up for our country and we
• 16:56
  don't want people living in this country if all they're going to
• 16:59
  do is get around in gangs and cause terror and intimidate the
• 17:04
  people in one of our states. It doesn't mean that the nation
• 17:09
  of Australia is racist. Contrary to what the Australian
• 17:14
  Broadcasting Corporation would tell us, contrary to what people
• 17:17
  like Laura Tingle would tell us, that Australia, Australians are
• 17:23
  just racist. We're just racist.
• 17:27
  Anyway, just want to give you a bit of my perspective.
• 17:31
  Why police make certain decisions while we come draw to
• 17:35
  some conclusions and and maybe, maybe we don't do things, maybe
• 17:40
  please don't do things because they're racist all the time.
• 17:43
  Maybe Australia as a whole isn't racist, isn't just a wholesale
• 17:50
  racist country racist group of people.
• 17:55
  That's just my opinion, I'm Jay Fellow, let me know what you
• 17:58
  think. Thanks for listening to the
• 18:00
  Slippery Slope. They will take
