Trent Potts' sister, Kayla Potts, 25, was released on bail and her fiance Jack Houldcroft was remanded in custody. The group had been at a 30th birthday party on Fitzroy Street around 3:00am on Sunday, when they became involved in a verbal altercation with two unknown men near a taxi stand. The court heard a woman attempted to defuse the argument when Mr Potts allegedly began"hurling abuse" at her before allegedly"kicking her in the genitals".
Two police officers at the scene were attempting to arrest Mr Potts when they were allegedly attacked by the other four, including Mr Tobin, who was a member of the band hired to play at the birthday party. It was alleged Ms Potts punched one of the officers before getting hit by a policeman's flashlight, requiring hospital treatment. Police alleged Mr O'Donnell attacked a police officer from behind before smashing his head into the ground six times.
If these 'people' believe its ok to attack an officer of the law, then they will believe the same in regards to everyone else. Must be penalised strongly.
Bail? seriously? wow...
Don't get it... they will go to jail for assaulting an emergency worker, but get bail before the trial...? How does that make any sense?
Now imagine the reaction of the courts, the media, Dutton and the public if these scum bags were black or brown...
White trash behaving badly. Should have had those pills tested!!!
Refugees held in detention centres for years. Violent thugs who bash police officers released into the community immediately. Lucky country for some
What an absolute disgrace. The police commissioner must not allow this to continue.
I seen my brother bashed to death at high school and this recent attack confirms to me how useless our court system is when we see these crimes and these disgusting people are allowed to walk out on bail, hand cuff and shackle them to make the point it will not be tolerated.
Nothing is too bad for these creatures!
Crazy. Violent crime against police and you get bail
Because they have “stable employment”. Who employs them They need to have a think about the people they’re hiring!!!
I expect these 3 while on bail can expect a visit from non uniform police officers.
Such quality people, making each other proud. Give them bail, let them report, let's see what happens. OffDuty
Victorian government is pathetic. How about remanding O'Donnell. After all, if you can belt a police officer's head into the ground 6x you shouldn't be frightened of 'vigilantes' in the remand centre which is what the magistrate bought
I'm shocked . No Africans were involved !
Where’s the police union? Surely they need to grow a spine and initiate a bit of industrial action...
Their defence lawyers will probably advise them to identify as Somali refugees, will be out in no time
Good to hear. Hope they rot in jail
Police won’t be happy, can’t blame them.
5 years each?! G'Day
White Caucasian gang charged....
But the woman should've been denied bail too. Why not?
Released? I guess they aren't brown.
I beg you to tell the bloke reading the spurt on newsradio there is no such thing as a local district court at wollongong or manly or anywhere else
Should be a 6 year minimum jail sentence
Good

That’s why shoot first and ask questions later these animals must be made an example of - I'd hang them, but 50 years behind bars might suffice.

Fifth person charged over St Kilda police assaultA fifth person has been charged in relation to a \'barbaric\' attack on police officers in St Kilda in the early hours of Sunday morning. Where r the charges against Police for Vicious uncalled abuse they do daily!! Another white person? Why is it if they're white there's no mention of race but if they're not race becomes a major headline Get them all, isolate & lock them up, don't let them associate or breed - ever. Nobody wants people like that in society. 😳

Credlin RitaPanahi Police officers are being decidedly diplomatic. If it was African gangs, then for sure no more than wrist slaps all round from kowtowing magistrate, but these thugs were, dare one say, white trash.
