After a confrontation and being assaulted by that woman, those police officers went to ground and there was a scuffle," he said on Tuesday."During that scuffle, this 38-year-old woman smashed the head of the policewoman several times into a concrete area on the ground.

The full list of restrictions People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.
Crazy dangerous woman, what reward will she get?
COPPER: 'I asked her politely why she wasn't wearing a mask, and then she suddenly smashed my head into the concrete 1000 times, and I went bald'.
Victoria is a POLICE STATE.
This is what you wanted, isn’t it SBS? If not, you should have known your anti-Australian reporting would be eventually cause this disrespect for the police and other government workers. Well done!
wtf
Hope the officer is ok. The comments section here should answer any questions about why things in Victoria have gotten so bad; a bunch of self-entitled right-wing morons who celebrate violence as a means of getting out of doing anything that benefits anyone else even a little
Need to build asylums too. Quick.
Pathetic. These officers are just like you and me. Only doing a job.
Thank Scott Mortison's QAnon mates.
Women in the police force may feel over confident and masculine. But reality can kick hard.
Melbournians are willing to march over the death of a drugged up career criminal in another country but say nothing of the granting of bail to someone who slammed a police woman’s head repeatedly onto concrete.
WTF! The perpetrator should receive zero sympathy and feel the full force of the law.
Should be charged with attempted murder of a police officer. Can’t believe she was bailed!!
I wonder if she will wear a mask in jail.
Do we know if the officer is OK? Is she stable in hospital?
Get the pigs who investigated Preston Police when they did this on a welfare check and you'll probably find no offence has been committed . Karma
😣
These so called sovereign people think they above the law. The only way is to revoked their benefits that an Australian citizen received. See if that will changed their attitudes. Tgey don't see themselves as a law biding citizen anyway, so why should they get any benefit.
Attempted murder charge?
Appalling behavior by a member of the public.
How dafaq did this thug get bail? What would the normal person in society expect to happen. I for one don't want them on the street.
That poor police officer should sue every media commentator & outlet, politician & 'celebrity' who argued against masks, covid, border closure etc. Make them pay.
Check to see if she's on a bag snatching spree from Queensland.
Repeatedly SMASHED!
I'm over these self entitled anti maskers. Tell the nurse who has to wear a mask all day everyday because of stupidity of these idiots not wearing a mask. Throw her in jail. I hope the policewoman recovers quickly and a big thank you for your part in protecting all Victorians.
Shocking disgusting
Tazer these people. Absolutely appalling behaviour!
Horrendous / jail her - no bail - no victim status just lock her up -
this narcissistic obsession with 'my rights' above all else is disgraceful and fuelled by RW media...we all reap the benefits of living in a society, and in times of crisis we work together for the common good...this protects us all. COVIDIOTS RWNJ
A little cell in gaol and she won't have to wear the mask. SIMPLE
This is pathetic, don’t put people in harms way, if there are 2 cops and they still can’t protect themselves, how can they protect us? Poor girl.
Fine and or jail. Her choice.
Vic is becoming a lawless , dangerous place to live
Time for a hanging
UnQuietAust How is the police officer now? Is she OK
UnQuietAust Disgraceful. Full book thrown at this idiot.
Look at the leadership of police in this state absolutely piss weak
Victoria police piss weak unbelievable
Who cares? We're abolishing the police remember. They should be replaced by social workers who understand the lived experience of anti-maskers better. We need to be better. AntiMaskerLivesMatter
Remember when we used to read stories like this, and say ... 'Only in America' Imported Ideology is driving these behaviors auspol
The police can only ask you to follow a lawful instruction. The constitution protects aus citizens from mandatory medical intervention. Although I don't agree with assaulting anyone. The police don't have any right to tell you what to wear. The police should obey the law.
This is sickening.
All anti maskers should be locked up for fifty years.
Disgusting behaviour Jail time for her surely
Damn, she should have repeatedly used her tazer on that lowlife. BlueLivesMatter
u know what’s more annoying & violating than wearing a thin piece of cloth on your face? Taking your shoes off at the airport and sometimes the free molestation aka “pat down”. But we all do it. These antimask people should have surgeries where healthcare workers don’t wear masks
Every time police are attacked ugly hearts jump online to be horrible or spotlight an unrelated issue. A woman was attacked. A person who protects us all was bashed. Tweets regarding this should only give support & show compassion. I hope the officer is ok and has good support.
now, THAT'S 'Domestic Violence'! 💥😵🚨
TimSmithMP is this what you want to happen? You are promoting this disrespect of the law.
Some weapons-grade Karen shit going on here!
Are you sure it's lady who refused to wear a musk or could it possible be a drugged crazed lady who just did not have a mask? A week ago a police bashing was un news worth. Bet she is on bail already. Just a police officers life in this day & age
C itizens O f V ictoria I gnoring D irections 1 9
Publish her photo & name. Unacceptable behaviour.
WHITE OR this is only relevant when they are NOT white?
Should be an attempted murder charge and 20 years without parole in a really s*** prison
Disgusting
Jail her for physical assault! Terrible!
Thanks TimSmithMP and your IPA buddies for emboldening these senseless resistors . At what point does opportunistic point scoring end and taking actual adult responsibility begin?
Good’ they deserve it.
Entitlement is a hell of a drug
She’s not a anti masker it’s just Frankston. Don’t try and start lies.
I hope they arrested her and throw the book at het!
Revolution 😎
DanielAndrewsMP VictoriaPolice I would hope that the offender will face a stint in jail rather than a slap on the wrist or an ‘intensive corrections order’. People of that ilk need to pay for the crimes they have committed-not one based on their potential for rehabilitation!
Would like to see this prosecution expedited so the community's scorn for such petulant loser criminality can be displayed.
Jail that bitch
Jail time.
Attempted murder charge and no excuse
1) the woman assaulting the officer is a grub. 2) what is the point of having officers kitted up with a plethora of tactical gear if they aren’t going to use it? vicpol SpringSt
Typical Frankston. Id love to know if her police partner was male or female. Some work doesn't suit identity politics, policing the streets of Franghanistan is one of them
50cnt bullet would fix the problem
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
That’s it. No more anti-mask, anti-5G, anti-vaxxer, Sov Cit, QAnon bullshit. No more platforming the batshit crazy who think their “rights” over-ride their social duty to not harm others. They are criminals. Full stop. Book ‘em. Cook ‘em.
Can't imagine the happy home she comes from.
We need an immediate blanket National blitz media campaign that makes wearing masks an totally required acceptable norm. Every advert break on radio, TV & streaming services. Law changes to enforce wearing & outlawing any non wearing. Throw this lady into jail for 12 months.
Sounds like she had that crackhead strength
That's disgraceful these anti mask people are insane. How badly behaved to be so childish and pathetic refusing to wear a mask. Put her in prison. I wear a mask to protect me Masks4All and to protect You
Sadly female police officers are going to continue to lose these physical battles.
And she’s been released on bail!
Ah yes......... 'VICTORIANS'
This pandemic is never going to be controlled until a treatment is found!! It has been proved that some entitled ones can easily cause havoc and wash away the good work of law abiding citizens! Those entitled ones do not care about others but themselves. God bless humans!
WTF is wrong with people?
Dans stormtroopers need to be more prepared for citizens fighting back.
That low life lady should be put in jail for good.
And people want the police defunded
It takes an unbelievably stupid society to have Female Police officers.
Seriously what the hell is wrong with some people?
Lock her up forever.
From the Aboriginal community? European community like PM ScoMo? Or Asian community like Mathematician Eddie Woo?
