Victorian cop avoids conviction for kicking handcuffed man

has escaped conviction for kicking a handcuffed man in the back and must pay a $10,000 fine.

Ross Fowler, 51, was found guilty in March of recklessly causing injury to Brian Jackson during an arrest in February 2016. The officer was called to a domestic dispute where he and a colleague attempted to arrest Mr Jackson at Frankston."Once arrested and handcuffed, whether because of frustration or anger, you gratuitously kicked Mr Jackson in the lower back as he was walking in front of you," Victorian County Court Judge Trevor Wraight said today.Before Mr Jackson was kicked in the back he'd been capsicum sprayed, kicked in the chest and was in handcuffs.

The judge also found it was "completely understandable" that the jury found his conduct to be illegal.

So does he keep his job so he can do it again PoliceViolence PoliceBrutality

Kicking a handcuffed man, he gets a fine. Then they wonder why people are losing respect for the police.

Seriously? A fine is all he got? What the actual fuck?!

Let me guess. The victim was white?

Not even the assault charge, just a fine! what? also another thing, a fine... will that money go to the person he kicked or back to the same police that kicked him

The inciting is continuous, people will be perfectly primed to create some more news for tomorrow.

Worried about coronavirus, Daniel Andrews urges Victorians to avoid Black Lives Matter rallyVictorian leaders, including Premier Daniel Andrews, are urging people not to attend a Melbourne protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody this weekend, even if they won't be stung with coronavirus fines. People's loved ones have been buried without them in attendance. Mothers have given births without their husbands present. People have gone without vital medical procedures for fear of catching Covid. Millions are out of work. But you can't catch Covid at a protest so thats ok? Would the majority people even know why they are protesting? First I’ve read that it’s protesting against aboriginal deaths in custody. People are afraid of being left out, being judged as to not agreeing, a fear of appearing to be racist if they don’t join the march. FOMO!!
