Disgraceful decision but I am not surprised. Aussies glorify loutish behaviour so it is no wonder a jury of peers aquitted the thugs. I've lived in some rough places in the UK but Perth is more violent and decisions like this are part of the reasons why.

We can only hope that some form of justice does prevail (one of them does have a dicky heart after all).

I just read this on yahoo and was just about to post something here.

This is singularly the most astonishing and disgusting decision I had seen/heard in a very, very long time.

Simply astounding.

Sickening.

I've just spoke with a couple of mates who happen to be colleagues of Matt Butcher.

There is a feeling of shear disbelief amongst the officers right now ...

Why would they bother answering the next job over the radio when this is the potential outcome?

There's something seriously wrong with the judicial system ... if this doesn't prove that, I'll be buggered what will.

And it makes you wonder how many innocents have been put away by such an obviously dodgy system...

Doesn't change the fact that these thugs should have been put away.

Why should they be ashamed by that comment? If a system is so flawed that it allows guilty people to walk free then it also allows innocent people to be found guilty. I think it's a perfectly logical statement.

Fair enough, maybe I've interpreted it wrong, who knows!

I find it astonishing that there was a blatant assault, there for anyone to view- I understood that if you assault a policeman- that is what it is-ASSAULT. how no one was found to have done anything wrong here dumfounds me. Of course the question is- if the film was of a policeman launching an attack like that leaving the civillian disabled- would the policeman have been found not guilty?
