Amnesty International AustraliaVideo footage captured last Saturday in Boondall has shown a Queensland police officer forcefully pushing Natasha King by her throat as she tries to reach her son.
Police say they were investigating alleged domestic violence, while the family say they entered the wrong home.
Let’s get one thing straight – it doesn’t matter what the alleged situation was, the police need to explain this kind of violent behaviour.
It is shocking to see this kind of police behaviour, especially given Queensland’s recent strong stand on violence against women with a new domestic violence bill.
We deserve better from our police – Tell Queensland’s Police Minister that we won’t stand for anything short of an independent investigation into this act of police violence.
