Who's Protecting Whom?
It is not encouraging to learn that "former police complaint commissioner Don Morrison refused to order a public hearing into the death of Frank Paul because he wanted to save the career of a young police officer..."
Isn't that making a number of judgements and reaching several conclusions without and before asking any questions?
The implications are, among other things, that Constable Instant was guilty of something and that his career was more important than the death of Mr.Paul or the public's need to know and the Paul family's need to know the truth.
All of those conclusions are suspect without a full enquiry and more than suspect in moral and ethical values.
What can we expect of our police when their own watchdog doesn't know his own job?

Why do I find this hilariously ironic?
