A female Victoria Police officer's head was allegedly repeatedly "smashed" into concrete last night by a woman who refused to wear a mask.

The 26-year-old officer was allegedly attacked just after 5pm yesterday while on patrol with another officer in the Frankston area, near the Bayside Shopping Centre, in Melbourne's south-east.

"During that time they approached a 38-year-old woman who wasn't wearing a mask," Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said.

"After a confrontation and being assaulted by that woman, those police officers went to ground and there was a scuffle

"During that scuffle, this 38-year-old woman hit the head, smashed the head of the policewoman several times into a concrete area on the ground."

The lady cop lost some of her hair during the struggle... The attacker took the hair off her head...

Mask mandate is making some people act violently in United States and Australia...

The attacker is out on bail...

Her partner should have put a few rounds into the attacker. While I disagree with mask laws/mandates, attacking a LEO is unacceptable.

Oh wait, do police in Australia carry guns anymore?

No, it isn't. Poverty doesn't make people commit crimes, either.

The only people that are going to act violently are violent people.

Otherwise civilized people are not going to attack police officers or civilians over wearing a mask.

Police are sworn to enforce the law . It’s not a law to force people to wear a mask. Good on the woman.

Good on the woman.

Could you elaborate on your position? In particular, explain whether you see the civilian as an attacker or if she was unlawfully approached by law enforcement.

The risk is that all three people would be incapacitated.

The article is written in a spotty, uneven manner, but some basic facts are there. The young officer received a concussion from having her head slammed against the concrete.
My guess is the offender was drunk. It doesn’t change the outcome.

I hope the officer recovers and still wants to do this kind of work. It’s not for most people, nor is it for most families. Not sure if Australian Cops can carry guns or not. A Taser may have helped here, let the offender feel a little discomfort too. Might make them a bit more cooperative.

This is getting out of control. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask—but don’t chase people around to tell them to put them on and whatever one does—don’t beat on cops when they ask you to put one one.

Good grief!

Now I’m just going to skip threads on “pro-mask” and “anti-mask” behaviors.
This is sick.

One’s nothing to do with the other.

Impressive contrarianism noted.

the fear and hysteria and nonstop media hyping of this is making women in particular lose their collective shiite about this

The people resist this idiotic nonsense of the masks.

The people will revolt against all forms of tyronanny evil.

Surprisingly, or not, it’s the mask police that cause the most drama. The rest of us just want to be left alone.

I “quarantined” for the first couple of weeks (ok, 4 days).Since March, I’ve gone to stores daily (without a mask, with a mask under my nose, without gloves, without rubbing my hands with gel, etc.). I’ve traveled, by air and car, to four states,one Florida at the end of June and Georgia this past week. We haven’t done a damn thing in our house (and one daughter is a nurse at a major hospital in philly) since all this started. We had a blow out party for our youngest who graduated college in May in July. Nothing.I haven’t sanitized the mail or disinfected my house ever. We’re still all fine.

We spent the first month, or a few weeks, not seeing family, and that changed quickly. I’m not living my life not seeing my kids and we don’t do masks or not hug and kiss. I only wear a mask to buy groceries, because it’s required in my communist State of NJ.

So five months later, in the 2nd most hotspot in the country, defying all the protocols dictated by the CDC and other communists, we are all fine even with a kid who is a nurse at a major philly hospital.

Go figure.

People are getting hurt. People aren’t getting needed medical treatment. People are out of work. People are committing suicide and being murdered. When will the liberal Dictators and public health autocrats take their boot off the throat of our society?

But only those who resist “the mask” as dictated by our masters, attack...yeah right.

Every single story in MSM is all about those who refuse to follow a mask mandate.
