Thomas's aunt, Virginia, said: "If you're black and see a police car, you just run."

And by doing so, you bring attention to yourself, and the police are probably going to chase after you to determine why you ran at the sight of the police.

Thomas's aunt, Virginia, said: "If you're black and see a police car, you just run."

The police are sticking to their story that they weren't chasing him... and from watching the morning TV channels (which now have email feedback lines) it seems that a great many people are sick and tired of the culture of "political correctness" which has allowed this sort of thing to go on, albeit usually on a smaller scale and without the riot squad (as well as what sounded like half of Sydney's police force) being called in to assist.

To put it in American terms, it's time to start kicking @$$ and taking names. More arrests are expected throughout the day (currently it's about 9.45am Sydney time).
