Police Commissioner says he needs immunity to answer.He's police. He has immunity.
Were phasers set on stun?
Stupid clickbait cr@p.
Not really.

Get in a time machine and go back 5 or 10 years. Ask average people to name some harmless, sensible countries that never cause trouble. Pretty good chance that Australia and Canada would both make it to the short list.
Today? Unbelievable levels of fascism in both.
And here in the US? Under Brandon? I sure hope no one thinks that voting in an election, or holding a hand-made sign in the public square is going to get them anywhere except a jail cell.
The solution to the problem is in a box somewhere. We keep opening boxes but we keep coming up empty. Maybe the last box will fix things.
A picture of a victim of the weapon shows microwave damage to her face. It came from a military grade microwave weapon. That’s why he needs immunity.
Police automatically have immunity for acts within their assigned responsibility. It’s called qualified immunity.
I was a cop. I’m fully versed on Qualified Immunity.
It covers that if they’re doing their jobs according to the law, then they are immune from civil actions. If, during the event, they broke the law, then they can be sued and also charged with a crime.
If a law enforcement official says that he’ll only answer a question if he’s given immunity, that should be raising a tsunami of questions as to what happened.
No such thing as immunity, commissioner. No such thing. Say it, jerk.
For the reasons that you expressed. The officer believes he has acted outside of the law. Oh well. Just another day on the job. Deed done, no reversing that, and no consequences to whoever "pulled the trigger," other than (maybe) a tounge lashing. He'd do it again.
This isn’t a police world where the citizens are messing up. This is a people world where the police are messing up. The police department’s rules are meaningless. There is no immunity, ever.
Except for Kim Potter, who’s looking at 20+ years in prison, right? No consequences for her, right? She did what she did, she admitted to doing what she did. And she’s dealing with the consequences.
Lt Michael Byrd, murders a diminutive, unarmed woman and NOTHING.
So, the qualified immunity argument is so screwed up it’s hard to know which way is up anymore.
Again, if this guy is asking for anything, then something went wrong. He knows it. He wants distance from it. But, at the end of the day, it’s those same politicians that give him the qualified immunity.
However, we are talking about Australia, not the US. That is perhaps a huge thing to overlook. Do the cops in Australia have the same immunity as they do in the US?
You will not hear or read me disagreeing with that.
But, lets not confuse what happens here and what happens there.
I have no idea how they do things in Australia.
Immunity is a judicial construct in the first place, in the US - could be modified by a statute, and is, in parts of the US (Colorado). US and AUS are both derived from Brit Common law (except Lousiana is derived from French civil law).
I figure the two jurisdictions (US by and large, vs. AUS) are similar, but not identically worded.
Quick peek at AUS, it’s called “police immunity” there, and appears to derive from statutes.

That which is given, can be taken.
But, sumthin’ ain’t kosher in Denmark if the head police dude is asking for this.
Another......agree.
