In Australia, police officers are expected to abide by the law and are subject to oversight and accountability mechanisms, including internal disciplinary procedures and external bodies like police integrity commissions. The law prohibits excessive use of force by police officers, and instances of police brutality can be prosecuted under assault or misconduct laws. Additionally, individuals who believe they have been subjected to police brutality can make complaints to relevant oversight bodies.
Police brutality has been reported to have increased since the 9/11 attacks, but there are no published statistics on the frequency of police brutality actions.
Collective Opposed to Police Brutality was created in 1995.
There can be no justification for brutality. The job of the police is to protect and defend.
No-one should "do" police brutality, that's why it's called brutality rather than reasonable force, which is what police officers should use.
