2005 Macquarie Fields riots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A Fields day for the do-gooders - March 3, 2005 - Events of this week offer a sound argument for zero tolerance of crime, writes Miranda Devine. Tim Priest blames the riots on a culture of impotence at the top of a NSW Police Service that is so preoccupied with avoiding complaints against officers it is paralysed at times of crisis. The result is that front-line officers are left unprotected and looking foolish while future rioters are emboldened.
So the riots will continue and police will remain powerless, just as they were in the Redfern riots a year ago. We haven't learnt anything since then, Priest says. A lengthy NSW parliamentary inquiry came up with the dazzling conclusion that the police who were attacked in the Redfern riots needed more "cultural awareness training".
