Dragons celebration turns deadly

The biggest problem I have with tasers is that people generally get very disoriented in the minute after being zapped, and potentially do stuff unknowingly or unwillingly that could allow them to be perceived as a threat still. Being told to stay down after you have no idea what hit you, won't necessarily make any sense, then bam you get zapped again.

No one knows what happened on that night, hopefully it wasn't excessive force. I do think tasers can be a bloody dangerous tool in trigger happy hands however.

It was in the club. There will be CCTV footage any wrong doing will be seen. Something would of drawn the cops there. Simple you don't be a clwn drunken or not. you don't get tasered or sprayed. It's better then being shot or someone being killed in the fight or breaking it up.

Look on the bright side, one less dragon fan. And what would you do if you were a cop and seen a dragons fan after a GF win??? You would wanna beat the sh*t out of him a give him a good tasering. You can't blame the cop for what comes natural

You are an absolute f**king clown, wish they'd done it to you instead for that comment....
Now Dolly Dunn, go back to your sodomising & don't bother writing again. Useless twit behind
a keyboard, that's all you are & nothing more.

No not the same name...They are Steve and Steven...Read into that what you will.

Im guessing that would have been their anglisiced names.

I have two Uncles called Gaetano and Antonio, and Aussies in there wisdom call them both Tony. Even though my family makes the distinction of calling one Tony and the other Anthony.

Have you read any actual news stories? He wasn't denied entry, he was in the beer garden already, and it appears that there was no brawl, just too many people crowded into one spot and a shove or something.

You may believe that the police are all flawless angels and everyone they even send a nasty look at it is a dropkick and a criminal, but in reality police are capable of making poor decisions which can, in extreme cases like this one, needlessly cost someones life. They need to be held properly accountable for that, and the victims deserve better than to be dismissed as clear wrongdoers and deserving idiots.

And cupid, he wasn't armed with anything.
Police said they were forced to break up a fight that started between two men but appeared to spread quickly through the packed bar.
Officers struck a number of people with their batons, and two security guards hired by the club were also hurt in the fracas.
Came from the very same article you reference, also it's his brother acting as the special 'witness' for the smh it's not exactly the most reliable way of getting a good measure on the series of events.

Preliminary results of an autopsy carried out on a man who died after a confrontation with officers at St George Leagues Club indicate he did not die from physical injuries, police say.
Dragons fan Steven Bosevski, 35, was celebrating his side's NRL grand final win at the Kogarah club yesterday when a fight broke out, police say.
Security alerted police, who used Tasers, capsicum spray and batons to bring the situation under control.

Mr Bosevski's twin brother, Steve, yesterday described his brother as a "gentle giant".
But Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione today said Mr Bosevski was "throwing security around like rag dolls".
He rejected claims from Mr Bosevski's family that Mr Bosevski had been hit on the head, potentially causing his death.
Mr Scipione said the preliminary results from the autopsy showed that Mr Bosevski suffered "no physical injury that could have caused death".
All baton strikes were to Mr Bosevski's knees and legs, he said.
"Following a review of the footage, certainly I am confident that there were no strikes to the head," he said.
"From the preliminary post-mortem advice, which we have just received, it shows there has been no indication of brain injury, no fractures to the skull.
"Certainly there was bruising around the neck and the chest, which we have been advised by the coroner was consistent with CPR being performed."
Mr Scipione said police had been called in to eject "a group of people who were behaving aggressively".
"One officer, fearing that he was about to be assaulted, used his capsicum spray on that larger group," he said.
"At that point, the deceased man actually struck the police officer that was engaging him, to the face, and at the time, in his hand, he had a glass bottle."
The officer was believed to have been hit around his eye socket

what is facebook?

Suused it out once and I came to the conclusion that it is a place were one goes to be amongst like minded brain-cramped individuals.

If getting a meaningful life existence is for you,avoid this site at all times.

The only useful thing it has ever done is coup the main owner of about US$6.9 billion.

And that amounts to a lot of idiots clicking away...

I'd love to see this on the CCTV.
It seems, I'm assuming, both sides may be prone to exxageration.

It couldn't hurt considering a big chunk of them are useless undersized, worthless, chicken sh*t, tossers with no morals who will happily take a sh*tty bribe of a few hundred bucks to look the other way.
I have personally heard a police officer instruct another individual to forget that a certain incident ever occurred because they were not going to pursue a certain biker organisation.
I have also had one tell me to take the law into my own hands and for a flat fee nothing would ever become of it.

As for the "was he or wasn't he tasered while hand cuffed" argument, it goes both ways:

DIDN'T HAPPEN
Lack of credible evidence and witness's plays into police hands they didn't do it.
They, like criminals, are entitled to a presumption of innocence and due process with regard to their use of force in this instance.
Many statements, many different stories.

IT HAPPENED
Showing that they may have tasered the bloke was the odd occurrence of the top brass getting in the media f**king pronto to deny it, that's not a good look. :?
Footage of a female cop spraying a bloke a few years ago at a cricket match and then running away kind of adds fuel to the fire that this kind of behavior is not beyond many of them.

Whether or not the bloke was tasered while he was handcuffed or not it can still be justified , the blokes had legs to kick out with , teeth to bite with , mouth to spit with , it all depends how many Police were there and what the bloke was doing.
