So, if I ride up on the Z50, wearing my all white outfit, do you think they'll let me in, even though I have been known to have a beer with some of the Gladiators? Anyway, I never even see bouncers when I go for breakfast..... regards, CrazyCam

Sure, why not. :-) With the WA Gov't this week paying out $1.5M to a pair of suspects that were beaten up till they confessed, and then spent some years in gaol, there will be a two week moratorium on beating up suspects in WA. To keep on track, it was the 1%'s who had subsequent problems with the retired copper in charge of that fiasco (after he shot and killed one of them for giving his daughter some lip in his pub), and removed him from the scene with some explosives in his car.

The blue gang aren't exactly renowned for getting it right. How many times have people been hounded mercilessly by them (and the legal system that follows on their heels), only to later find "oops, we might have got the wrong guy". The Mickelberg case is a good current example - $1 million compo each because the cops fucked up and hammered a couple of innocent people. And these guys are the ones who (in theory) get extensive in-depth training in how to spot the bad guys in the first place. And corks, in all his wisdom, is expecting us to believe that a $2 bouncer (with an IQ to match in many cases) is going to be able to do better than the people he'll be calling on for backup? ha! I bet corks reckons politicians are honest as well.
