The family of a woman brutally assaulted by police in Sydney has fought to have body-worn camera vision released, in the hope officers will be better trained in responding to acute mental health situations.

How can our police think they can beat someone up this way? They were convicted but police violence is becoming more evident (e.g. Sydney’s attack on Herzog protestors).

How can we better protect people like this woman with acute mental illness? How can a correctional centre let her out alone without her medication? It’s not just police who need better training but corrections staff too.
