00:00The officers pointed a gun, stopped the transport camera blasts and dragged him out.
00:06She slammed him onto the ground, whilst multiple officers had his knees on their back,
00:12causing him pain and difficulty breathing.
00:15And even after admitting they had the wrong boy, the officers still searched him.
00:22That is not policing. That is abuse.
00:25A clear example of police brutality and racial profiling at its finest.
00:34A child who had never committed a crime was treated like a criminal.
00:39He was treated like a threat and he was treated as less than human.
00:44There is no Australian law, no ACT policy, no international human rights standard
00:51that allows that level of force on a child, especially after officers admitted they had the wrong person.
00:59This incident is not just misconduct, it is evidence of a systemic failure,
01:07the same system that continues to over-police, over-target and over-harm First Nations children.
01:15And now the consequences fall entirely on our nephew.
01:18He is scared to leave the house alone.
01:20He refuses to catch a boss and he leaves in fear of police and that fear was created by your officers.
