this is a new site, for documenting police brutality in alice springs.
if you see any violence, take a photo of it with your mobile phone, video it, and send it in to me at copwatchalicesprings@gmail.com, and i will put it up on the website.
there’s too much violence from the cops in alice, lets do something.
okay so this is not a cop story but a security guard but in many instances they act as cops in this town.
I was outside coles unlocking my bike. There two Aboriginal men resting on the bike rack. They were talking to an Aboriginal women in the car parked just next to them. One of the security guards walked up and told the two men to move on. One of the men answered that they just talking to their sister. The security guard insisted that they move on, threatening to call the cops if they didn’t. I interjected saying they are doing nothing wrong. The security guard told me that he wasn’t talking to me. The securoty guard then insisted, again, that the two men move on. Relunctantly they turned and walked off, their faces showing a mixture of anger and annoyance. Once gone the security guard walked back to the shop front. The women in the car turned to me and said I wonder how they talk to family.
Security Guards in town think they can treat people with the nasty ways.. I was at Bo’s and it was closing time, so i went outside to have a smoke.. there was 3 young aboriginal men walking up the street.. this Cop car pulled up and went straight up to them, talking really really nasty like ” where u going?” where?” just no nice tone about it..
I was already had a bit too much and told that cop to stop being nasty and throwing his word power around.. and i asked him is it because they were aboriginal?.
and he started getting nasty to me talking really aggressively.. he spoke to me the way that he spoke to them young men and talked to white people fine… I give people respect that show me and my people respect..
I ended up getting locked up… I asked him where he was from and he was from VIC, and been here a short while.. If cops want to come here to alice springs to work.. they should just start being more nice and maybe things will happen… I think some TERRITORY born and bread cops are far better than the dudes that come from interstate.. coz we here in alice springs have a different way of doing things and talking..
