The Death Penalty
The Queensland Government says that our police can’t co-operate with a foreign police force until the death penalty is taken off the table.
Right.
Let’s tell that to Superintendent Ross Dwyer OAM, Senior Sergeant Ken Rach OAM, Sergeant Stephen Cook OAM and Sergeant Scott Mclaren OAM.
Those Queensland Police members were awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia “for the roles they performed in the joint investigation….that followed the Bali bombings. - View PDF here.
Their work was included in the brief of evidence and prosecution of Imam Samudra, Ali Ghufron and Amrozi bin Nuhrasyim by Indonesian prosecutors.
Late at night on the 8th of November, 2008 the Bali Bombers were tied to stakes in the forest and shot through the heart by a firing squad.
The 4 Queensland police were awarded the OAM for their part in the investigation.
In August 2006 a covert Queensland police constable, who I won’t name, was deployed to Washington DC at the FBI’s request. He was an expert in infiltrating paedophile rings. I’ll quote from the commendation the Constable received,
“Over the next 18 months he continued to infiltrate the group without detection and assisted US authorities in the subsequent operation closure.”
The international operation, Operation Achilles was started by Queensland Police. It is a magnificent example of international police co-operation.
As a result of the operation 40 children were rescued. 22 people were arrested in the initial raids.
One of the network's members, 47-year-old James Freeman, was among the 12 Americans indicted week in the investigation
Freeman, of Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., posted two folders online to express gratitude for being accepted into the ring: one labeled "mild," the other "wild."
"All I can say is that they are worth the download," wrote Freeman, known in the global porn ring as "Mystikal," according to court documents. "My thanks to you and all the others that together make this the greatest group of pedos ever to gather in one place."
Florida law provides for the death penalty in cases of aggravated child abuse.
So I am at a loss to understand this sudden withdrawal from the international police community, at the direction of the Bligh Government.
Queensland Police are under instructions in the matter of David Gabriel Watson not to hand over evidence, much of it the property of the police in Alabama, until that state takes the death penalty “off the table”.
Why were our police awarded for their part in the execution of the Bali Bombers?
Why was our covert Constable awarded for his part in the arrest of Freeman in Florida?
This is what happens when politicians get involved in operational policing matters.
Anna Bligh and Cameron Dick should butt out and let Bob Atkinson run a police force, not a political arm of the Bligh Government.

Qld Polce officers are
decorated for their role
in finding the Bali bombers,
and rightly so.The resuslt
was the execution of the
bombers by the Indonesian
justice system.Now the
justice system of Alabama
wants to prosecute Gabe Watson for the alledged
murder of his wife here in
Queensland.The death penalty
might be involved.Now they are telling the Alabama
authorities to take the
death penalty off the table
They didnt say that to the
Indonesians did they?peter hansen Saturday 20 February, 2010 - 12:38 PM -
Karen - Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson - fair and equitable? You CANNOT be serious! I telephoned his office many times in relation to judicial abuse and judicial corruption, not to mention being assaulted by armed police in the peoples house because I told the truth. I have also written, emailed and phoned him person to person, many times but he has always denied us, despite being Australian citizens with inalienable civil rights.
This includes the right to access to PUBLIC SERVICE in our very own country on equal terms. Mr Atkinson has always denied my son and me. He has always refused to accept responsibility and always delegated his Deputies to reply to me. And they have ignored me repeatedly. Police have demanded his sacking and I believe there is even a petition to have him removed.
I so wish Alabama Attorney General Troy King and Lieutenant Brad Flynn from the Helena Police Department would send some of their LAW ENFORCEMENT officers over here to show them what that actually means and what ethics, probity, integrity and SERVING THE COMMUNITY really is! Because those things are seriously absent from the office of the Police Commissioner down. And Anna Blighs much praised FULL TIME (previously part time) Integrity Commissioner to whom the public cannot complain to about anything, is the same old galling alibi office it was last year. Nothing has changed at all. Dont be fooled!

I remember speaking with Amnesty International who advised,
"We can't act WITHIN the country [Australia]. We can only act OUTSIDE the country..."
Shortly after Amnesty Intternational leapt to defend and assist Aboriginal people INSIDE THE COUNTRY.
Michael, Governing is one thing and Policing is another.
I agree - Bob Atkinson is the expert here.
LET THE COMMISSIONER DO HE HIS JOB.
He is fair and equitable and no doubt knows the book backwards.
