ALSWA CEO slams Taser crazy cops
International outrage after CCTV footage became public showing an Aboriginal man (who refused a strip search in an East Perth watchhouse) being tasered at least 13 times while officers stood by.
The scene has been likened to the infamous Rodney King bashing in the early 90′s (which led to riots on the streets of Los Angeles) by the Chief Executive of the Aboriginal Legal Service in Western Australia (ALSWA), Dennis Eggington.
Mr Eggington has warned that while recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody (1991) are continually ignored, the situation will not improve.
