Victoria Police Minister, Acting Commissioner admits African criminal gang problem

"A weak, insipid, discredited bunch of weasel-word-spouting flakes whose word cannot be trusted".

Hilarious.....

Michael,
Each time I fill this box the text escapes.
Can you please send me your email and I will comment.
There are clear paralells between the Melbourne issues and occurrences in other tribal societies such as PNG Highlands (where they were sorted out to the benefit of all parties).
Regards,
Bill Edwards

usual story, deny there is a problem until the denial looks stupid enough for long enough....
deport the entire family - parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, uncles/ aunts - of every single offender that is convicted.
That is the only pressure that these cultures will respond to.
"Youth workers" - what a joke and an absolute waste of money. Take a hard line on a few and watch the rest fall into line.

This is the result of being too 'PC'. Don't admit to a problem that involves refugees, Africans, muslims, or even the very rare, (ahem), cases of blatent misreporting by 'their ABC'.

If you never recognize that a problem exists, it will always inevitably get worse. This applies to so many problems that plague Australia, and many other countries these days. The PC brigade have hijacked common sense, and the limp-wristed politicians are too scared to act!

Meanwhile, innocent law-abiding Australians pay the penalty. Keep your cricket bats, baseball bats or golf clubs at the ready folks. Unfortunately, I think we might need them in the near future.

But it's "a “tiny little number” of youths were breaking the law" according to one African community leader. WRONG!

Latest report from the HeraldSun:

As police label Melbourne’s out-of-control African teen thugs “street gangs” and vow to lock up dangerous and violent offenders, leaders from the African community have hit back at criticism by Malcolm Turnbull that Victoria is facing a “gang violence” issue.

African leaders say the Prime Minister should “man up” and support the community rather than passing the blame.

South Sudanese community spokesman Richard Deng said the African community should not be used as a political tool to win elections.

“The Prime Minister needs to man up and support the African community,” he said.

Mr Deng denied Melbourne was tackling an African gang issue, instead saying that a “tiny little number” of youths were breaking the law.

“Targeting a small community just because of that 1 per cent who are committing crime is not the right thing to do,” he said.

“It upsets them and does more harm,” he said.

Mr Deng praised the work of Victoria Police in supporting the community and disputed claims they were not doing enough to tackle the scourge of youth crime.

The community leader said he met with local police members at Ecoville Park in Tarneit yesterday to discuss how best to stop groups of young men congregating in the area and terrorising locals.

He said the meeting had not been planned prior to Mr Turnbull making his comments.

Mr Deng also took aim at comments made by Nelly Yoa, a prominent young south Sudanese man who said he was “in disbelief when police said gangs don’t exist”.

We fend for ourselves until it's election year.

This is exactly why every year should be election year. Any year it isn't they just feed us garbage.

African's should be rounded up and relocated back to Africa, we don't need them and they breed like rabbits.

Let me guess - the police and government sat down and decreed a 2018 New Year's resolution. This year, they will start telling the public the truth - well, maybe not all the truth, just a little.

It's bloody crook when it is determined necessary to point out which is which ... "Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville, right, and acting Chief Commissioner of Police Shane Patton hold a press conference regarding African youth crime in Melbourne today. Picture: AAP"

Its a fully understandable physiological issue Michael , its typicaly impossible to sight anything when the human head has been inserted past the eyeballs inside a opaque vessel ....say like ones own rectum.

Its a tad similar here on the Central coast where special operations goggles have been issued that allow for narrow limited vision of officers .This ensures police only notice offences that attract revenue , but are able to prevent police from noticing the social crime and thuggery happening nearby which has no financial or media upside .

....Simples

Victoria has, again, become a disgrace and the crime capital of Australia thanks to a hard leftist, union run labor government, who have infiltrated vicpol and politicised our law enforcement arm as well as the judiciary. We need to call out the rats within vicpol who have destroyed our once great group of cops on the beat. The respect for the police here now is as low as it’s ever been and people just do not feel safe any more. It’s that bad. We had an attempted home invasion back in Feb, called the cops and they had no cars to attend. It was at my two daughters townhouse and I was visiting. When the attackers realised we had called the cops they left, but the cop on the phone couldn’t care less. I told him my daughters were scared out of their minds as their had been a spate of robberies, peeping toms and trespassers on the property. The cop told me if my daughters felt unsafe they should move. The cops never showed up. Absolutely disgusting and a bloody disgrace.There was another attempted break in the next night next door where the cops again didn’t attend. The cops have totally lost the trust and respect of the community and I now despise the police. The whole lot need to be thrown out and shamed for what they have done to this state. I hate living here now, but I have my kids and my business here. It’s turned into a bad B grade horror cop movie. Matthew Guy is a nice bloke but he hasn’t the guts or determination to step up to be a strong leader. We need another Kennett. A pox on the ALP, a pox on the bloody unions and a pox on vicpol. You bastards have destroyed a good place for your damn ideology. I hope you all get the karma you deserve. Bastards.

Please mr Numbers free yourself from the FAKE Matrix Media ! Your Very own Brain is out There !👽👽👽👻

Are you intentionally off topic Numbers, or just displaying your usual " Varsity edumacation " ?

Here's the legal system at work SJW "judges" protecting perps' rights ahead of victims and the wider community. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

"A young South Sudanese man jailed for violent offending won a reprieve from deportation to his homeland because authorities failed to consider the impact on his family and his mental health problems.

The 25-year-man, whose identity is redacted, was jailed in 2012 for armed robbery and other offences that a sentencing judge described as "dangerous, frightening and extremely violent".

But in a ruling made last month, a Federal Court judge gave the 25-year-old South Sudanese man a reprieve by ruling that the Administrative Appeals Tribunal had not considered the impact a possible deportation would have on his younger siblings and his nieces and nephews, who are all children. [Comment: How could the deportation of this violent thug not be a good thing for his child relatives who certainly don't need him around to abuse them or act as a bad role model.]

Justice Debra Mortimer ruled there were doubts over whether deportation was in the best interests of the man's young relatives. The man also requires treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Justice Mortimer said the tribunal's failure to consider those factors deprived the man of the possibility of a successful review of the government's original deportation decision. She ordered that the case be reviewed again.

Meanwhile, an analysis of the sentences imposed on some of the young Sudanese and South Sudanese men in Victorian courts last year showed almost all were repeat offenders.

The analysis of the cases of a dozen men aged between 18 and 25 found all but two had prior criminal convictions before they were sentenced for offences including armed robbery, aggravated burglary, intentionally causing serious injury, theft and affray. Their sentences ranged from four years in prison to community corrections orders."

The Andrews/CMFEU Government is a bloody disgrace. Also the leadership of the Victorian police is a bloody disgrace too. As a Victorian resident, I've had enough of this rotten Labor/CMFEU Government, they must go NOW!. One of my new year's wishes is to see the Daniel Andrews government be defeated in this year's state election, these bastards must be stopped from running this state once & for all. Also I hope that if Matthew Guy & the Coalition party win government that they clean out the current leadership of the Victorian police force. I have absolutely no confidence in the current leadership of the Victorian police force.

Look Peter Dutton is already in his new portfolio - so the "Chairman Reformer" has already made the changes in security now George is going the way of Alexander Downer they must of had to keep this position in the same hands..

"HOME AFFAIRS MINISTER" - so it is..

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has said Victorian residents are too frightened to leave their homes to go out for dinner, as the state grapples with an African street gang problem.

Mr Dutton said the Victorian Government had been caught “flat-footed” by an outbreak of gang violence over December, and that residents have lost their sense of public safety.

“People don’t see this in NSW, in Queensland, but the reality is people are scared to go out at restaurants of a night time because they’re followed home by these gangs, home invasions, and cars are stolen,” Mr Dutton told Sydney radio station 2GB on Wednesday.

We are one big social engineering "Rat Lab" only the rats are in control at least in their minds they are, when put into practice in reality things may not go as planned to bring in the New World Order one state at a time (that is one or two states in each nation with an agenda for the globalists to work on)..

The federal government is seeking philanthropic support for a number of its initiatives. In addition to seeking support to advance the implementation of the recommendations of the Presidential Taskforce, the White House recently launched the Policing Data Initiative to explore how best to use data and technology to build trust, voice, and solutions to improve community policing. The Department of Justice recently selected the first six cities to host pilot sites for the National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice, which was launched last fall to help repair and strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve by exploring strategies intended to enhance procedural justice, reduce implicit bias, and support racial reconciliation.

We are gaining a better understanding of these efforts in order to determine how best USP can use this moment to create a national movement. We have already had a set of preliminary conversations with about a dozen key stakeholders and will undertake a field scan to map the areas of work currently underway to advance police reform, including an assessment of the redundancies and gaps in work, and opportunities for collaboration. As we proceed, we will engage the funder network we helped to establish, the Executive Alliance on Men and Boys of Color, which now includes forty foundations.

The document also identifies reducing incarceration rates as another goal of police reform:

The police killings of African-American men in Ferguson, Staten Island, most recently in North Charleston, Baltimore, and many other American cities, highlight that reform of policing policy and practice must be integral to our criminal justice agenda. Notably, while such reform activities are inextricably linked with our concerns about racial justice and equity, in particular about advancing opportunity for boys and men of color, they are also critically related to our goal of reducing incarceration, given the role that police practices play in bringing people into the justice system.

Nearly 300 men born in Sudan or South Sudan were arrested in the last financial year, according to Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency. In raw numbers, it is a small cohort when compared with the 18,770 Australian-born and 658 New Zealanders arrested by police. But compared with 2016 population data, Sudanese or South ­Sudanese-born people are 6.135 times more likely to be arrested than anyone born here.

Victoria Police’s handling of the law and order crisis has sparked a backlash from some Melbourne residents. There was a furore when no ­arrests were made after a brawl ­between youths in St Kilda this month. Only one ­arrest was made from an out-of-control Airbnb party in Werribee where youths attacked police with rocks.

Analysis by The Weekend Australian reveals that of the 17 offenders of Sudanese, South Sudanese or Kenyan descent who were sentenced in Victorian county courts in the past year, only two were given sentences above the average for the crime. In one case, despite the offender having 15 prior convictions, he was fined $100 and given a 188-day sentence after being charged with a theft and an affray that involved him stealing a 30cm knife and using it to stab another man in the leg in a brawl.

Police Association Victoria secretary Wayne Gatt said the state judiciary has frustrated its police officer members because of its “propensity to hand out sentences for violent crimes that fall short of community expectations”.

Albo wants to put his two cents worth in.. (he looks like he has aged in a year that is what playing politics will do to you, the stress lines and grey hair start to show)..
I think it funny when one politician tells another to stop playing politics when it was their chosen career and vocation to do just that..they can't exactly turn that tap off as they live it, breathe it and that is all their mind is capable of thinking up the next strategic move to advance themselves or their political views on policy..

Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese has accused Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton of “playing politics” with serious issues, after Mr Dutton told a Sydney radio station Melburnians were scared to go to restaurants at night due to fears of street gang violence.

However, Mr Albanese conceded a “disproportionate number” of African youth as a percentage of the population had been engaged in committing crime in Victoria.

He said he had been in Melbourne last night, and did not notice any reluctance of people on the streets to go out.

“This morning I haven’t seen reluctance when travelling to and from meetings here in the CBD as well,” Mr Albanese said.

“I think Peter Dutton has a serious office as the Minister for Home Affairs, and he needs to treat that great honour with the dignity and with the respect and gravitas that it deserves.

Seriously this Judge is a bit ignorant he is in a country town that is not Melbourne or its suburbs and nothing like it..
I would feel safe dining out in Mansfield I used to live their for about 10 yrs, Melbourne would be another story and it doesn't have to be at night when you are attacked it is when the thugs get out of bed so any time of the day they can terrorize the neighbourhood..
Judges must live in a sheltered environmen as well in the high end of town, they may deal with crims and crooks but not live amid them as the population does that are scared of being attacked, if the gangs can think nothing of attacking the front line of the law the police what hope do they have against having a mindset of attacking the average man on the street.. they don't care for human life or limb one way or another and probably think it is an award of your toughness if you do go for the kill in attacking a policemen it may win you a bit of hierarchy within the gang situation so you are not picked on, and it may be a part of the initiation as they watch the youtubes of those from around the nations espeicially those in their hometown and associate themselves with the same victim status in society so fight the enemy of the state being the Police and the law. so they are getting the wrong messages with the light sentences and no consequences being dealt when they disrespect the property and life and limb of other humans.. as they know they can get away with it and be fed on welfare and the crime is just an aside to having cash or goods that they would not have to declare, but also because of being treated like victims they don't have to have responsibilities because the state has decided to look after them and protect the agenda of the state at the same time..
This is the divide and conquer strategies that start the civil wars when souls start to take the law in their own hands as the law makers aren't doing the job and the world becomes a place of tribes, it is so well orchestrated the agenda of the darkforce it happens before your eyes as you watch how they break down the society..

Victorian Supreme Court judge Lex Lasry has mocked Peter ­Dutton’s claim that Melbourne’s gang violence had made residents too scared to go out at night, sparking a rebuke from the Home Affairs Minister.

After Mr Dutton made the comments on Sydney radio on Wednesday, Justice Lasry slammed the comments as ill-­informed, and ridiculed the minister on Twitter. “Breaking: there are citizens out to dinner in Mansfield tonight and they’re not worried,” he tweeted on Wednesday evening, referring to the Victorian alpine town he regularly visits.

Mr Dutton hit back, saying “I hope His Honour had time between courses to spare a thought for the young police officer ­assaulted by a gang member last week”, in a reference to a police ­officer allegedly attacked during an arrest on Boxing Day.

While senior Labor MP Anthony Albanese attacked Mr Dutton yesterday for playing politics over the Melbourne gang issue, some residents of Mansfield were not impressed that their town was drawn into the controversy.

Sioux Hardiman and her daughter Sam, 16, said it was unfair to compare Melbourne with the country town, as they finished up dinner and enjoyed a stroll through the park. “You can’t compare them at all. You have 12,000 ratepayers in Mansfield but you can’t compare it to Melbourne — look at the amount of people there, the unemployment and all that,” Ms Hardiman said.
