A video capturing a New South Wales police officer aggressively pushing a woman to the ground has gone viral, igniting public outrage and demands for an investigation.
The footage, widely shared on social media, shows the officer confronting the woman before shoving her forcefully, causing her to fall. Witnesses claim the incident escalated unnecessarily, raising concerns about police conduct.
Public Reaction and Calls for Accountability
The video has drawn sharp criticism from civil rights groups and politicians, who are calling for immediate action. Many argue that the officer's use of force was disproportionate and unjustified.
"This kind of behaviour undermines trust in law enforcement," said a spokesperson for a local advocacy group. "There must be transparency and accountability."
Police Response
NSW Police have acknowledged the incident and stated that an internal review is underway. However, they have not confirmed whether the officer involved has been suspended pending the outcome.
"We take all allegations of misconduct seriously," a police representative said. "The matter is being investigated thoroughly."
Growing Scrutiny on Police Conduct
This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding police behaviour in Australia, prompting calls for systemic reforms. Advocates stress the need for better training and stricter oversight to prevent such occurrences.
As the investigation unfolds, the public awaits answers, hoping for justice and meaningful change.
