"Data released by the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) this week show
fatal police shootings in Australia have reached an all-time high.

With the move to weaponise our police with widespread access to weapons such as
military-style rifles and crowd control equipment munitions, are we seeing a
move from a community service focus to a more force-orientated model of
policing?"
