"The killing of two police officers and a good samaritan, as well as the
wounding of two other officers in Wieambilla, Queensland, has sent shockwaves
through Australia.
While more details about possible motives will emerge over time, evidence
already suggests that at least one of the alleged gunmen – Gareth Train – was a
firm believer in a host of conspiracy theories.
This is important because the killings are the clearest example of what
security, policing researchers, and law enforcement have warned of – conspiracy
beliefs can be motivators for actual or attempted violence against specific
people, places, and organisations.
So what should police do, if anything, to counter conspiracy theories?"
