Police officer furious at dropping of Flemington bash case
CHARGES have been quietly dropped over a riot in which an out-of-control mob attacked and injured police.
The policeman who laid the charges said last night he was disgusted at what had happened and he believed there was no justification for abandoning the case.
He said he suspected the matter may have been dumped because those charged after the incident at Flemington one year ago were of north African descent.
"That could be a factor. I wonder if that applies to youth in Sunbury or Craigieburn or Broadmeadows," he said.
Sen-Sgt Benedetti said four teenagers arrested were initially hit with charges including assaulting police, assault in company, resisting arrest and hindering police.
When those charges were dropped, less serious counts, including offensive behaviour, remained; but they were also withdrawn last month.
Supt Jack Blayney said last night: "The withdrawal of these charges followed consultation with the members and youths concerned and was deemed to be the best outcome for both parties.
"There are a number of pro-active projects in place at the moment which are aimed at improving relations between some youths in the Flemington area and the police, to increase social responsibility and awareness."
