The Falwasser family
Falwasser was resistant to police from the get go, mentally disturbed and once in his cell refused to leave when he was told to.
He received the bulk of his serious injuries from whacking his head against the cell walls and other minor injuries sustained from cops trying to restrain him-from hurting himself if nothing else.
Once again the perpetrator of a crime gets all the sympathy and the cops get critiqued and undermined in public for merely doing their job.
The flimsy case against the police for "beating" the nascent thief was lost but now the Falwasser family want to sue police.
A typical victim mentality that Labour has bred in certain sectors of Kiwi society over the last 9 years that makes individuals think that as criminals they have more rights than victims.
