Is this a case of too much police power? Are we facing the police state problems that are predicted for our country by the American right? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-27/koala-holds-up-traffic-police-brisbane-valley-highway/7278478 This was a peaceful jaywalker - admittedly he was holding up traffic on a major highway but did he really need police intervention let alone an "armed escort"?
The police officer was far too lenient. This jaywalker was obviously deliberately and maliciously endangering motorists lives for his own personal amusement. We need mandatory minimums to get these inherently evil jaywalkers off the streets, and into prisons, where they belong.
I'm surprised the Police helicopter was not required, its a big risk to the officer to escort someone like that so close to the general public, anything could have happened and things could have really got out of hand fast.
The police needed his weapon in case the jaywalker tried to bite him thereby infecting him with syphilis or something
Oh! Well! Someone has to make this comment Since the Jaywalker was unclothed we have to ask Wait for it!! "How much can a Koala bare?"
I have to wonder if the jaywalker had been long and slithery instead of all cute and furry whether there would have been a different response.....
Say what you like. They grunt like warthogs at night, they pee on your tent if you're silly enough to pitch your tent under a tree, they hang around doing absolutely bloody nothing. But damn they have good PR!
