Anti-terror cops to combat surging violenceEXCLUSIVE by Keith Moor

VICTORIA's top cop has adopted a new "get tough" approach to street violence that will see anti-terrorist police deployed at trouble spots across the state.

Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon also revealed hundreds of other police are to be specially trained to quickly quell public disorder.

Ms Nixon said delegations of very experienced officers from around the state had recently outlined to her a shocking rise in the number of alcohol-fuelled incidents, particularly in Melbourne and Geelong.

"What I am hearing from my officers on the ground, very experienced officers, is that the level of violence in the community is just far more than they have ever seen before," Ms Nixon said.

"I talked to a leading senior constable the other day, who said he had worked in the city for years. And (he said) it was nothing like it used to be, both in the volume of people and the level of violence.

"He said in years past, if somebody knocked into somebody, there might be a bit of a punch-up but nothing more.

"He said now there is a swarm of people involved. The person might be on the ground and they will be kicked.

"There is a greater tendency for people to be in large groups these days, and the likelihood of them using violence is higher."

Ms Nixon vowed officers would be armed with all the tools and skills needed to crack down on alcohol-fuelled anti-social and loutish behaviour.

More than 120 have already had rigorous training, and scores more will receive it in the next six months.

"The training is about how to deal with crowds," Ms Nixon said.

"It's about having confidence, knowing the legislation and the powers they can use, and equipping them to be able to deal with confrontation in a very effective way."

Ms Nixon has also ordered a greater use of the force's elite critical incident response teams at events where trouble or large crowds are expected.

The highly trained, heavily armed CIRT units, which are available 24 hours a day, every day, were set up three years ago to counter terrorist threats.

While CIRT members will still have an anti-terrorist role, Ms Nixon will also now use their expertise in the fight against public disorder.

She said it was an unusual but warranted use of such specialist officers, and part of a tactic to flood trouble spots with police.

"Sometimes what you just have to do is get more numbers into the area to calm it down and have more visibility of officers," Ms Nixon said.

She said the strong response she had prepared was justified, because Victoria was experiencing its worst ever level of street violence.

Ms Nixon said the way that some Generation Y 15- to 30-year-olds had been brought up by their baby boomer parents contributed to their displays of bad behaviour and a lack of respect.

"We are just seeing a different generation that has so much more freedom," Ms Nixon said, "so much more access to everything: technology, money, alcohol, and drugs - ecstasy.

"They are difficult, and different in some cases. And they are the ones we are concerned about."

Ms Nixon stressed that she was not suggesting all Generation Y members were causing problems.

"There are lots of fantastic kids doing great at everything they do," she said. "We are talking about a small portion of that age group causing trouble."

Ms Nixon said she promised the officers who had alerted her to the disturbing level of street violence and alcohol abuse that she would tackle it forcefully with more resources.

"The response I have prepared is a response to their concerns about that level of violence," she said.

Ms Nixon said she was very concerned about the high number of liquor licences in the city, and vowed police would regularly blitz them to ensure they were serving alcohol responsibly.

She said there was no doubt the easy access to alcohol from hundreds of city liquor outlets was a major contributing factor to rising street violence.

"We are putting in additional resources to handle that," Ms Nixon said.

"Our officers are now very visible. There are more of them, and they will often be seen in threes and fours.

"They are being given better training in crowd control and how to protect themselves."

Ms Nixon said Geelong was experiencing similar problems of street violence.

"Police officers I talk to on the ground there characterise the problem as just really that age group of young people we call Generation Y," she said.

"The officers are saying that the experiences in life of this group, the way they have been brought up, actually contributes to the level of violence, that is higher today than it was with previous groups of young people."

Ms Nixon said she was getting a message out to her officers that while she didn't condone unnecessary force, nor did she expect them to put up with physical or verbal abuse.

She said she fully backed this week's use of capsicum spray by police at the Australian Open.

DISCLAIMER

Note: Updated Tuesday 2nd February 2010 6.40pm Sydney Time.

Love For Life does not support harm doing in any shape or form. However, we are supporters of free speech and post articles, documentaries, etc, that represent a wide cross section of ideas. See the Love For Life extensive research library where over 7000 documents, articles and videos are posted: http://loveforlife.com.au/issues. We clearly see the evidence of the destruction to MAN and the earth that has been caused by ALL religions over the centuries and are therefore not supporters of religions, cults, sects or any group that demands conformity of thought, speech or action, or has rules, regulations or rituals that must be followed. Religions, nationalities and cultural "identities" are formed as a result of the brainwashing we receive from childhood. They are part of the tactics the Establishment uses to keep us all divided from one another and fighting one another.

All religions promote discrimination and division, leading to hatred and even violence and murder. None of them have yet to produce a remedy to all the suffering, poverty, unhappiness and discrimination in the world. If any religion truly had the remedy to all the suffering on earth, there would no longer be any suffering. What have Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, atheism and the New Age done to end the suffering in the world?

The Love For Life website has information from all sides on many subjects, whether about Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Law, health, psychology, mind control, vaccination, aspartame, MSG, Chemtrails etc. There are over 6000 articles, documentaries etc on the website and they are so diverse that we are sure that everyone would be able to find something they loved and something they hated, if they took the time to search. If we removed all the articles hated by everyone, there would probably be nothing left! We are not anti anyone but freedom of speech is freedom of speech and no one should condemn the work of another without taking the time to research the subject themselves. Yes, there are articles by those who have a less-than-rosy-viewpoint of Judaism, but there are also articles on the dark side of Tibetan Buddhism (and it is very dark) for those who are interested in the truth: Tibet - Buddhism - Dalai Lama: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6271 Should the authors of these articles be abused and imprisoned for daring to challenge the widely conceived reputation of Buddhism as being the religion of peace and love and that of the Dalai Lama as a saint, or should those interested be allowed to study the work and come to their own conclusions? The same applies to all the articles, documentaries, etc, about Christianity, Islam, Freemasonry, New World Order, etc.

The Love for Life website also shows how the Rule of Law, the Bar, the Government, the Monarchy, the system of commerce, the local, national and multi/trans-national private corporations, all the courses and careers on offer from our universities, all the educators, scientists, academics and experts, the aristocrats and the Establishment bloodlines have also done NOTHING to end the suffering in the world. The website maps the insanity of a world where there is no help for those in need, just as there was no help available for us when we were victims of terrible bank fraud: http://loveforlife.com.au/court_case (orchestrated, condoned and protected by an international crime syndicate/terrorist organisation of judges, barristers, registrars, lawyers, politicians, banksters, big business representatives, media moguls and other lackeys who, all together, put up a wall of silence despite our trying many, many avenues. After the family home was stolen and business destroyed we were left close to poverty and destitution caring for 4 young daughters. Three years later not much has changed regardless of all our efforts. Where were all the followers of all the religions to help us? Or do we have to be members of those religions to receive help from others involved in them?

We have been accused of being anti - Jewish because we had posted an excerpt from James von Brun's book: Kill the Best Gentiles! http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6054 in which he blames Jews for the problems of the world. Obviously this is not our view because of what we have stated above. We do not hate anyone, whatever religion they follow. We are always open to talk to any religious leader or politician and meet with any judge, member of the Bar, experts, academics, educators etc to share the remedy we offer that heals all the divisions between MAN and MAN, and MAN and the EARTH.

Today, a representative of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies is threatening to close the website down, because they have decided it is anti - Jewish and that we promote racism. What has the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies done to end the suffering in the world? Can they show that they are concerned with the suffering of ALL men, women and children AND ARE SEEN TO BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT or are they only concerned with Jewish affairs? If so, they, along with all the other religions that only care for their own, are part of the problem, not part of the solution. The man who rang Arthur today was only concerned with Jewish affairs; he was not interested in our intentions or in anybody else, just as most Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Catholics, etc, are only interested in their own. While we separate ourselves into groups, dividing ourselves from others with rules, regulations, rituals, procedures and conditions, we will never solve our problems.

No matter what we in the Western World Civilisation of Commerce have been promised by our politicians, religious leaders, scientists, educators, philosophers, etc, for the past two hundred years, all we have seen is ever-increasing destruction of men, women and children and the earth. None of the so-called experts and leaders we have been taught to rely on are coming up with a solution and none of them are taking full-responsibility for the fact that they can't handle the problem. All religious books talk about end times full of destruction and suffering but why do we have to follow this program when there is an alternative to hatred, mayhem and death? Why are our leaders following the program of destruction and death rather than exploring the alternatives? It seems that any mainstream politician, priest or academic are only interested in supporting the RULES OF THE DIVIDE, that maintain the haves and the have nots. For 200+ years, 99% of the world population have been so trained to pass on their responsibility for themselves, others and the earth, that the 1% of the population that make up the leaders of the rest of us are making all the decisions leading to the destruction of all of us and the earth. Let's not forget the education system that brainwashes the 99% of the population that we are free and have equal rights while, in fact, we are feathering the nests of those at the top.

At the root of all our problems is self-centredness, an unwillingness nurtured by the Establishment that keeps us concerned only with our own needs rather than the needs of others around us and the Earth. Instead of creating and releasing acts of love for those around us as gifts to benefit them and the earth, we take, take and take, until there is nothing left. The whole point of the Love for Life website is to show people the root of all our problems and to share the remedy. The extensive research library is there to attract browsers and to provide access to information not available through mainstream channels. If the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies can, after careful examination of our work, prove that anything we are saying is wrong, we will be happy to accept their proof. If they cannot, and they are still insistent on closing the website down, they will be showing themselves to be traitors to MAN because they are not interested in pursuing any avenue that can end the suffering in the world.

All religions, corporations and organisations that support and maintain the Western World Civilisation of Commerce are part of the problem because our civilisation is a world of haves and have nots, racism, violence, hatred, poverty, sickness, discrimination, abuse, starvation, homelessness, corruption, collusion, vindictiveness, social unrest, arrogance, ignorance, fear, war and chaos. While we support civilisation, we support death and destruction because ALL civilisations that have ever existed are apocalyptic by design.

If we truly want peace on earth and freedom for all, we have to let go of all that which keeps us divided, and come together as MAN, conscious living co-creators of creation. The Love For Life website offers a remedy to the problems we all face in the form of DO NO HARM COMMUNITIES: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/3641 For more details see here: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6511 and here: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/3385 - We also highly recommend that everyone read the brilliant Russian books called The Ringing Cedars: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/1125 - The Love For Life homepage/front-page also provides lots of inspiring remedy based information: http://loveforlife.com.au - If you want to be kept up to date with our work please register to the Love For Life mailing list here: http://loveforlife.com.au/content/09/05/14/campaign-mailing-list We usually send two postings per month.
