在堪培拉,一名土著青少年在枪口下被从一辆公共汽车上拉下,并于11月12日被捕,因为警察错误地认为他将一个人的描述与购物中心的一把刀相匹配。 An Aboriginal teenager in Canberra was pulled from a bus at gunpoint and arrested on November 12 after police mistakenly believed he matched the description of a person with a knife at a shopping center. 警官们对多份报告作出回应,用拔枪将这名17岁少年从公共汽车上拖走,给他戴上手铐,将他推倒在地,造成疼痛和呼吸困难。 Officers, responding to multiple reports, removed the 17-year-old from the bus with guns drawn, handcuffed him, and slammed him to the ground, causing pain and difficulty breathing. 尽管他们不久后意识到找错人,但警察仍然对他进行搜查。 Despite realizing they had the wrong person shortly after, officers still searched him. 家庭和土著倡导者谴责这一事件,认为是种族貌相和警察暴行,要求进行调查,暂停警官职务,接触身体摄像头录像,正式承认偏见。 The family and Indigenous advocates condemned the incident as racial profiling and police brutality, demanding an investigation, suspension of the officers, access to body camera footage, and a formal acknowledgment of bias. 澳大利亚首都直辖区警察对造成的危难道歉,指出警官采取行动防止在公共场所造成伤害,并证实已向澳大利亚联邦警察提交一项申诉供审查。 ACT Police apologized for the distress caused, stating officers acted to prevent harm in a public space, and confirmed a complaint has been submitted to the Australian Federal Police for review.
