Police face discipline over rough treatment
The Northern Territory Chief Minister says he expects the Police Commissioner to discipline officers who repeatedly slammed a man's head into a counter while he was in custody.
The man had his four-month jail sentence for spitting on a police officer reduced by the Supreme Court because of they way he was treated by police on the night.
Chief Minister Paul Henderson said he expected Commissioner John McRoberts would make sure the police officer involved was disciplined.
"That's totally unacceptable [behaviour]," Mr Henderson said.
"I haven't seen the footage, I've only read reports but police are expected at all times to act with absolute integrity and certainly that type of behaviour is not tolerated.
"I'm sure the Police Commissioner is actioning appropriate disciplinary measures."
The Chief Minister said the Territory did not need an independent body to monitor police.
He said he is happy for the Territory Ombudsman and the police ethics committee to investigate police behaviour.
"My advice is that the Ombudsman does believe that she has appropriate powers," Mr Henderson said.
"She has the ability to oversee each and every complaint into police.
"Certainly we're a small jurisdiction, we're not like New South Wales with tens of thousands of police officers, and I believe the oversight protections are there."
