These so called cops attended the scene, interviewed none of the neighbours who witnessed the torching, were given a copy of a threatening (to torch car and kill family) text message from this thugs phone and refused to act.
These marvellous protectors of the public's safety, told my son to Call us when they are kicking in the door, we can be there in 3 minutes.
It takes less than 3 minutes to kill a family.
These same cops arrested this ***** when he intentionally crashed his car into a Muslim's car at a Canberra mosque and assaulted the man and his 12 year old son, he threatened to kill this muslim man in front of the cops, he was arrested and let out on bail, he was at this time out on bail for 2 other crimes, and only recently released from goal for serious assault on a police officer.
Now you have 2 in this post who think it is my attitude and a crock, why?, all I can say is these 2 live in a fantasy world, Regards Frank.

You get good in bad in all walks of life, what happened to your son is unfortunate and unacceptable but it doesn't give you the right to go making wildly inaccurate blanket statements.
You believing something doesn't make it fact.
And you've attracted these comments about your attitude because you clearly have an attitude. You dismiss people who disagree with you as 'living in a fantasy world', maybe if instead you say "well my experience says otherwise" you wouldn't find people getting their hackles up at what you say.
There are police on this forum who I know for a fact are hardworking and honest people who give 100% to their job, so maybe pull your head in a bit
Other people have experiences that differ to yours, deal with it.
Oh and you realise it's NOT the police that let people out, courts decide that

You can't just dismiss his experience with the police though.
The police let him down by not doing their job.
The courts never had a chance to let him out as the police never prosecuted.

Some police are hard working, that's not going to change tanks experience and tanks experience is not uncommon.

I'm not denying his sons experience, nor am I suggesting its acceptable

Your not denying it, your dismissing it cause you know some hard working cops.
That's not fair on tank and until you've been in his position/situation, I don't think it fair to say he has an attitude problem.

Anyways, we're a bit off topic now.

Curious how your son ran into this individual? Chance encounter (car accident) or associated with him in one form or another? Not casting aspersions just curious. If the later, he needs to quickly become a better judge of character.

If you hang around deadbeats, this sort of stuff happens. If not, and the other by means of random encounter (a lot rarer this way) then that truly sucks. HAving been in a similar situation of threats to kill I can assure you the Police can only act when it appears to be a real and credible liklihood of occuring or they'd be forever chasing up hollow threats made. Sad fact is because of this a small percentage of real threats lots of people aren't able to be adequately protected under AVOs etc when they really should be.

A tough judgement call for a Police officer to make. Often hamstrung by process and procedure.

That's pretty crap Pat. Here's to having less grief in the future!

From memory, Frank and his son were in the same line of business to the scum, who took exception to competition.
