    This cop certainly has a way with words.

    Referring to the terrible car fire in Queensland.

    The Detective Inspector said.......


    “I’ve seen some horrific scenes – this is up there with some of the best of them.
    “It’s a terrible thing to be presented with.”
    I know what he means, but he must be a bit of a dill all the same.

    Could he have not said "........the very worst of them?"

    It is his verbal second clanger in two days.

    Back to school for you sonny Jim.

    It's such a terrible situation that I can understand anyone struggling to describe it.

    That is bollocks Mick although understandable bollocks.

    The guy is a senior, experienced Member & of the Q Police Service & obviously their nominated Spokesperson, so obviously there shouldn't be any cock ups. The words came out of his mouth & presumably his brain.


    Don't they have PR people at times like this?

    2 down & no more to go I hope.

    He had realised he had stuffed up publicly previously & already was kicking himself over that one.

    He's off the case now.

    Who is a clever boy then?


    I'm sure he is a good cop as cops go but when part of their job is PR especially media interviews, then they have to get that right, right?

    I think he was trying to warn people against speculating about what happened, but made the mistake of giving examples of how they might speculate, one of which appeared to excuse the actions of the bloke. Obviously, there is no excuse for what the father did. The detective should not have given examples.

    My comments were based on his statement about the husband 'being driven too far', which is what caused the Police Commissioner to take him off the case, because there is no excuse for what he did.

    Well I did watch & hear his interview with the media on SKY Philip so unless it was heavily edited that is what I heard.

    I thought at the time that was a bit of a weird statement to make as it did sound like he may have been siding with the bloke.
