Last night, I found myself scared shitless thinking that a police officer was about to literally rip my head off. I pulled out of the Eureka Pub in Salisbury after Poker. I noticed that there was a police car with it's flashing lights blocking the exit. Out of frustration and annoyance, I raised my hands and said "what the hell is going on here?". I then had no choice but to make an illegal turn to get around the police car. In my head I thought that the officer could have parked his car before the exit because he was blocking it. 10 metres forward would have been a lot safer. So then 30 seconds later I saw a police car flashing the lights, so I got into the left lane thinking that there is an emergency. I was that 'emergency'. I pulled into a near by car park, turned off my car off, wound down my window and waited for the cop to come over. As soon as he was at my window he yelled in my face, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RAISING YOUR HANDS TO A POLICE CAR THAT HAS IT'S EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON?" That was just the beginning. He went on like this for about a minute until I asked if I could explain what I raised my hands. His response, "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHY YOU RAISED YOUR HANDS, YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER TO ME!" He the asked me to turn my car on put my foot on the break. I asked why and he said, "You wanted my attention, well now I'm going to give you my full attention." At that stage another police officer circled us in which Constable J Walls immediately calmed his tone of voice down. I knew the other officer was a higher rank and that Constable J Walls knew he was in the wrong. I asked him in a loud voice why his tone changed when he saw the other police car circle us. He responded that he didn't even see the other police car even though it was metres away form us the whole time. He the made a list of defections on my car. It is frustrating that my car will be defected in 72 until I fix it, but it is not acceptable to be under verbal abuse or being treated like shit by Constable J Walls. When I drove off, a huge wave of shock filled my body and I began to feel traumatised by the whole incident. We have a legal worker at the youth centre that I work at and I'm planning ask for him in making a complaint. I want to get the recording so I can hopefully bring it forth to a Judge and prove that I was on the suffering end of Constable J Walls abusing his power of authority. It has been 24 hours since it happened and I am still feeling a state of trauma. I understand that there are some really good police officers out there, my foster brother is one of them. But it's Police officers like Constable J Walls who make so many people hate them and have no respect for them. I now know what it's like for a young person to be treated like shit my an officer. There is one thing for sure, Constable J Walls Badge No. 39080 will never be able to question why the public treat him like shit.
