    Victoria’s top police officer Graham Ashton says the trolleyman’s actions could have had dangerous consequences as a fundraising drive to say thank you hits $110,000https://trib.al/iRs7GYe

        Yes it could have gone pear shaped, that is correct. It didn't & regardless that's what bravery is, doing right to help/save others

        Yes consequences may have been disastrous but in the moment he had the courage to step up and have a go. Who knows his intervention may have indirectly saved at least one of the Police Officers lives. Bad judgement call I think made by Police commissioner.

        the cops who were there never told him to get out of their way, and in fact they seemed thankful for his intervention which allowed them to get a shot away , . Seriously how up himself is the so called top cop, . who does he think he is kidding? these donut eaters , .

        At least he had a go. Graham's a fat corridor crawler spending most of his time kissing the coights of politicians. And while the cops on scene eventually did good job, they dicked around for way too long.

        Maybe your police should have neutralized the threat sooner. It looked like the police where not in control of that situation.

        @GrahamAshtonCCP we saw the trolley deflect the attacker away from one of your trainees, which undoubtedly saved his life. You've lost support of even the most loyal pro-police citizens due to your incessant activism, agenda pushing, virtue signaling rubbish. Command are lost.

        Police always say that but citizens are often first responders and can save lives.

        I find it sad that cops no matter the country sometimes act like true babies. What Could have happen didn't happen. But what should have happen is your police should have killed this nut case sooner.

        Sometimes you have gotta go - these lunatics thrive on everyone acting as sheep to the slaughter - no idea if I would have had the guts as this bloke - only admiration for him.
