Being racially abused and spat on are two of the most disrespectful things that can happen to a person, so imagine having to endure them both at the same time. From an 11-year-old punk who thinks he’s in a Call of Duty chatroom, no less!
This PSO over in Melbourne, Australia, wasn’t having it:
It was pleasantly surprising to see Chief commissioner Shane Patton defend the PSO to the press, as there was some debate whether this was an appropriate way of dealing with an unruly child:
You call it a slap, I could call it a redirection strike.
There’s no doubt he’s been struck, it’s redirected his face, as you’ll see, away from her. It stopped any further threat, so that is that.
Mr Patton says the incident has been looked into by police and “at this stage we’re comfortable with what’s been done in relation to the matter”.
As are we. Lesson learned for that kid, hopefully.
