Tonight's ABC Four Corners Exposes NSW Police Abuse: Jodi Knott's Story

Tonight, ABC Four Corners will air an episode entitled "Brutal Force" looking into the abuse of power by NSW Police. It includes abuse committed in 2023 by two NSW Police officers responding to a woman experiencing mental health challenges. https://bit.ly/4x1jwjh

The woman's cousins had to fight to get the footage released. Now they want the public to see what was done to their loved one, and to know her name: Jodi Knott.

Content warning. The footage is confronting and we urge caution in viewing either the footage or watching the programme. But it is important to for the truth to be made public, to show how people living with mental health challenges have been treated by NSW Police.

BEING and the National Mental Health Consumer Alliance are both appalled at how this graphic evidence demonstrates the vulnerability of people living with mental health challenges at the hands of the Police. Together we have issued a statement https://bit.ly/3RUFkNs and intend to issue a formal media release tomorrow.

You can watch the episode tonight at 8:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview https://bit.ly/4ef0776
