What is going on with clashes between supporters and police last weekend? And leading to two supporter group walk outs?
The RBB certainly contain a big element of nut jobs looking for a fight (and it was a sold out derby match so the police might have been a bit hyper-vigilant), but come on … Brisbane? They’re a bunch of pussy cats and most of the ones on video looked about 14 years old.

Re: Supporters & the Police - Don’t stand so close to me
What actually happened?
I have not seen any video.
Was it all blown out of proportion?

Re: Supporters & the Police - Don’t stand so close to me
It is very difficult to say, as South Australia has police appear to have a culture regarding sports that appears more aligned with Western Australia and Victoria than NSW or Qld. Hence we tend to lack a point of reference when it comes to these types of interactions.Was it all blown out of proportion?
Having a stadium dedicated to football helps; of that I am certain.

I'm sorry blahblah but that confused me a bit.
What is the difference between the states when it comes to policing our game?

Re: Supporters & the Police - Don’t stand so close to me
Essentially each state police department in Australia is independent. As such each has different training, different policies and a different management culture. South Australian police have a more inclusive, community centred approach (partly as a result of having less people and operating in smaller communities). It doesn't make them perfect, however does make them easier to reach and have meaningful discussions with over issues such as active support at football games.It is very difficult to say, as South Australia has police appear to have a culture regarding sports that appears more aligned with Western Australia and Victoria than NSW or Qld.

So this is why Australia has racist, homophobic, misogynistic policing in some states?Essentially each state police department in Australia is independent.

Some state police departments do better than others, in this regard.So this is why Australia has racist, homophobic, misogynistic policing in some states?Essentially each state police department in Australia is independent.

It helps explain why the problems between police and activie support that make the news appear regularly come from the same few places.
Not to say the others are perfect, however their incidents of police-community grief are significantly less.

There is still a long way to go.
