Description
Show your outrage at so many assaults going unpunished and support Matt Butcher and his family. On Tuesday, legislation to implement mandatory sentences for assaults on police will be before State Parliament. This is just days after the "not guilty" verdict over the assault of Const Matthew BUTCHER which has outraged the West Australian community.
The public and all available police officers need to be at Parliament House on Tuesday to send a message to our MP's that anything less than mandatory jail for assaults on police is unacceptable.
Since Thursday there has been a massive outpouring of community support for Matthew BUTCHER and the State's Police. Support is now needed from all sides of politics.
We want mandatory sentencing and we want it now.
