“So be careful. What we’ll end up with is a death. We’ve seen that before. What you see on social media is not evidence and the people feeding this don’t have the skills or the knowledge or the information that police have in doing their jobs.” Carroll pointed out the strain caused by the vigilante behaviour on police resources, after a wall of officers was present to stand between the angry crowd and the Rockhampton house.
“You looked at the amount of police that were there yesterday, they would be better off spending time investigating [the alleged crimes] themselves and working out in the community,” she said.and Townsville locals against such behaviour., who was allegedly killed by a man involved in a “vigilante” pursuit, had shown the “devastating” consequences of taking the law into your own hands.Asked to condemn the vigilante behaviour, Palaszczuk would only say she was “very concerned”.
