The average civilian has absolutely no idea what’s going on behind the scenes , beyond your wildest dreams people !!!
It's true, the corruption is unbelievable sometimes!
And if you tell people, they say you're a "conspiracy theorist" 🤷
Absolutely! Covid comes to mind!!!!
It's always been like that it's not what you think you know it's who you know that's how corruption erodes Society no such thing as real justice.
The cops further up the "food chain" didn't want her testimony to open up any further questions that could implicate them in Pearce's underworld life.
Wow that’s a thought hey 😳 why else would they change her babysitters 🤔
This is the most disgusting episode in the history of Victoria.
This is the best episode nothing like a bit of karma for the police I mean they are the biggest gang in Australia and all police are corrupt they even tell you this when they say they will always stick up for there buddie even if he is in the wrong no different to any other gang
Planting a .22cal in Jensons car was also to let his mates know that he was unarmed when he was shot. Graeme only ever used shotguns. They were poking the hornets nest and 2 innocent young constables got stung because of them.
Well said.
You make me sick!
You're sticking up for murderers
Sonny, they were only rookies.
this is why only absolute fools would trust a cop.
Amen
This happened all the time how is it only a surprise now? Its a well know fact they murdered many criminals.
Some people within Victoriastan Police and outside of that organisation, know who is responsible for the sawn off shotty ‘Appearing’ in Jensen’s car.
It was a sawn off .22cal.
In those days many bad eggs were taken out the wrong way, but as much as i dont condone it, it worked and worked well. Sometimes justice needs to be in the hands of just a few.
It's the Wild West - so much for upholding the law. A complete disgrace. Bully boys playing childish games with life and death.
truly an amazing crime story to follow
I deleted my first comment cos what I was told interviewing someone in the criminal circles is scary. This was much bigger than people realise and a hefty body count.
Go to the crime section of big footy . com website and do it on the dedicated thread for the case.
A better place to state your story than this platform, you gotta be kidding me 😆
The body count of the humans was enormous. The battle at that time was occurring in the SPIRIT of each creature. Selah
Is this the duty of police to cover up a crime????!!!!!?? 😳😳😳😳😳😳
I'm finding these stories really interesting and compelling.
The series Animal Kingdom is based off the Pettingill family, Kath Pettingill being Smurf, the head of the family.
They're not "stories" These are real events. Please seek psychological treatment promptly
the cops started the war in victoria
I remember and I'm in NSW but it was obvious what was happening
Can I ask you a couple of questions mate?
I'm not a jack if you're wondering.
Snouts in the trough...
It's well known the cops started it all and have been responsible for many "unsolved" murders in Victoria.
Why isn't this about what the Police did that lead to the young officers life being ended?
I think it sort of is mate.. one thing lead to another.
@@Elguapo93 yh but they didnt talk about the crime before that much
33 years today.. time flys
What about Graeme Jenson I appeal to the ex arm robbery squad detectives that murdered him in cold blood to come forward and tell the truth
Got what he deserved
@ALLAN CHARLES if you have to ask that then you have a serious problem!
@Melody Melody so are a lot of police officers.....
tit for tat still makes a rat.
least criminals take a beating like a man and dont cry for paid leave and compensation even though it is stated that "you may be harmed" doing this job....
@Melody Melody Shut-up what would you know girly. & what do you call the cops that Murdered him & placed a firearm in his car & then all lied in court? They are Scumbags.. But isn’t it amazing when they get shot it’s a outrage but when they murder a man it means nothing to them or the media.
& the only vermin are peadophile’s & rapist’s & sex offender’s. Graham was a criminal a bank robber & should’ve been arrested & jailed not murdered in cold blood that’s a pathetic police force that does that….
@@joe-dirt697 Can just tell you have a room temperature IQ from your comments
This is frightening
I remember just up the street from my place two crims decided to hold up the local real-estate office and when the one with a gun walked out he was shot and the other guy unarmed walked out next and put his hands up they shot him as well
Hampton Park 1994 ? .
Well he was committing a crime, regardless of where he had his weapon at.
@@brownwolf152last I checked we didn’t have the death sentence in Australia then, and that’s the law as well.
@@Adam-ox6zy that's because your not from Australia mate.
What about Gary Abdullah? Murdered by police as well.
Apparently He was the guy who would go around stealing cars to be used as the gangs getaway vehicles after doing hold ups
@@masterman724?
Police officers are frightened of other police officers criminals are killing authority figures also jail officers take tge lives of prisoners doing their time after justice. Do your job or should be deemed incompetent in that sector of employment. This is highly disturbing.
It still happens today.
Have a look at who in the medical field are being gagged and silenced through this “pandemic”.
Its sadly too late to tell the truth! Everybody is deceased. The damage is done. The grieving families deep down know the truth, and there will be no consequences because the cops are always protected. If she starts talking again, they will off her!
the crims used to call the armed robbery squad ? 'the murder squad' . but killing those young cops was just as bad
Graeme never had a weapon on him! He was set up!
Rest in peace no one deserves to be treated like this no matter what job the person has
I am sure that is how the bank robber felt when he got murdered though
Sorry guys, but Victoria Police??????? hard to sympathize after what we have seen lately
This is going to have a back lash ..Truth always comes out
Really nah let it go
? these murders happened 33 years ago... the 'culprits' were aquitted in a court of law...
Armed robbery squad started that war
Of course
The criminals committing the armed robberies in the first place started it all. Pierce and his crew chose to become criminals, so it's their fault.
The young counstables looked like brothers.
I'm amazed there's a comment section. Usually just about every other form of nanny state Australian news media is censored!
100% true. I actually came here to see if the comments were turned off.
@@endzhere1638 Most people in Australia think we live in a free democratic society but that's total bullshit. Like the frog that slowly and unwittingly boils in a pan of water, our freedoms are being dissolved away. They do it just slow enough that people generally don't notice. We should've amended our constitution when the opportunity arose during the 1999 republic referendum, to something similar to the Americans in regard to the freedoms of an individual. But apparently our country lacks the strength and conviction to stand on it's own feet separate from the commonwealth.
@@X-Gen-001 I agree. Part of the reason I'm leaving Australia in 6 months. Too many restrictions and regulations. Price rise on everything. Ridiculous housing costs. I'm done with it.
@@endzhere1638 Hah yep, us too. You'll be heading off about 6 months before us. We have family in US. I wish you all the best mate. Cheers to freedom.🍻
@@X-Gen-001 Good luck with ur move. Hope it all works out for you. I'm off to Thailand can't wait 😁
Nothing more dangerous than human beings.
Especially one with badges and guns
My word. Don't know what to say. Very interesting
Corruption at its best
If anyone was around the criminal scene down Melbourne around the 80s they will know cops bac, then was dirty as fck, they held a licence to do crime.
The Masons “G”
Nothing's changed, and it isnt/wasn't just Melbourne either. All police forces the world over are corrupt scumbags.
@@hepburn118 weird as it may sound . The Jesuits the Shot Callers
@@hepburn118 It’s not as bad as it used to be. Coppers go through a strict vetting process these days (in the uk anyway). I know plenty of good coppers. Yes you do get some bad, but they are definitely in a minority.
@@eddie4324 they are all dogs.
Wendy did come forward and stated who did what.
Seeing as they were already acquitted they could not be recharged unless the double jeopardy rule was relinquished, then they could be.
wondering if this videographer was a sweeper before? looks like he's handling camera as a broom.
This isnt breaking news this has been in numerous books already about the walsh st murders
Who claimed it is breaking news?
The series Animal Kingdom is based off the Pettingill family, Kath Pettingill being Smurf, the head of the family.
Corruption everywhere
Proper old school banditry
Does not matter if they wear uniforms or not they still belong to a family, has anybody got any respect any more how would you feel if your family never came home
So does that same outlook still apply for the Jensen family too?
There should be a statue of Victor Pierce erected on Walsh Street. Serve as a reminder it can happen again.
@@marksuckaturd5098 spot on! FTP they copy there right wack!!!
POLICE LIE DONT DO THERE JOB
how can you believe anything any of them say.
So very terrible 😞 😢
I feel sorry for those young constables my condolences to their families
If , It was not the first time things
like this happend.
Very sad for the young Constables
Sad. I remember.
The fish rots at the head.
He chose to do the job 💁♂️
Someone has to.
I’m looking forward
my family was involved in this ill leave it at that but the cops called our side and told us it was war and they would start shooting during arrests fact
Who's your family?
Are you mate's with Macca?
@@marksuckaturd5098 -- why Macca? How did you come up with his name?
Ouu we might we be related then scott...
Would your surname be Pettingil?
Ridiculous isn't it ....
why was the police crew changed? who made the decision?
So...starts with faulty or nonexistent deconfliction between departments...the metaphor for which is 'friendly fire'...
I used to know Anthony as young teenagers he was a lovely young kid . He died of cancer
Why is he sweating so much? Is HE speaking truth here🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
He is under strong TV lighting. This is definitely the truth. It’s not the first time that this has been suggested. Victorian police were literally lawless in the 80’s. They were also dealing with crime families that were equally as lawless.
And a dry mouth.
@@martinwarner1178 he was a heroin addict!
That's WHY he's sweating... because he IS telling the truth and he's extremely uncomfortable about it because he's thinking about all the Senior police that would be watching.
@@Michelle-pc6gp if they tried to speak out they received threats including death threats themselves, happened to the detective in this clip
what goes around comes around beautiful karma.
11:50 a brother hood lol,. Not a gang of terrorists, not a free mason cult thing no not at all,
They made a movie about this, "Animal kingdom". Good flick.
The American TV series Animal Kingdom is also about the Pettingill family, Kath Pettingill being Smurf in the series
@@rebelrob9637 the American show is crap .
The car is his weapon lol
why add the part "in cold blood" ? i mean, would it make any difference at all if it was "in hot blood" ?
It’s a legal term. It’s kinda saying why add the part “1st degree murder”? Would it make any difference at all if it was 2nd degree murder. And the answer is yes, yes it make lot of difference in the amount of prison sentence you get.
the mother was a one eyed collingwood fan
I have never committed any crime and have never been arrested for anything. Hence, it goes without saying that I am not on the side of criminals. However, the families of these 2 policemen must ask the Victoria Police Commissioner what did the Victoria Police do to criminals that caused them to ambush and gun down 2 members of Victoria Police in cold blood. Criminals do not go out of their way to make themselves public enemy #1 by killing police in cold blood without getting a single dollar in return for it.
Damn he nervous...
He got away with killing 2 cops. Hes terrified he will say the wrong thing and get locked back up.
@@davidwight249 who are you talking about
I remember meeting Damian when I was young, my dad and a few other cops were going camping and we stopped past to pick his dad up.
I remember coming home from school and my mum was in tears about the news .
The world Gang of Law Enforcement
This was common even today in South East Asia where police just Judge Dredd the criminals on the street.
And so in Western nations.
Good on you for being brave enough to tell truth. Respect ❤🙏
Pity it didn't happen at the time but good on you for doing it eventually.
I'm sorry to the father who lost his son..
But if the police didn't murder a man then there wouldn't have been retribution. So go after the dodgy murderous police.
Are you blindly believing the words of a convicted corrupt cop who provided this account in exchange for monetary benefit?
@@mutchumbo in this case I feel the corrupt cop has decided to clear his conscience and is now telling truth.
Very sad may they rest in peace
R.i.p Graham.
hi, could you post Madeleine McCann's Sunday Night episode that aired in 2011? I want it in good quality, with these watermarks "SN" and "7'. Please, thank you so much in advance.
We only have one chance in life to do the right thing before life ends… Wendy kindly, please do the right thing, and give the power of peace… and closure from a right conscience!
What about Grahame Jensons family?
I couldn't see Wendy coming forward & telling the truth not in a million years. Sadly She is going to take this to the grave.
They can’t be retried, there is a law saying if you’re acquitted off something, you cannot have a retrial of the same offence.
16:34 wtf is that thing.. half man half grandma
Its the result of long term methadone use. !
@@lexistorer8204 ant had cancer
The jacks lol
PREMITATED MURDER LORD GOD please take control of these demons...
Daily occurrence in the states since obams let it be quietly known open season on our law enforcement. RIP Officers. To all of them
Rip to the 2 jacks God bless you both heart goes out to your family shocking case hope justice is done
Jenson looks like Owen WILSON
Nice monaro
Why not just arrest Jensen at his house, instead of following him to a public place?
Arrest him for what? They had no evidence to prosecute.
@@SteveRadich1928
Possibly not. He was suspected of several robberies, so they might have recognised him from CCTV footage. I thought perhaps they followed him to the shopping centre because they thought he was going to commit a robbery there, but they watched him purchase the spark plug and then leave the place.
Because they wanted to murder him. Like the ex cop that was part of the surveillance unit said, they used them to track him down. Then they ambushed him in public.
@@SteveRadich1928exactly . The armed robbery squad already had the person responsible for the armour guard robber . So why’d they come after Jensen …..
Heard the shots from my cremorne home.
Its on the other side of the river and possible as they fired 12 gauge shotguns and a pistol. You would hear it easily at that time of morning. You would have heard it all the way down at chapel st.
cops recording interview between lawyer and client. so it wasnt just lawyer X.
Fraser was an interesting lawyer????
Career over thanks for your service
It's time for everyone to tell The Truth, both sides.!
U think guilty ppl just decide nah lets tell a storie?
When it comes to this, noone will own up
Yeah. It was worth it James because before I saw this I never thought anything of you and now I do.
You are a nice guy
A disgraced police member who is happy to make allegations against his colleagues - without proof - and the other side were lowlifes ..
because corruption was and is still rife amongst the police force .. he may have been disgraced, but he is not lying.
@@kentbrockman2631 And how do you know that?
@@donwood9396 I'm a body language expert.
@@donwood9396
You should check out the video of the interview with a drug-addict, sex worker in Sydney named Sally Anne Huckstep during which she made allegations against the corrupt cop Roger Rogerson that Rogerson had murdered her boyfriend. The 60-minute program edited out her allegation of Rogerson murdering her boyfriend because they were afraid of being sued by Rogerson for defamation. Well, forward a few decades and guess what? Sally Anne Huckstep was murdered many years ago, and Rogerson is currently in jail serving a life sentence for the murder of a drug dealer. Just because Huckstep was a drug addict and a prostitute does not make her accusations against Rogerson untruthful.

Every time I try to type what I think of her, yt deletes my comment.
I hope she roasts.
oh wow theres a movie about this story- animal kingdom
21.47 ...... he was praying to Lucifer for sure
Cant believe comments are allowed
They took a man who was loved! Sure he made mistakes in his PAST, however he did his time and paid for it. He had a family too! He touched mine and my brothers lives that too this day have let me know I was loved! No I’m not his daughter but he loved me like one. His death broke my heart!
I did not know him but met his brother years before.
Taking down those ruthless robbers was important. The murdered cops a tragedy.
Ummmm, yes taking them down for sure…..planting evidence after a planned murder…..i don’t think so 👎🏼
@@QueenE31 desperate measures in desperate times.
@@pieterniemandt3402
Riiiight 🥴
Were the robbers caught?? I must of missed that part.
@@stixstoner7170 OK. You have a point. But l hope they stopped their crap then knowing they are seriously on police radar.
Rest in peace taken to soon
Well to bad
