Aussies react to shock arrest video of young Aboriginal woman in tiny town

Aussies have questioned the use of force used by officers during the arrest of a young Aboriginal woman in Western Australia. Officers detained the 25-year-old woman from Millars Well, a town about 540km northeast of Exmouth, after she allegedly breached bail conditions on Monday. Footage of the arrest, shared on Facebook, shows the woman screaming as she is pulled from a car, handcuffed on the ground and carried by two officers to a van. As a crowd gathered outside the home, a female officer was seen gesturing with a can of pepper spray to try and stop them from approaching. Another police vehicle with more officers arrived as the woman was put in the van. At least two male officers could then be seen approaching the group and pushing them away from the police van. Shocked viewers questioned the officers' use of force in the comments. 'I legit got tears. This is very triggering,' one person wrote. 'There was no need for this kind of force,' a second said. 'If they don't know how to work with mob, why don't they talk to the elders in community and get help,' a third commented. 'This town is not far from where I live,' a fourth added. 'This behaviour by police is so unnecessary!' The woman was not injured during the arrest and no medical assistance was required, WA Police told Daily Mail Australia in a statement. The woman was arrested for allegedly breaching her bail conditions by being at a home in Millars Well. 'It will be alleged as the woman was being arrested, she obstructed police, locking herself in a vehicle,' police said in a statement. Officers were called to the home about 10:30am on Monday after an alleged physical altercation between people known to each other. Police had responded to an incident at the same location earlier that day. WA Police declined to comment on the way officers handled the incident. The woman has since been charged with one count each of obstructing public officers, common assault in circumstances of aggravation or racial aggravation and possessing a prohibited drug, methylamphetamine. She appeared in court on Monday and is next due to appear before the Karratha Magistrates Court on July 29. The arrest video came just days after the shocking death of an Indigenous man Kumanjayi White at a supermarket in Alice Springs on May 27. NT Police last week said White 'stopped breathing' after he was restrained by two officers and confirmed the death is being investigated on behalf of the coroner. It is the second death to rock the small Yuendumu community and comes six years after Kumanjayi Walker was shot dead by NT Police officer Zachary Rolfe.

Police foil terror plot on King's Guards: 'Lone wolf' stopped from carrying out attack on Britain's streets

Police have foiled a terror plot on the King's guards after a 'lone actor' caused a 'huge security scare'. The 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and arson in Slough last week at the Salt Hill Activity Centre, near Windsor Castle. It comes as military personnel at a barracks close by were warned not to leave the grounds in uniform, with the alert remaining in place for two days. A source told The Sun: 'The suspect is feared to have been plotting an attack. 'Police informed bosses at the barracks and measures were taken immediately despite him already being in custody. 'It was a huge security scare. But it was in the interests of everyone's safety.' Thames Valley Police confirmed that while in custody on Sunday, the man was re-arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts. Counter terrorism Policing South East are now leading an investigation into the events which took place at Victoria Barracks - home to the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards. Police have confirmed they are stepping up patrols to reassure the public of their safety.

EXCLUSIVE I've been publicly crucified for arresting a knife-wielding teenager: Policeman sacked after 10 years' unblemished service gives his side of the story about divisive video

All week, the tributes have poured in. Those whose lives were touched by PC Lorne Castle haven't hesitated to come forward. One woman's account of how her son's life was saved by his 'kindness and humanity' and willingness to 'go beyond what is expected of a police officer' is particularly moving. She wrote about how the troubled teenager lost his way in life and became known to police, who were forever having to bring him home. It was PC Castle, himself a father of three, who ended up talking her boy down from the ledge, in a metaphorical sense as well as a literal one.
