The president of Queensland’s police union has claimed officers feel “under siege” and have been tarnished as misogynists during a commission of inquiry into police responses to domestic violence.
Ian Leavers, who has led the union since 2009, gave evidence on Friday at the inquiry in which he conceded that “abhorrent behaviour takes place”. But he said officers should not be “hung, drawn and quartered” over making “a dumb, silly comment”.
