Here in Qld. Australia we have an officer who has been charged over a death in custody. Without going into too much discussion over the situation (much of which has to do with politics!) I do want to comment on the support by his fellow officers.
The Police Union came up with the great idea of officers showing support by buying a blue arm arm with his registered number on it ($5) to help with funds whilst he is stood down without pay and in a quiet way to make own protest.
It was such a success they sold out in under 3 days. I thought it might be an idea to share with other unions/associations who need to show support for members who also find themselves in difficult situations.
