Excerpt:

An Aboriginal man says police officers threw him off his bicycle, pinned him to the ground and called him a “black c—” while he was riding to work at dawn without his bike lights on.

Robinson Gill Lawyers principal lawyer Jeremy King, who is representing Mr Penny, said police undoubtedly used “excessive force” and called for those responsible to be disciplined and for IBAC to investigate immediately. “Kory has been violently assaulted by Victoria Police and racially vilified. Victoria Police have a lot of questions to answer.”
