Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) police brutality THERE'S no need for an independent investigation into the arrest of a young man at the Sydney Mardi Gras, Police Minister Mike Gallacher says. But police announced today that it had launched two internal investigations after video footage surfaced on YouTube of an officer throwing a handcuffed and shirtless teen, Jamie Jackson, to the ground and stepping on his back while he was celebrating Mardi Gras. The NSW Greens and a City of Sydney councillor have called for an independent inquiry into the matter, saying the investigation shouldn't be left to police. Mr Gallacher says the NSW Ombudsman will review the incident and an additional investigation is not necessary. "For anyone to suggest that the ombudsman is not independent, they're being very, very unfair," he told reporters in Sydney on Wednesday. "I'm satisfied the ombudsman is independent, is truly independent of the NSW Police Force Mr Jackson has been charged with assaulting police, resisting arrest and using offensive language in public. The 18 year old updated his Facebook status this morning with: "IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!" "I just watched that video which I believe is you in it being completely mistreated by the police. I hope your okay and I'm so sorry something like that has happened to you," one Facebook friend wrote.
