Queensland cops caught sharing a thuggish attitude of bigotry will not be punished.

The state has a duty not to allow this. Sneering at people with insulting words cannot be a crime, since it is part of freedom of speech. But people who hold an office such as "police officer", which includes special powers over everyone else and special authorization for violence, have a duty to treat the public without bias. If they engage in bigotry, they are not fit for the office. If they promote bigotry among the other officers, they undermine the proper respect for society among the whole body of officers.
