New vision of the police Mardi Gras incident has emerged A Mardi Gras reveller who was handcuffed when police apparently threw him to the ground has been charged. Jamie Jackson the Mardi Gras reveller at the centre of the YouTube clip. Picture: Facebook Source: The Daily Telegraph 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. 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. I was in total shock when that officer threw you onto the pavement.. No one ever deserves that kind of treatment and disrespect. Looking at how this has gone viral and the shares, something will be done about this and not be ignored. Hang in there Jamie x," another responded. Jamie's father Stephen Reed said his son was a "good kid." "I had no idea about it until this morning until I got a text at 7am saying 'oh my God, Jamie is on TV'," he said. I'm devastated. He's not a big boy ... and seeing him being thrown around like a rag doll and (police) stepping on him too ... I'm still a bit shaken up by it. Mr Reed said he had been unable to contact his son, who lives in the Sutherland Shire, since the incident. No one can find him. He lost his mobile on that night and we haven't been able to contact him since," he said. (Jamie's relatives) are just angry at police, at that one policeman. Whatever happened before (the footage started) he shouldn't have been thrown like that, it's just dangerous. Assistant commissioner Mark Murdoch said officers from Fairfield and Parramatta will be investigated internally. We have initiated two internal investigations. Both those investigations have been referred to our Professional Standards Command," he told reporters this morning. Those investigations will be oversighted by the NSW Ombudsman and Police Integrity Commission should they feel fit to do so. I should also make clear both incidents now the subject of criminal proceedings, both of which are before the courts and I need to be measured about what I make comment on. In the first incident at 10pm, we will allege the young man used offensive language, assaulted police and then subsequently resisted arrest. In the second incident at 11.30pm we will allege the gentlemen assaulted a sergeant. Both incidents occurred on Oxford St but were separate. Mr Murdoch said there was obviously more to the incidents than what appears on YouTube. Sydney MP Alex Greenwich has also expressed concern at video footage of a police officer's alleged brutal treatment of a reveller at this year's Mardi Gras. Mr Jackson is seen crying and repeating that he "didn't do anything wrong." An officer is then seen to throw the man, who has his hands cuffed behind his back, to the ground before standing with one foot on his back for at least 20 seconds. "Following vision of the event being made available to police, an internal investigation will be launched to determine the full circumstances leading up to and surrounding the incident," the officer said.
