Police culture including how officers treat people suffering mental health episodes is under scrutiny again, but one premier insists it's not a widespread problem.
Footage from 2023 showing two NSW Police officers bashing a schizophrenic woman who was having a psychotic episode has sparked condemnation after it was released to the ABC's Four Corners program.
It showed Senior Constable Nathan Black and Constable Timothy Trautsch - who have both since been sacked from the force and jailed - pepper spraying 48-year-old Jodi Knott in the eyes and genitals, kicking her, stomping on her and dragging her by the hair.
Premier Chris Minns confirmed he had seen the vision and labelled it "shocking", but denied his state's force had a problem holding its officers to account.
