Teen critically injured, 142 arrests

Teen critically injured, 142 arrests :

"SA Police Assistant Commissioner Brian Fahy, who commanded police operations on New Year's Eve, said 142 people were arrested around the state between 8pm (ACDT) yesterday and 6.30am today, mainly for behavioural and alcohol-related offences."


I lied!!! Obviously Adelaide was not as quiet as I thought. We've had stabbings ( even near where I was!!), broken bottles, people way, way over the limit with their blood alcohol readings and people being injured in brawls. I feel sorry for the police. It would actually be a good thing if they were able to participate in New Year's Eve celebrations as a real and valued part of our community. It's their New Year's Eve too. Truth is, none of this was obvious and it usually is, so I guess most of us got it right and it would be good if we could all celebrate. That would be a mark of a very civilised society, heh?
