It's unbelievable that a serving police officer had that nickname from other officers.

A few of these fellow officers were investigated regarding this nickname and many of them denied it.

No, I've never heard that.

I've never heard him being called that.

I've never called him that.

But enough of them came out saying that it was true, that it really makes you wonder, was there a level of protection between these officers?

Were they covering for themselves now?

Were they covering for each other?

It also came to light that there were a lot of highly inappropriate messages shared in group chats among police officers

many of them Wayne Cousins was a part of.

In fact, a conversation that Wayne had with another officer went like this.

PC Jonathan Cobben had messaged into the chat saying that he had just seen a woman drunk and unconscious as he was getting off of the train.

Wayne texted back, "'Did you finger her to see if she was okay?'

PC Cobben texted back, I considered it, but she was a right old lump.

So I just raped a bystander instead.

Another conversation that they had about the fear of losing their jobs went as follows.

Cousins said, mate, they aren't going to ditch you with your skill set unless you finger a DV victim.

Unless you sexually assault a victim of domestic violence that is coming to you for help.

He quickly follows up with, PC Cobben, if that's the case, you're probably fucked.

And he responds, that's alright, DV victims love it.
