South Australia’s top cop says officers acted professionally during a deadly arrest in Clare, reviewing bodycam footage that shows them trying to de-escalate a volatile situation involving a 44-year-old man armed with a metal pole and threatening an elderly couple. Despite attempts to disarm him and use a taser — which failed — the man died at the scene after first aid. The commissioner’s preliminary view is that procedures were followed, and a public bystander assisted. An internal inquiry is underway, though it’s not being referred to external oversight bodies — a reversal from earlier police minister statements. Investigations continue with major crime and ethics units involved.
