I see Adam west is on the case… interesting.
I checked the VicPolice link given by @barnz and found the article had been moved, so I did a search and found the following under a different heading:
I wasn’t sure where else to put this. Sad news for QLD Police today. Just doing his job and trying to protect society, Senior Constable David Masters (53) was killed today:

This is some sort of rap sheet.
BThe Crimes of Richard Pusey
Fined $210 without conviction for exceeding the signed speed limit.
Charged with intentionally causing injury and intentionally damaging property after an altercation with his girlfriend in which police were called and Pusey was capsicum sprayed. Sentenced to a wholly suspended prison sentence.
Charged with carrying out work without a building permit and failing to comply with a building order. Fined $2000 without conviction and ordered to pay $2500 of costs in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
Traffic infringement notice for low-level drink-driving.
Fined $500 without conviction for contravening a personal safety intervention order.
Fined $500 without conviction for emitting unreasonable noise from a residence.
Found guilty of driving while suspended.
Charged with a number of offences including reckless conduct endangering serious injury and other offences after he opened a gas bottle inside the door of a Fitzroy bar after he was refused service. Sentenced in April 2018 to three months’ time served in prison.
Fined $750 without conviction for a number of charges including intentionally damaging property, stating a false address when requested and contravening a personal safety intervention order.
Fined $750 without conviction for using a carriage service to menace.
Reached into the car of a man and stole his car keys from the ignition after they got into a dispute about a parking spot in the Melbourne CBD. He pleaded guilty to theft.
Cut off a man driving a motorbike down Hoddle Street. The man was nearly thrown off his bike and yelled out in frustration when he drove past Pusey’s Porsche. The motorbike rider parked on Swan Street and Pusey was seen on CCTV driving his Porsche to the same spot and using an object to scratch the paint off the bike’s petrol and oil tank. Charged with criminal damage.
Sent threatening emails to a Westpac employee, calling him a “f—wit c—” and referencing the man’s wife and children, even naming the man’s two-year-old daughter. Pusey was charged with four counts of using a carriage service to menace and has since pleaded guilty.
Physically removed from a plane by police after he started filming the cabin crew on a Tiger flight from Brisbane to Melbourne. He began to get abusive, and said to one crew member: “F— off, you fat cow.” After he was removed, he continued to be aggressive to police in the terminal and was taken to a prison in Brisbane. He was convicted and fined for offensive and disorderly behaviour and being a public nuisance.
Pulled over on the Eastern Freeway for allegedly speeding. While urinating on the side of the road, a truck driven by drug-affected and fatigued Mohinder Singh swerves into the emergency lane, killing four police officers. Pusey films the scene and is caught on body-worn-camera footage saying: “All I wanted to do was go home and have some sushi and now you f—ed my f—ing car.”
Pusey, who had been banned from BWS Fitzroy after he got in a fight with a customer service attendant, entered the store and tried to buy a slab of beer. He was told he would not be served due to the ban. Pusey then dropped the case on the floor. It smashed at his feet, he stepped over the broken bottles and left the store without paying. Charged with destroying property.
Emergency services called to his property late at night and police had to negotiate to get him off the roof. He texted a police officer saying, “I’ll kill everyone then” and “Say sorry and I’ll forgive you. If not I will hang person.” Charged with assault against a woman who was pulled up the stairwell by her wrist before being shown a noose hanging from the beams. Also charged with using a carriage service to menace after he sent abusive and derogatory text messages, including homophobic, racist and anti-police slurs, to police officers in the days prior to the incident
Sentenced to 10 months in jail after pleading guilty to the rare charge of outraging public decency for filming the aftermath of the Eastern Freeway crash. Also pleads guilty to possessing a drug of dependence and reckless conduct endangering serious injury (related to him speeding on the freeway a month before the crash).
Pusey released from jail after pleading guilty and being sentenced to time served in jail on 11 charges relating to six incidents between October 2018 and December 2020, including two road-rage incidents, assaulting a woman, sending menacing emails to a bank worker and smashing a slab of beer in a Fitzroy bottle shop.
His infringements history shows 11 speeding fines dating back to 2000, with the most recent occurring in October 2019.

Obviously an unbalanced, irrational, violent psychopath- not fit to be let loose in society - ever again.

How dumb and pathetic are the media? Stop publicising him, he’d be lapping it up. It’s an insult to the victims and their families. Honestly disgusting.

While l agree this bully is quite a piece of work, one question remains.
Does he barrack for the Blooos or the Pies?
He has been deregistered from holding a licence to practise as a mortgage broker or whatever - a consequence of judicial findings.
He was a high flyer flush with money, now he is a pariah with little scope to earning a living.
I can’t believe he’s been released while the truck driver got life.
He should be serving minimum 10 years Pursey
Um, the truck driver was the one who actually killed those cops while drugged to the eyeballs. Pusey is a ■■■■, was a ■■■■, and probably will be a ■■■■ into the future, but ■■■■ as he might be, it’s a bit rough to argue he should have gotten as long a sentence as the bloke who actually killed the people.

What if Pusey offends?
Just goes back in like the rest of the recidivists.
I said it at the start of this thread, I’m not unhappy he’s out of jail.
Because the police will make life tougher for him out here than he ever would have got in jail.
They will follow him around constantly and pull him up for every infringement. Knock his doors down for a search on the slightest charge. Drag him in for interviews on all sorts of things. They will not forget and they will not let him rest.
My bet is that after a few months of this treatment he will be practically begging to go back behind bars

Reportedly, at one stage of the proceedings for discharge from prison, he asked for his bail application to be withdrawn
My impression is that he has had underlying mental health issues exacerbated by drugs.
