Some will not agree with how he handled those criminals but he was, is and will remain a hero to many Australians and maybe people outside Australia for what he did.
I'd buy him the most expensive, high quality Scotch on the market.
I think, as a cop, some just get tired of seeing criminals and repeat offenders get a smack on the butt. I'm not even a cop and I'm fuckin tired of it.
Two wrongs making a right never will make sense to me, claiming moral HighGround by being immoral is bs.
@@walterblock5082 well, prison time doesn't do shit for some people. They need a hard dose of their own shit to learn a lesson. And I fully support that.
@@walterblock5082 Sometimes, in order to do some right, you have to do some wrong. Murphy had the nuts and intelligence to see that. It's not like he was bashing speeders.
Police brutality at its finest ! And im sure you would feel a whole lot different if he beat your brother or dad to a pulp ?
I respect the comment that you never go a second time to domestic violence. The first time you teach the abuser a lesson. I respect this man. We are too soft on criminals today and too much victim blaming.
how are gonna know it's not a fake allegation ? Some crazy women even bruise themselves
@@Hshjshshjsj72727 You're right. I made a sweeping statement. A proper investigation should be carried out. Thank you.
@@two-moonz2953 Kudos to you for admitting error. Brian Murphy is just a thug with a badge - his upbringing made him that way. Violence begets violence and his behaviour (which we only have his word for) cannot be checked for effectiveness. Not that I'm saying the law is perfect, but it's what we have.
Unless it's a severe PTSD Delta Force vet that could shoot 10 cops in 1 minute or less.
Gotta have exceptions.
@@two-moonz2953 If guilt is proven without a "reasonable" (I don't mean the legal definition, as that varies from country to country. I still think that prison is generally worse, including death row, as its rarely not just a matter of time before they realize just how wrong they were.
What a documentary!!! This man should be famous, with movies made after him. I'm shocked I've never heard this story before. Thank you for this. God Bless 🙏.
Yep a perfect god clone violent judgemental and utterly immoral
Where have you been, Living under a rock in the outback? Everyone who likes crime stories knows this story
@@gowdsake7103 ummmm….Roger Rogerson?
So you beleive in police brutality ?
@@Tyson13797 🙄 I believe in it because it exists.
I haven't watched yet but if he's killing criminals then it's sounds like they should pin a star on him and hold a parade. I mean he's a hero
Well…someone that commits theft is a criminal, if he murders a thief then he’s worse. So not a full on hero, MAYBE an anti-hero
A person, including this cop can not take the law into his own hand . And you have to be prosecuted to be classed as a criminal ... shooting a so called criminal cannot be shot by a cop on the streets...
His no hero. He murdered a man before he was convicted of any crime...read the old buggers body language.
He's a bully.
.
These Irish Aussie old timers are almost all gone sadly. Different breed running around Aus today
I have never made a comment on these wonderful shows!!! But I am now going to say I absolutely love this Man!!! He is what we need now in the streets!!! He reminds me of my daddy!!! My father was a Constable in Archer County in Texas… My daddy was a character, he was born way to late in life!!! He was 6’5 and looked like James Garner!!!But he was a cowboy through and through!!! He wore his gun on his hip, boots, cowboy hat…Thank you for sharing this!!!
I am obsessed with the Aussie underground I love these the way every story is linked to the next this generation was real 🙌🏼
Well then you should watch the series 'Underbelly' which chronicles the Australian underworld 'characters' through the decades, if you haven't already. Happy viewing.
Agreed
100 % agree underbelly is excellent some good stuff on RUclips too
We need more cops like him. Justice done on the spot.
AKA, lawlessness. How do you think gang wars get started. The first three people he shot hadn't actually committed a crime.
I disagree. Although an awesome inspiring story, we need a stronger community to make crimes like the ones he faced as an individual cease to exist..this man paid a price when he pulled that gun on her at the end..that was the same type of stress he had been doing all that wrong in the name of the law to prevent..in other words, I think his moral of the story should be that we are all human..we have to boil down the drama to neutralize it all. If Mr Murphy faced himself after that incident, would we be watching this short film..that bullshit everyone faces is contagious..our " communities" see this and understand it from time to time yet we are unable to correct it to a point of distinction..Thanks to Mr MURPH' and to the production..
being from the UK where all our politicians and people that are in the public eye have become so PC its a fucking joke, thats why i love watching Aussies cos they've got the bollocks to tell it like it is. It's how we used to be before we become scared of upsetting everyone.
Keep in. I do he did this decades ago mate. We did have cops like this. Trust me.
We need more cop's like him
Aussies are hilarious "THE BASHY'S ON!"
BIG RESPECT from the UK👍🏻😎👊🏻💚🔥🔥
He drew his weapon on his daughter because she slammed a door.
If he reacts that way to his daughter, imagine all the violent sh*t he did on the street when he felt like a citizen disrespected him.
This guy was psychologically unfit for law enforcement.
is that your professional opinion?
efter 7 minutes I stop to see that. too many names to remember! I see this kind program when I clean and do some things at home...if I have to think too much I don't clean hahaha
Same, girl. Same. WAY too many names. I wish they reminded us and/or used more descriptive words about who each person was as they were telling the story, lol.
@@Valeria-mq3qn indeed! I don't wanna think too much when I listen to this kind of programs. Because I don't sit in front of my computer to watch anything, I listen while I do something very boring, like cleaning, washing clothes, cooking...I be distracted and keep doing things. This one drove me crazy, so soon it started with all names hahaha
So criminals "feared and respected him" - isn't that the result we want? If he shot 45 people without killing them, then he was no killer, whatever else he was. His career and the disdain shown him by superiors reminds me of Wyatt Earp. He cleans up the mess - and then they blame him!
Hospital leaving him untreated
For 24hrs. Definetely contributed to his death.
An innocent man. Who lost his life and
No one was held accountable.
Not to be rude but the hospital should have been held accountable due to the hypocratic oath, however, if their rules were you act up you can go somewhere, then it's on dude... he shouldn't have acted like a dipsh-t and maybe he would have gotten help.
@@crunchyyellowlion
OK but can you imagine the pain he must have been in
How reasonable would anyone be in his situation.
I love any type of stories about the history of the criminal underworld in Australia, from Putty 👃🏻 & The painters & dockers / Dennis Allen the headcase/ Rent a kill aka Chris Flannery, “the team” up in Sydney to name but a few & last but my no means least & never to be forgotten Big Mark Read from Melbourne! Interesting stuff to say the least Rest In Peace Chopper 🙏🏻☘️
Is that you NEVILLE??? 🤪
This guy is a hero
What is wrong with killing criminals? I do not have a problem with it AT ALL.
Nothing wrong with saving taxpayers some money.
Hoover Criminals... Look us up
that is immoral
@@woobiefuntime it’s immoral to give a pedophile 5 years for ruining a little girls life or a little boys like me I was molested and they gave the bastard five years he got out and did it again with a little girl maybe if we had a guy like this the pedophile would never have hurt someone again until you’ve been the victim of one of those monsters and seen them get 5 years for what they did to you don’t talk to me about moral
NOT AT ALL!
Retro 1970s Canadian Cops be like.....thats normal behavior. 😁
David Allen sounds like the IRL Trevor Phillips from GTA.
Anyone shocked this happened in Australia?....Didn't think so!
He's right at the edge of being a criminal himself. If he was not checked he could have dove into being one. So, in my opinion, it is good that his supervisors are checking up on him. Also, I bet he had to turn his head a bit for the sake of information he needed at the time to solve crimes while dealing with "informants" who themselves are criminals. That is the nature of it I guess.
Nice to have a real Dick Tracy.. just don't hurt innocent CITIZENS in the cross 🔥!
Charles's Brosnan.
This guy is a hero, but idiots are painting him like he's a bad guy. Remember, criminals thrive on society's leniency.
I've always loved hearing about and seeing Brian Murphy, seen so many docos on Aussies underground world and players, was always a refreshing and straight up chap to say the least lol
So I'm over half way through this doc. , and since the interviewer hasn't asked the cop this question (and I doubt he will), I'll ask.....So WHAT made him THINK the golf clubs was "stolen" ???
For whatever reason, I didn't understand much of what was going on in this episode. However, the one thing I caught was that he would beat the ever-living hell out of women beaters and wasn't called back to their premises for a second time. Hell yeah! I'm all for that; teach them a lesson.
This cop took care of the job in front of him.
When working with shit, sometimes you'll get a little dirty, and carry the stink around with you.
He got out at the right time. Respect to the hard old bastard.
The real life "Dexter"
A real life punisher
Do you think you're overreading this just a little bit? Do you think you're underapplying this just a lot? This line is H.A.M. The classic answer a question with a question tactic never fails.
May this man be remembered as he wished it. That's first and foremost. Second, I admit, I was triggered hard watching this. When it got to the part where the ex con now author started railing on him, I literally started thinking of current events and my life. I've lived 46 years.... 46! Without committing a crime and nowadays people are being let out on a whim, because of living conditions, family life, whatever excuse they can muster... when they started talking about "he's being paid by the criminal" I'm like ok I must be jaded because they let people off softly due to working with police still today.... still I'm furious that they just let criminals go willy nilly these days (2022) we need more like this officer, and not only that, we need to let them have free rein, I bet criminals will be less likely to reoffend if they know a cop could give you the beat down God intends you to have if they want and they won't get into any trouble. Now whether he was a good cop or a bad one is on the word of a criminal? Oh ok, because criminals tell the truth and love cops and aren't biased. Sickening how they treated this poor man.... he should have a damn statue for all the wonderful things he did for Australia. God bless you sir, wherever you are.
Yeah, because cops always tell the truth too right? Not like there haven't been countless of cops, who have committed much more crimes than actual criminals. Like the most notorious serial killer Gary Ridgway, who was convicted of 49 kills and is suspected of doing as much as 90+ and didn't get caught because he knew how to evade the law and did it for almost 20 years. Or the head of the Finnish version of FBI who got medals for being the investigator of the year etc, but was convicted of selling information on criminals, letting murders happen, taking bribes, orchestrating a smuggling of 791 kilos of hashish to Finland, and countless of other things. I could give you thousands of examples why people like this should NEVER EVER let to be officers. You do realize that cops and crooks think alike, they are only the other side of the coin and it is scientifically proven fact. Both try to twist the law for their own advantage, and the more we give freedom to cops to do whatever they want it will turn in to them being even worse criminals because they know how to not get caught. That's why every single officer should have bodycamera's on, and they should count the money and drugs etc on camera. Because it happens way too often that literally whole departments of police, take cash from criminals to themselves and often even drugs. There's even been cases where whole department of cops started killing and robbing drug smugglers, and selling the drugs to the criminals and then busting those same criminals under links for the drugs they sold. People like this should be put permanently in to a mental institution, instead of letting them be in police force. This guy is literally a serial killer, and people applaud him? For the same reason that people want this type of officers, the criminals themselves get equally worse and violent, which then creates longer and longer sentences and harsher and harsher prisons, which create even worse criminals once they get out. We need to break the cycle.
The real 007
Proper cop.....quite the opposite of Roger Rogerson, much respect to Mr Murphy
Ok everyone calls this dude a hero but it begins with him beating some guy to death after wrongfully arresting him…
He didn't arrest him ,2othrr cops did
Why are the office characters kicking JFK'S @$$ in that cartoon? 😆🥊💭‼️
Murphy was a great cop!
You wish
New it All all by legend
Skull played the gangsters at their own game. Respect breeds Respect. The only thing criminals respect is power.
This is messed up...above the ppl az mentally... didn't care about no one but himself thinking wise.. should've went laid it down a long time
I like this cop 👮♂️
'Murican Police academy material
A real copper
that s his job. so no future victims. He just took out the garbage.
It seems impossible to separate the various excrement from the sundry leftovers from a good dinner once it’s all down the pipes and into the sewer.
I’ve no idea how stressful it would be as a common citizen living during those days and nights! A person could be in the wrong place and innocent collateral damage between this prevalent activity!
Well damn-
If our police forces had more like him, things might be different.
Brian Murphy a true Anglo Celtic Australian true to his family and faith
I don't get, what he did to his daughter, when she slammed the door.
Did he shot her (dead)?
His "hmhm" was not clear (for me).
No he didn't shoot. He quit the force to become a better father. He said that at that time he was crazed, and didn't understand why he had drawn his gun.
As he said he wants to be remembered for being a husband and a father.
Simple ,he realized he had enough of being a cop , and was aware of the stress ,of course he didn't shot her ,you need to watch it again ,no ego ,a very honest person ,watch his expressions
44:31 And I thought comb-overs were a thing of the past....
Misleading title, some killed were not engaged in any criminal acts.
Brain murphy must be irish
This was quite something.
@@panther666 Hi Panther
And you know this how exactly?
Disgusting behaviour !! He could of killed inocent people , people saying hes a hero but probs would try and sue if he did it to their family 🙄
He should stand trial for his crimes! No one is above the law…..least of all the police!
Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks that this is awful, not some hero, but someone who took his power and ran with it
He is a heroe. That man put his life on the line every day when dealing with all the filthy crims. They deserve everything that they received. They wouldn't show you any mercy if you got in their way. Be realistic. Each one of that scum were one less for the state to worry about.
Name one crime they had any evidence for? It was made plain that they barely had evidence on an 'okay' copper and it took 5 years and 33 million dollars to convict him of a few counts of taking bribes. Do the math.
I knew him ,he was an amazing person ,he helped me get my life together,don't judge him ,for you are wrong
He was a killer the only difference is that he was working for the state whereas other killers were working for themselves or others.
New subscriber friend
I tell you I grew up in the 70’s in Melbourne, these crims are bad guys but the police in those days were bastards.
Exterminated a lot of thugs
Just reminds me of an old gangster. And we can't have them in the police force, can we? Different times spose. But yea, put a man in a uniform 'n' all that. Great stuff though. Bless and most of all Peace from the UK
35:58 I be interested 2 see how Brian Murphy is living or was living. How big is his house etc? It's obvious he was on the take but he also got results. 37:22 like they just said, he got a green light. He's not gonna admit 2 it tho is he? That's the game! 39:05 lose the hat mate.
With Australia's water front and piracy being a still common practice to being excused from legal practices some how, (a drift) could have been found venturing on to Australia's shore lines with their famous excuse - now or never - personality?
Sure is a good thing this was the seventies because you guys murdered an innocent man blatantly murdered him two on one fight is a blatant murder and nowadays you would go to prison for that murder that you committed you are a dirty cop you killed somebody a lot of stuff is going on in the world today is not of this sort but you and another officer beat a man to death he was in custody in the police station that's murder
Grow up! These dummy repeat violent offenders deserve everything that they get.
The military and police force are the same as gangs just more power. -2pac
Well if pac said it then its undisputable. Military aint no gang. Cops maybe..

He got the job done, look what's walking around are streets now, when I was in trouble in my teens early 20s and started giving the coppers grief in the cop shop, they would give you a few digs and
the last time they done it, it put me on the he straight an narrow!
A few digs lol this man murdered people you mong how many inocents could he have killed !!
Nipper Parr, couldn't agree more. Repeat violent offenders shouldn't have the privilege of a court case. Deal with them there and then. They are only a waste of hard working tax payers' taxes.
69k views... nice😎
All this does is show that law enforcers are bent and think they are above law.
Mr. Murphy appears to think he's above the law and "justified" in all of his actions. What hubris and one of the reasons he should never been allowed to be a policeman 👮♂️ in the first place, as the 1st job of an officer is to "Protect and Serve". Maybe Australia doesn't have "innocent until proven guilty" in their laws.
You're so naìve
@@frankharrington8528, not.
Interesting
And people wonder how murders can kill ,what's the difference between me killing someone or a cop killing someone only justifications ,in the human mind you need only to justift it in your mi b d and anyone and everyone e are capable of murder ,even a 10 yr old. Justification ,gives the mind the Greenwich to pull that trigger ,acting on emotion ,not logic ,people stop thinking and emotionally react fwa r us a strong driver of so-called bloodthurstyness
Is this made to entertain? I truly believe that every dirty cop makes leaves good ones in danger. I hope that this dinosaur is extinct . If no I hope his smug answers haunt him in his retirement.
He's a nightmare.
Nope. Cops are still this out of control.
You mean, the criminal that killed criminals. There fixed it.
You mean - "The law that took justice in his own hands." There! Makes more sense now.
@@larajones175 Actually, no. Cops are not the "LAW". $hit, most cops don't know anything about it. They enforce municipal code. Attorneys deal in LAW. You can't just throw out the entire justice system and start killing those YOU believe deserve it.
If they are like any other cop that killed someone, he lied about what happened. Too bad body cams weren't a thing then. He was already talking about killing someone in prison. And then goes on to tell how he killed The second guy. Sick
They killed an innocent man and got off. That’s hardly justice.
peko!! peko mendez! papa tooie! and thrimp jaffacake! thay nawty! very nawty!🤡
The documentary doesn't say much about how Murphy separated from VicPol or how the police force parted way's with him. Did he take superannuation early, or a disability pension and if so how long has he lived on the public purse!?
what is the difference between a cop and a criminal? the second one is self-employed...
The second one expects Real men to support them . They're failures who refuse to work.
Cops do this today except they don’t try to hide it
Then people scream "wahhhnnnn POLICE BRUTALITY wahnnnnnn" and "DEFUND THE POLICE" and cops walk around with targets on their backs while criminals like George Floyd are praised 😒 p♤$$1€$
@@chelseapthib36 Bullshit. Shooting blacks for speeding because they're scared of black people isn't what this cop did. He had the sack to confront and mix it up with the heavyweights of his time and place. George Floyd was murdered in cold blood for passing $20 bad money for gods sakes. Get a fucking grip on reality
@@chelseapthib36 Right. His long history of crime followed him. He held a gun to a pregnant woman and beat her. He was doped up on fentanyl. A criminal thug is all. I wonder why "All" the victims of Floyd dont sue for their money. Lord knows they deserve it. Look up his record its shocking.
@@meghancass3187 girl, stop the madness. Blacks kill more Blacks than anyone else... check out the FBI stats if you need proof. Or just look at all the gangs in these cities.. fighting for territory and a laundry list of other things. Just look at how many times Chicago breaks records for number of killings in a weekend. People show up by the thousands for someone like Floyd, but where are they for the innocent black children caught in gang crossfire. Call me a racist, idgaf, as if that word means anything these days because it's been used to death. And don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Gangs kill more black people than the cops ever did. I'll pray your ignorant eyeballs have the wool taken off them. Bless your heart.
@@meghancass3187 he died of a heart attack brought on by a self administered lethal dose of fentanyl.
Dirty cowardly cops....Murphy is as guilty as heck.
But thats police work ,that gives them gas gangrene is usually a result of being shot by high velocity rounds of firearms ,mostly military or police issue firearms
A hyper-violent police officer beating an innocent man to death in police HQ.
Why doesn't this come as a surprise to anyone!
This is what it was like back then. The crim should have known, if you disrespect in any way, they will fuk u up. Now they twist you up, about 6 of them in a cell with no camera, they always keep one, for this, twist u on the floor elbows and knees u will scream or your leg or will break. They release pressure slightly, see no marks, then try to nick u for assaulting a cop. I got my solicitor and lthey shit it. I got bail and was only charged with shoplifting so u really shouldn't piss them off
N. Wales police. Also pushed my face into post office wall arresting me, cos I run, knocked a tooth out, banged my head on the car roof, putting me in the car concussed, steroid rage big young cop.
guilty as charged
Didn't watch it all was no need.
This was a different time and most cops simply played follow the leader and Murphy was no hero, just look how Rogerson turned out. Sure tough measures were required back then no doubt about that, although you had to know your limitations. That all said these days the courts are way to lenient with serious and repeat offenders, thus making a cops job difficult at best. Not defending the cops nor the criminals just the system.
THERE IS A SHIT LOAD OF THEM OUT THERE IN AMERICA.
No chance, the Americans usually target people of colour. And they aren't that sharp either.
Bullshit. They shoot and bash blacks for speeding. They leave the real criminals pretty much alone.
Exactly! This isn't the only guy to kill innocent people on force. Have a lot of police where I live that have killed innocent n still on force. Fucked up but its true. Shit we need guys this to wipe out pedos n rapists tbh because they get off too easy or are sheltered in jail n need to be abominated 👌🏽👍🏽
