How have I contradicted myself?
As for losing, check the record. How many tattoo's and symbols of the 3 police do you see? Where was the last time you saw a memorial to Redmond Barry, Sgt Steele or Thomas Curnow? How many police were demoted or sacked from the police force as a result of the royal commission? How did policing change for the better after the outbreak? Why did the police agree never to visit the Kelly homestead without a priest if they lost?
What don't I understand? I understand it just fine, maybe that's the problem. I can see the faults on both sides, and see how police actions caused the situation.
