Police are furious at outspoken Greens Councillor Jonathan Sri after he sympathised with a knife-wielding man shot dead by police and suggested Queensland officers were racist.
Cr Sri's comments came after 22-year-old Raghe Abdi was shot dead by police on the Logan Motorway on Thursday, after lunging at officers with a knife.

"There was no suggestion that (Abdi) had threatened violence towards anyone else prior to the police being called out, so you have to wonder why police had 'no choice' but to kill him," Cr Sri posted on Facebook on Thursday night, before reports of Abdi's connection to the murder of Mr and Mrs Antill were reported.
