In footage earlier played in court, Joel Clavell called police "dogs" and "mutts" and wanted officers to drop their guns so he could chop their heads off and become a "martyr".
"You're in an outback area. This is not how you're going to be a martyr mate," one officer told him in body-worn camera footage released by the County Court of Victoria. Vision showing the moment Joshua Clavell was shot by police after charging at Victoria Police officers with a hatchet has been released.
