    What the fuck were these cops on last night? These punches to restrained people were insane.

  2. What’s the legislation around cops just laying into you? I’m trained in disability support and we’re only allowed to use holds during the worst of times. A punch would mean losing your job, would have thought the same for cops

  3. Former prison officer here. Had to restrain and cuff actual hardened crims many times. Never punched anyone in my life. Pathetic and weak police work honestly.

    Oh look, people in positions of power abusing power, shocker. Fire their ass into the sun.

    So many of these cops are those lads that see the red mist and get a rush from battering people with their mates. It’s sickening

  6. These pigs are scum. They will receive absolutely no consequences for this, as always. How can I not hate cops when I keep seeing shit like this? Cunts.

    Surely there’s a good reason they just punch repeatedly while he’s detained on the ground face down? /s

  8. This is making me sad and scared at the same time im fucking crying. I dont want that kind of thing becoming a norm here. Or anywhere in the world for that matter.

  9. Before you jump to criticism, if that cop didn’t get to beat up a restrained protester he’d have to take it out on his family when he got home.

    Hi all,

    You’re seeing one video and the angle.

    On the other side, he bites the officer and grips onto his hand – you then see him punch his head to let go which he doesn’t – then the other officer lays into him to make him let go.

    He’s holding onto this hand the entire time.

    The cop then says he’s let go when you see him stop punching into the side

    Watch it again, you see it very clearly.

  11. I was furious at this video.

    It really made me sick to my stomach.

    Then a comment pointed out that the guy on the ground is doing his absolute BEST to fucking BITE the cop.

    He manages to latch on and it appears every blow is in an attempt to get him to release his fucking BITE.

    I am against this, and there should be consequences, but that is a HUGE mitigating circumstance.

    Biting is the worst thing we can do with out bodies, teeth tear flesh, spread pathogens, create serious long lasting damage.

    I dont condone this at ALL, but it does add a TONNE of context to why these officers acted like they did.

  12. What the fuck is going on? NSW police to behave like this really doesn’t help with trusting them when in situations you need to. These people aren’t protecting. They’re acting like fucking ICE in the US. Fuck off!!!

  13. The video does show the “Protester” biting down hard on the Police Officers hand and not letting go.
