      “The senior officer was attempting to relay that message to other officers who were carrying out a move-on direction during what was a noisy, dynamic and fast-moving situation.

      “However, some worshippers were moved on before the message from the senior officer was able to be relayed.”

      wow, the PR machine is in overdrive

      And there it is folks political division via Minns cohere 

      Premier Chris Minns has doubled down in his defence of the police force, saying “constant protests form a risk to community cohesion”.

      This is just the latest of a series of incidents involving police violence that Minns and Mal Lanyon have handwaved away that turn out to be entirely the police’s fault. They’re being dragged into investigating this misconduct. The footage was always confronting even at the height of their denials.

      We are better than this. We deserve better from our Premier and Police Chief.

      “it’s not our fault don’t you know it’s really hard to communicate well under pressure” – guy whose entire job is to work well under pressure

      The only real “cohesion” that has emerged from this is that of the protest crowd that has won over much of Australia. Stay strong, and don’t give them an inch.

      How did assaulting them by pushing them to the ground assist in moving them on, and not break the law?

      Even though they were given permission to not move on?

      If the orders were to not move them on, why were they assaulted? Habit?

      Everyone is doing labors biding. Be it guardian or abc. The others you already know. No one is recognising the powers they have given to cops will do more harm than good. Give power to cops in domestic violence cases and youth crime not to beat up protesters. The bondi attack was an intelligence failure it has nothing to do with the cops. Minns needs to go yesterday.

      Still all Minns fucking fault. If he just let them fucking peacefully march no violence anywhere.

      And it seemed like that one cop actually tried to make the best out of a shit situation. I’m guessing that guy’s gonna get thrown under the bus for messing up the narrative.
