This is beyond horrific. They weren’t in the way, they weren’t being disruptive, they weren’t doing anything except fucking praying peacefully. How dare they assault people PRAYING PEACEFULLY. Fuck the police, this is disgusting.

Bruh. Fuck Minns. Social cohesion is thriving in this video. Not a good look at all. And you can see how the police officers knew it as well because they hesitated a few times

Fucking dogs. Attacking people at prayer? Why don’t they just taser a dementia patient while they’re at it?

All the hate speech laws. All the respect people’s religion.
Absolutely foul.
Vote out Chris Minns.

I am fucking finished with this country.
Every single media outlet refuses to publish these images, and the one they do about ‘controversial’ protestors they fail to mention peaceful protests at all, and they disable all comments except one that says “dont these flogs have jobs”.
It is a DISGRACE what this country is becoming. We are a bunch of neo-liberalist, sycophant, america-fellationing self-centred racist cunts who’s only goal is to brag about our house price and our shitty uninteresting office jobs to our uninterested neighbours. I am sick and tired of it.
Why cant we just get along? And start enjoying life again?

so they’re cool with nazis, not so keen on peaceful protesters. right.

>A hate crime is also conduct publicly inciting hatred of a group of persons (the target group) because of the race or nation
> that would, in all the circumstances, cause a reasonable person who is the target, or a member of the target group, to be intimidated, to fear harassment or violence, or to fear for their safety
By the new laws passed by the Federal government the NSW Police are a hate group.

What the fuck did I just watch. I’ve lived in this country my whole life. I live in the city now. How is this ok

This is now a hate crime. Charge them. Plain as fucking day. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour to pull someone from prayer.

Every video posted is more outrageous than the last. Thank god for people who document these things.
So much for claiming to support peaceful religious expression.

What the fuck Minns? Jeez i don’t think even my state’s premier is THIS harsh on protesters afaik

This is actual hate crime.
Australia has right to freedom of religion, and in this case, non violent people praying people we set upon violently By goon officers.
This will be taken to court, If any of the police or anyone in NSWPOL are reading reddit , your faces are clear and there will be legal action taken against you. the footage has already been sent to Law firms.
You might as well quit now because i can guarantee NSWPOL will throw you under the bus.

What the actual fuck. It does not get more peaceful than a person on their knees in prayer; the action of the police was entirely and grossly unwarranted. How is this acceptable in Australia?! Those at the top and pulling the strings must be so pleased that their machinations are bearing such putrid fruit. Shame on the police and on Minns for setting this in motion. Power to everyone showing up at these protest/rallies.

If you think NSW Police shouldn’t be doing this, you can lodge a complaint here:
Now, if you think these extra powers for police are too much, then you need to contact your MP

So much for social cohesion, Premier. Your actions and the actions of your goon squad, aka NSW Police, are disgraceful. Attacking people for peacefully praying as part of their religion surely has to be a hate crime, no?

FYI looks like that was the evening prayer (maghrib) that has a short time window to pray in, so yes they actually had to pray there and then.

Were they being made to move along, then decided to stop and pray?
This is the type of shit that happens in America. I’ve absolutely lost all faith for this country.

NSW Greens MP Abigail Boyd is in the background of this video, you can see her being shoved back and forth by police as she was standing by the men praying. She’s since posted a photo of her with a neck brace, so she’s clearly been injured by this police brutality.
No one’s safe, not even our elected politicians.

Man as a Muslim this is just wrong. Stupid move to pray like that. That’s just such a bad image and insulting the act of prayer.
You know it’s protest area.
You know things are going to get bad.
Why would you pray there? It’s using prayer to protest. That’s just not okay.
