Fucking hell ABC. We all saw it. It doesn’t matter if it’s legally acceptable, it’s morally reprehensible.
We don’t need a full length article to draw the conclusion we all came to after ten seconds of footage, and we *certainly* don’t need one that pitches this as ambiguous because you got someone who was a NSW police officer *for 30 years* as one of your ‘experts’ to um-ackshually everything.
Obligatory Fuck Murdoch because it was his stooges who did this to the ABC.

Independent investigation now.
Class action now.
I also think every cop that was on duty should be drug tested immediately.

It’s hard to free someone’s hand from underneath them when you’re sitting on their back, punching them 18 times in the head and kidneys.

Bashing people during arrests is never acceptable. Police have tools to make arrests and overcome actual dangerous criminals, they should never be using their fists. It’s straight thuggery.

Are you fucking kidding me? *What the hell is this reporting?* We all saw what happened; this was absolutely despicable. Trying to present it as this ambiguous thing helps no one.
In a democracy, the police work for the people. In an autocracy, the police control the people.
I hope we are still in a democracy.

A 69 year old woman had 4 broken vertebrae after police interaction. Is that reasonable?

This morning I heard Hamish Macdonald (ABC radio) interviewing a woman rabidly defending the actions of the police yesterday. I didn’t hear the start so I assumed it was someone representing the police union the way they defended the indefensible actions. Hamish pushed her pretty hard at least but it was only at the end of the interview I discovered it was the damn Police Minister! Yasmin Catley: https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/ministers/minister-for-police-and-counter-terrorism-minister-for-hunter
I saw the police boss defending the police actions last night as expected but to have him, the minister and the bloody premier defending the police and blaming the protestors is taking it way too far. We might as well have ICE on the streets at this rate.
Why isn’t their pressure on Minns? He should resign. I can’t believe he’s supposed to be a Labor representative.

so good to know no one’s on our side lol.
the cops could have killed someone and the abc will find some expert to be like “well the deceased didn’t cease eye contact after verbal warning so technically under the police rule 22G they’re allowed to execute you actually”
also is this a joke? why the fuck are they even quoting this moron
>”Why that bike police officer did what he did, I don’t know,” said Vince Hurley, referring to the officer’s initial grabbing of the shirt.
>”Whether it was justified or not, of course, is an unknown question, and no one’s going to know unless we can back capture the 30 seconds before that to find out why the police did what they did.”

Removing the ability for peaceful protest, deliberately creating the environment for a pressure-cooker, then using it to justify assaulting members of the public is pretty heinous.
Officers involved with grievous bodily harm should be charged with assault/excessive force; not the kind of humans that should be allowed in the public service.
NSWPF and Minns could have avoided the situation entirely by allowing the standard avenues for protest in the CBD, several kilometres from the service at Bondi.

Excessively reasonable?
Reasonably excessive?
