Guardian Australia understands the video relates to legal proceedings from a protester who was charged with assaulting police. They were one of three protesters who on Friday had the charges against them dropped.

Police have now withdrawn charges against four of the 30 protesters charged in the wake of the protest. The three protesters who had their charges withdrawn on Friday were scheduled to face a joint hearing alongside 22 others in July 2027.

A petition launched in June by the NSW Council for Civil Liberties calling for the charges against all the anti-Herzog protesters to be dropped has almost 3,000 signatures.

The petition is an open letter. If you wish to sign it, details are in the comments.

Oh look. Even highly trained cops are corrupt criminals who abuse their authority, assault innocent people, and protect each other like a cartel.

    So, the cop should be on trial for assault now. Right? Right?? Pffft. This is why you never trust cops, sometimes they do their job, sometimes they bash ya.

    They were one of three protesters who on Friday had the charges against them dropped.

    Further evidence that this wasn’t about upholding the law and more about letting fascists beat down protesters.

    The premier, Chris Minns, had previously urged the public “to not look at a 10-second clip without the full context”

    lol

    Teach cops they're not civilians

    Teach cops the public are a slavering horde ready to kill them

    Pass laws preventing liability

    use tactics that force confrontation

    police do violent unprovoked things

    :O

    Sounds like the training they get in Israel.

    For decades Israel has sent advisors to the US to consult police departments actually. In the US, but I would be shocked if the UK and AU didn't follow suit.

    Back in 2017: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/israelis-to-train-aust-forces-on-security/rjxuv9wyw

    Early this year: https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/israel-offers-to-train-australian-police-to-counter-terror-20260103-p5nrc6 I don't know if any actual training came from this 'offer' but the methods the police employed at the Herzog event look pretty suspect.

    All of this support for Israel (plus a couple other things, but mainly this) are the reason why the Labor Party is cooked.

    It is cooked, too. It can’t react to Hanson, it’s like a passenger jet trying to outmanoeuvre a fighter jet.

    Worse still, because the groups attached to Hanson are all anti-Semites (not anti Zionists) they are promoting opposition to Australia’s Israel issue and are co opting it.

    The Labor Party can blame itself for it as well. Kicking around our most disadvantaged at the same time has just made it worse.

    That byelection result in WA is a bellwether for how the country feels. Shame most of us are too prejudiced, too ego driven or too peer pressured to put the vote where it should go.

    🤣 They don't like movies in German?

    And it's not Herzhog (that sounds like pet miniature pig). It's Herzog.

    Yet if someone found him and beat his ass they would be up for decades in prison after a manhunt to find you. But this asshole gets to brag about abusing someone.

    Not as tough as he thinks he is I can tell you that.
