I usually default to the side of the police, but the protestors couldn't have been morepeaceful here.

Fuck I hate reddit.

If you want a crazierfuckingvideo, look what happened when the coppers came across some Muslims in the middle of prayer, including some of the protest organisers in yellow.

Unfortunately reddit is the only source I can find right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/1r00oj1/nsw_police_assaulted_muslims_praying_peacefully/

Not only does he have his hands up, it looks like he's actually trying to help the cop steady himself when he trips on the bicycle.

ACAB

Why does Israel's cock continue to be stroked? I don't understand

of course, colonists who have committed genocide will support eachother.

Was that at Flinders street station?

Fucking cops escalated as if they just like punching people.

Well that was totally uncalled for

Hope the dude with his hands up gets ahold of this he was beaten because a bike cop tripped over his own fucking bicycle.

Funny people sitting at home in Australia thinking what’s happening in the US can’t happen here. When it’s already happening under a Labor government.

Chris Minns is a fascist genocide supporter

Should be a wake up call to my fellow Aussies. It ain't just a Yankee problem, the police are a problem everywhere. So many Aussies forget that our pigs have only been well behaved for a couple decades. The rest of our history is rife with them being demonstrable monsters.

I hope the people of Sydney keep protesting today after this. Every one of these policemen need to be held accountable, there is no justifiable context for this.

Oh, so literally all cops are bastards.

ACAB - idiots shouldn't be cops, but that's all they'll hire

A bit off topic, but is it mandatory for Australian police to wear that mustache?

Yeah I can't defend that, looks like the officer freaked out when there was no need to

It looks like the person with his hands up was trying to help the cop that fell off his bike. The second it looks like he is touching that cop some other cops start attacking him mercilessly and without much thought. The bike cop seems to be putting himself in that situation and being violent with protesters for no clear reason.

Does that seem to be the case?

So protesting the nazi "state" head visit will get you beaten up also in Australia? Fuck the whole "western" society. Down with israel, death to IDF.

People with no self control shouldn't hold responsible positions. If your having a bad day you shouldn't be in a uniform dealing with people. Goes for any job, not just cops. Imagine if nurses behaved like this, punching every patient who pissed them off. Yet they get paid less than police for some reason.

I am not anti-police at all. Strongly disagree with the ACAB bullshit in Australia. Some cops are bastards for sure. I think they have a tough job and an important one even if their recruitment and discipline sucks (less so in Australia than the US but we could do better). I feel particularly sorry for the ones who get shot dealing with cookers and some of the stuff they have to see and deal with.

If the police service can't self discipline and weed out the trigger happy snowflakes then the public lose faith in them. They need to put cops like this on suspension and retraining. They might not have the right personality for this sort of work. It makes them look week. If your an agitator and want to start a riot it is so easy to bait weak minded law enforcement.

I love how bitch boy looks like he's putting everything into those gut punches like he's in a movie, only for them to barely even wrinkle homie's shirt.

What's the context of this? Was the bike cop trying to arrest the guy?
