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.
[Video] Australian police violently beat up protester with his hands up at demonstration against Israeli president Isaac Herzog visiting.

the police are a problem everywhere.
And yet no other city or town experienced these issues. It’s a NSW Police and Sydney culture problem.

Just because you aren’t paying attention, does not mean it’s not a problem. Yes the other protests went well, but consider if there were more Chris Minns. Imagine if One Nation is in power, how would they utilise the police? They are only as good as the person giving them orders. This is why they are a problem everywhere.

Two of my friends want to join WAPOL and they are both nice women, but I wonder whether the cop culture will chew them up and spit them out, or turn them into bastards.

Lived in WA most of my life, never had a problem with WA police.
Last time I visited Sydney in 2019 it began to feel like a city from another country and the police presence was a large part of that.
One thing I’ll never shake is the guards stationed outside the AFP building in the CBD with automatic weapons. Only places I’ve ever seen a sight like that are places like Mindanao in the Philippines, where insurgent terrorists are a real threat.

It will. all cops are bastards.

Fucking cops escalated as if they just like punching people.
sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Murican cops do. They form little clics over how quickly they’ll escalate. Is Australia borrowing some of ours?

Yup.

Yeah I can’t defend that, looks like the officer freaked out when there was no need to
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Freaked out or was itching to punch someone? Lots of thugs go into these jobs for this exact reason.
ziltoid101@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

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

Woah, appears to be.

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

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. 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 people like this.

Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, this would be classified as Nazi-punching, and thus based antifascist praxis.
MisterFrog@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism is fucking stupid.
Anyone arguing criticism of a STATE is racist is fucking stupid.
maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago

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.
observes_depths@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
What’s the context of this? Was the bike cop trying to arrest the guy?
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
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.
galoisghost@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Hope the did 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

NSW Police like spending tax payers money by assaulting people. A friend of mine bought their first house with a hefty payout after being assaulted.

Is the bike attached to him somehow?
Gets his foot stuck in the frame at the end but unclear what’s going on at the start.
geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
No. He rode up on the protester, stepped off his bike on the wrong side (putting the bike between himself and the protester) and then tried to stumble over his own bike to the protester. Maybe he thought the bike would disappear in his inventory slot when he got off it like it’s Pokemon.
