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Police have now withdrawn charges against four of the 30 protesters charged in the wake of the protest. The three protesters who had their charges withdrawn on Friday were scheduled to face a joint hearing alongside 22 others in July 2027.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

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.

We should send a sacha baron cohen apprentice over there to suss them out. Ala Who is America? The most cringe shit I've seen in life. Ha ha ha. One of his personalities to spoof people was of an ex mossad agent. You would not believe what he made happen, in 2020.

Sounds terrific. I've looked it up and I think you have o pay to see it which is a shame a I don' want to subscribe to Youtube.

If you can at all post the mossad spoof one here, at no cost to you, I'd love to see it. Others might too.

Free, no commercials, no pop ups or anything, at least on firefox with ublock origin.

If that doesn't work let me know, I know how difficult it is to find these streaming links now we have to help each other out.

Arree maety, lots of places say we have to pay. Yet we take what we want. Because we are men, and women.

They already use their tech, why not their methods too?
