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

Are you suggesting it's not a lack of training that leads to police abuse? /s
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.
As far as these cops are concerned their job is to bash you.
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
Yes in context punching a defenseless person in the face under colour of law is totally cool. /s
That was great, thanks for posting it.
~~form closed?~~
Do you mean the open letter? That's working.
The google form yes, when I tried it said the owner had closed it but it's working now
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.
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.
Here it is, sorry for the wait:

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.
Thank you for your effort! Much appreciated.
Arree maety, lots of places say we have to pay. Yet we take what we want. Because we are men, and women.
Not into piracy. Never mind.
They already use their tech, why not their methods too?
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.
Why are people protesting Werner Herzhog?
🤣 They don't like movies in German?
And it's not Herzhog (that sounds like pet miniature pig). It's Herzog.
I know, I just wanted to make the joke lol
I don't like people making fun of Werner. On the other hand 😆
