Australian PoliticsPeople 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.
suspension and retraining
Discharged from the police force.
they might not have the right personality
Clearly, they don’t.
This doesn’t surprise me with the NSW police force though, they seem inclined on putting their hands on people, even teenagers. Like you I’m not necessarily in the ACAB camp but the repeated actions of these arseholes in this police force are hard to justify.
It makes them look weak.
A bit off topic, but is it mandatory for Australian police to wear that mustache?
Woah, appears to be.
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.
Fucking cops escalated as if they just like punching people.
Murican cops do. They form little clics over how quickly they'll escalate. Is Australia borrowing some of ours?
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
NSW Police like spending tax payers money by assaulting people. A friend of mine bought their first (and only) 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.
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 get to the protester.
Maybe he thought the bike would disappear in his inventory slot when he got off it like it's Pokemon.
ACAB - idiots shouldn't be cops, but that's all they'll hire
Well that was totally uncalled for
Yeah I can't defend that, looks like the officer freaked out when there was no need to
Freaked out or was itching to punch someone? Lots of thugs go into these jobs for this exact reason.
Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, this would be classified as Nazi-punching, and thus based antifascist praxis.
The IHRA definition of antisemitism says comparing Israel to the Nazis is antisemitic and is Fascism
The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism is fucking stupid.
Anyone arguing criticism of a STATE is racist is fucking stupid.
What the fuck is this bullshit you're spouting.
What would be classified as Nazi-punching?
Mmm bootleather
