One of the most disgusting things I've ever seen on YT ! Victoria Police and Police Brutality in the extreme! Now what would happen to a copper if this lady died from her injuries, probably sfa. Pepper spray is a defensive weapon not an offensive weapon and that lady posed no threat to the cops whatsoever. She has a good case for police brutality with video evidence, get them sacked if possible.

What sort of man attacks a woman? Especially an elderly woman. Especially one that is on the ground, helpless.
Not the sort of man that should wear the uniform.

NSW Police continue to cover themselves in glory! Looks like indecent assault to me and the cowards just walk away! Just for the record they were:- Public Order and Riot Squad members! Looking good boys looking real good! Senior Constable Mumbles has that "Oh Fark what did I just do" look on his face! Notice how the others deliberately walk in front of witnesses to block them filming!
A quote from someone who was there:-
"I was there with my sister at the park with 3 other women as we leaving the park to go back to cars approached by 5 cars 20 of these pigs detained threatened to arrest us intimidated us for walking stole our phones as we were filming them and Natalia went through our belonging all captured on video!! They will get there day in court! "

So predictable! For months now we've been asking (Frostbite, myself et al) where is the Union support for the workers ? Looks like the Union Members got sick of asking and decided to take action today! CFMEU execs got smashed!

The union leadership in this country is a gutless disgrace. As soon as mandatory vaccinations were announced we should have seen a nationwide strike, with every union standing in solidarity.
Unfortunately union leadership is either spineless or in bed with management. And a large part of the workforce are selfish and gutless, not prepared to lose a few days pay for the greater good.
Some years ago my employer introduced some changes to how we do our work, which appeared to be very minor (an extra tick when conducting our daily vehicle check), but which could have removed our access to compensation in an accident. Our on site union delegate, ex navy, refused to complete the new form and was stood down on the spot. I told him he'll never walk alone, refused to sign, and was also stood down. Out of approx 70 staff in that facility, only 7 refused to sign and were stood down. The rest bent over for management. I called us the Magnificent 7. We were stood down for 4.5 days until we won our case in the IRC. Watching a Commissioner verbally tear the head off our evasive State Manager remains one of my happiest moments. I had a mortgage and a young family, but I also have a backbone. It's a damn shame most workers in this country don't.

If the economy tanks while all this is going on, civil unrest will be on.

The bigger unions (CFMEU, AMWU etc) have lost their spines as their senior management is only using their positions to try and get a for in the door to politics with the Labor party, hence why in Victorstan, they won't defy Comrade Andrews because they will lose their chance at running for political office in the future.

I had a mortgage and a young family, but I also have a backbone. It's a damn shame most workers in this country don't. Here's the thing. Most of the younger generations (and I'm probably looking at Gen Y and under) have no idea what a union is for, how it's supposed to work, what protections they're supposed to provide. If any. I'm of that generation and I've never been in a union. Fair enough, the last decade or so I couldn't be, but that's not the point. Even if I were in the position to be able to join a union now I wouldn't because I grew up with my parents, my dad in particular, heaving a frustrated sigh every time the news came on about union corruption and people being crushed down within their own unions, or being taken advantage of. Unions have NEVER attempted to put forward a good face to me or any of my compatriots in any of the times I could potentially have joined one. They were either "Join us and do things our way, or piss off" or they just didn't exist in our workplaces in the first place. Perhaps they'd been chased out by the owners, who knows. It's nothing to do with having a backbone or not. It's mostly the fact that people simply know that there's no protections for people in the service and gig industries, and that's where a lot of younger folks can get work out of the gates these days. Hell, they can't even get the basic privilege of stable full time hours and wages these days. If you know your boss can scrape away your income shift by shift by saying "sorry, there's just no work"... Well, you're not going to start too many revolutions if you know you only have enough cash to pay for the bus home. Forget your rent and food for the month.

The appalling harassment of Aussie Cossack continues unabated! Three times in 24 hours he has been jumped on by cops and they are now covertly observing his wife's workplace!

The most disgusting behaviour demonstrated by NSW Police and their refusal to identify themselves!
Tell me you would be proud to wear that uniform after watching this disgraceful display!

And ... why the hell is youtube hiding this video behind 17 different layers of "authentication" before allowing anyone to view it ? It's VERY interesting what they choose to censor. Considering all the really dodgy stuff freely available for view anywhere on the net. Why is this SO sensitive?

Police should wear blue shirts, not black military style kit, and identify themselves clearly. I'm not a fan of the IRA / SAS look-alike thing that police forces everywhere are adopting. No idea what was going on in the background ... but it didn't look good.

Yes a Senior Police "mate" of mine told me the new paramilitary uniform and accoutrements were issued to enhance "Officer Survivability"! The joke is in virtually all "Most Dangerous Jobs In The World" surveys being a cop is one of the safest jobs out there, consistently fails to get anywhere near the top ten! Construction Workers are right up there!

I'm pretty sure in Australia ... farming ... is at the top of the workplace injury/danger list!
I should spend my days wearing full body armour, chain mail, a motorcross helmet, 5 point safety harness and life-line ... you know ... just to be "safe".
Safety culture will be a quaint memory when the Chinese occupation forces arrive here one day to secure our minerals and energy supplies for their economy.
At that point ... the robust survivors will be wandering around in the desert in dull coloured board-shorts and T-shirts toting AK's and RPG's and looking for enemy patrols to ambush for re-supply. They will take hits and die. Maybe instantly ... maybe after a few hours or days of screaming in pain. The safety conscious will be meekly starving behind wire, dumped in pits sprinkled with lime or hiding in sewers and caves and living on detritus - waiting fearfully for the end to arrive.
The state of extreme softness and physical risk aversion of our population is deeply concerning considering what lies in wait for us. In that respect ... I like the kids who are into extreme sports where taking risks and getting hurt is a common occurence.
