Interesting video of a woman (apparently fairly elderly) being shoved to the ground by one policeman, and then pepper sprayed by another whilst down. Then they moved on, seemingly not caring about what they may have just done.
He gets zero credit for sounding realistic after stealing the last eighteen months of my children's lives and mine.
The idea that a peaceful protest ought to be deemed ipso facto illegal is wrong.
I just looked at the video and subduing someone performing an illegal act is not how I descibe it.The woman was standing in the middle of the road as police passed her.One slung out his arm in a great head high tackle.She went down hitting her head on the ground and not moving.The next policeman passing her bent down and sprayed her face with capsicum spray -she was definitely not resisting.Disgraceful no matter what the issue.
It has been reported that the woman was a press photographer for The Age. Not sure how that impact the definition of "performing an illegal act" under these circumstances.

Police investigate after footage shows officer push woman to the ground before spraying at anti-lockdown protest
The conduct of some Victorian police officers is being probed after a female demonstrator and an Age newspaper photographer were pepper sprayed at a violent anti-lockdown protest in inner Melbourne at the weekend.
A) QLDers can't complain, they knew what they were getting when they voted her back in.
Tourism industry being slightly untruthful there. School holidays atm and most tourist places are nearly or fully booked out.Courier Mail is reporting Queensland won’t open until 90% double jabbed:
The Courier Mail understands Cabinet has endorsed the 90 per cent threshold, after premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and WA refused to sign up to the national cabinet deal of 80 per cent.
Despite NSW and Victoria outlining a road map to opening up, based on an 80 per cent double vaccination rate, Queensland is yet to commit to any blueprint for going forward, even with the population likely to hit 80 per cent double jabs by December 5.
The decision on 90 per cent vaccination rates is being driven by Labor polling which shows Queenslanders don’t want to be opened up if it means a mass Delta variant outbreak, like NSW and Victoria.
Tourism industry leaders are incensed at the prospect of Queensland being closed for the Christmas-New Year holidays.
agree 100%
It may not have started as a race but it seems some premiers now believe that it is an auction. Any advance on 90%? Going ......... going .....
I am really not sure that is happening. Queenslanders have very options so are travelling internally. Where I am ATM no vacancy until 6 March. Both places where I have stayed in the past week have said as soon as they get a cancellation it is filled. One is managing a waiting list.
Even in the NRL that would be a straight send off.
That could be misleading and be because of a lot of bookings from those interstate who will have to cancel if the borders are not reopened though.
