Second, police violence and white power symbols raise serious concerns about which side these police are on. We’ve seen police racism before: online, deciding who to arrest, neglecting prisoners. Will the state govt call an inquiry into far right influence in the police force?2/4
Third, who is calling the shots here? Did the decision to hit protesters come from the police or from the Andrews government? Does Premier Andrews also want to run a protection racket for the fossil fuel miners like the PM? 3/4
