Police endangered human life! During the clearing of a sit-in in the #Hamburg harbor, the police left an unconscious person lying in the sun for at least 20 minutes. The police massively obstructed the paramedics.

Without consideration for the injured person and endangering the paramedics, the police continued the violent eviction. Despite requests to call an ambulance, this happened only after a considerable delay - the acute danger to life was simply ignored.

I was there when protesters were pepper sprayed at Central Station on Saturday night. I want to clarify what happened as details have been misrepresented.
The first and most important being the NSW Police’s assertion that the use of pepper spray was “appropriate”.
It was not.

It was not.
Below is what I saw.
When I arrived at Central Station at 6.17pm, protesters were at the entry to platforms 16 to 25 chanting “no justice, no peace” and “too many cops, not enough justice,” using walls and the sides of bins to create noise.
It was loud. It was not violent.

Police then funnelled the group inside the building by forming an impenetrable line. Police also surrounded the Surry Hills Eddy Avenue exit.
Space became confined, tensions rose.
At 6.28, a protestor with a megaphone asked everyone to take a knee to diffuse the situation.
