Police violence at Land Forces, extreme media distortions, a shame on Victoria 

 What I saw at the Land Forces protest was the antithesis of good policing – which should aim to de-escalate. Richard Barnes reports.

Police brutality unreported

As I watch and read coverage of the events of Wednesday, I am enraged. It is clear to me that the military-industrial complex is now, at least in Australia, a military-industrial-research-government-media behemoth. The actions of the protesters on Wednesday were trivial in comparison to the actions of the police who were acting as an arm of that behemoth; and the actions of the police were trivial in comparison to the state-sanctioned military violence of which Land Forces is a part.

But you’d never know it, and you’d be given no reason to think about it.

Four people were shot, including two bystanders and an NYPD officer, after two Brooklyn cops opened fire on a suspect who had allegedly evaded paying his fare and was armed with a knife at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York on September 15, 2024.

 The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren’t able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000,” wrote civil rights attorney Scott Hechinger on X, referring to the total of fares unpaid by fare evaders caught by police in 2023. “$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.”

This Is What Happens When We Flood the Subway System With Police

Australian businesses have had a highly profitable year. Thanks, Jim, thanks, Albo.
