    the police are a problem everywhere.

    And yet no other city or town experienced these issues. It’s a NSW Police and Sydney culture problem.

      Just because you aren’t paying attention, does not mean it’s not a problem. Yes the other protests went well, but consider if there were more Chris Minns. Imagine if One Nation is in power, how would they utilise the police? They are only as good as the person giving them orders. This is why they are a problem everywhere.

        Putting aside the fact that you just agreed with me that police in other states and territories do not have this problem, “imagine if they also had Chris Minns” completely ignores the second part of my reasoning. Sydney has a culture problem and consistently elects terrible politicians. Other cities do not have this cultural problem, therefore they do not elect Chris Minns, therefore they do not have insane people utilising the police against protestors. Live in denial if you want, everyone outside of Sydney knows it is a shithole and not representative of the rest of the country.

      Na this is bullshit.

      I know of cops in small towns like Hill End getting people arrested for driving with morphine in their system … because the cunt got the guy tested for morphine after the ambulance administered the green whistle.

      And cops in Queensland get aboriginal kids, drive them dozens of kilometres out of town, take their shoes and make them walk back.

      Cops are cunts no matter where they are.
