  Are you people really gonna lose your shit over this video? It’s the white-Aussie equivalent of George Floyd. Did you learn nothing over the last three months? Show me the rest of the video where the rough-looking dyke in the JNCOs and Docs was actually the picture of docile femininity. I ain’t buying it.

  That cop was pitiful though. Looks like Bill Nighy trying to roll up a large carpet.

  Really? So, if it is equivalent, when someone has a knee or a choke hold we should just film it or go on our merry way? Over not wearing a mask. Nice. I’ve got kids, and if they were handled like this, there would be no place to f’in hide. You better figure out what side you’re on because the time is nigh.

  This is a kid not wearing a mask OUTSIDE in the summer, when coronviruses fail to thrive, due to heat

  There’s thousands of feet air.above his head for the virus to circulate. There’s no AC to recirculate the virus in an enclosed space. Which is why nobody asked anybody anywhere to mask up during the first few months

  Aussie culture is not British culture, but it comes from British culture. And one definite aspect of British culture is that one does not resist arrest. If a police officer says, “You’re nicked,” you don’t fight it.

  This is disturbing on multiple levels.

  Mark Steyn’s podcast of this date tells that the young woman had a medical exemption not to wear a mask. Yet that policeman wasn’t interested in whatever that young woman might have had to say, was he?

  @ Callmelennie
  Just a small quibble, but August is a winter month in Australia.

  But yeah, this is disturbing, and those responsible for enforcing these insane mandates should expect resistance. Eventually, somebody’s going to get shot. Over a mask.

  How do you know it was because she wasn’t wearing a mask. Because the camera guy said so? How many protestors in Portland are Victims of “unprovoked attacks by police?”

  You see what you want to see, but you haven’t seen the whole story.

  Vignettes are never the whole story. One could make a plus or minus decision based on this snippet,with no real understanding of what the ? is really going on.

  Very good point Gordon brought up-“If you’re nicked,don’t fight it.”
  Pick your battles,and live to fight another day.

  Ezra Levant is correct. Just you wait til the vaccine is mandatory for entry into a grocery store, liquor store, or the your local state park, what are you going to do then? I’ve a pretty good idea what the cops are going to do, and the local bureaucrats, and the local grocery store owner who doesn’t want to lose his state issued operating license. They are all going to become, in essence, deputized enforcers of the state, just like the cop in that video enforcing a mandatory mask order. The abject compliance we are witnessing, and zealous enforcement by both officials and Karens, over wearing a mask, to me seems to highlight the total abdication of the American people to what can only be described as overlords of micromanagement.

  There is a video of the Melbourne police chief explaining that there will now be hundreds of police diverted to check points to stop people, check their ID, and demand that they reveal where they are going, as they want everyone to remain at home. He said that if you taunt police or refuse to lower your window to answer the questions, they will break your window and drag you out of your car. He also disparaged people who state that they are sovereign citizens saying “Whatever THAT is.” They are also enforcing mask wearing. Coming to a neighborhood near you soon.

  Anonymous,
  Your post provides a lot more context to the police policy. Thanks for providing that info.
  Do you know anything further about how the encounter unfolded with the girl?

  She is a young, poorly trained, Agent of Change.
  On our last trip to Australia we met two different Australian men who had just travelled to the US to be trained as “consultants” “Agents of Change”. They were both going back home to Australia to waiting jobs in the education field.
  The first was well dressed gay man in his early 30’s. Met him in the bar while waiting for departing flight to Sydney. We started chatting an he said, ” I was sent over to the states to learn how to make the private Christian schools back home accept homosexuality”. “My job when I get home is funded by a private group with government clearance to help these schools write their new curriculum.”

  Second man we met at a restaurant in Melbourne. Older gentleman had lost his government job at the age of 55. As part of his retirement package he was sent to the states for “training”. His job when he got back home was to help “re-write some of the curriculum in the public schools”. He was a devout Australian union/liberal.

  During the wildfires last winter there was a woman posting online from Australia. She was very good at silencing any opinion other than her own and when I asked what her profession was and how did she learn to be so good at managing the audience her response was, “I have been trained by a “Community Organizer from the States”. I followed up on the rest of the info she gave and found that the private consulting group that put on these “training sessions” in Australia is based in Chicago.

  This young lady has all the indicators of a young person being directed from someone outside. Your guess is as good as mine as to who, or where, or which USA consultant has directed that act of rebellion.

  The state of Melbourne put a total lockdown on all citizen . They are allowed out 1 hr a day to exercise can only travel 5 miles to Market for food .Curfew from 8pm to 5am daily ,Masks are MANDATORY outside at all times if you don’t have or wear one you are ARRESTED there are several more like if you travel the police can stop you demand your Identification ask where you are going where you came from if you don’t provide answers the arrest you if you don’t exit your car the break windows and pull you out. The reason given by the overlords of the state is that they had 7 COVID deaths in 1 day. Here is the kicker 3 were OVER 70 2 were OVER 80 and the last 2 were OVER 90 ALL had Major pre existing conditions HOW is that for Over reach .
