Well this is a fucking horrifying read about a practice that needs to be banned immediately.

❝
At the time of his death, Spring was being illegally detained. The previous day, Dec. 23, 2022, a judge had ordered his release.

What happened next was only revealed when reporters obtained internal staff incident reports.

Guards describe Spring, who’d been diagnosed with schizophrenia, as unstable and having difficulty managing his emotions.

A fight broke out with another inmate and correctional officers intervened. Guards pepper-sprayed the young man and forced him into a spit hood, a head covering made of mesh and fabric that first responders put on people to protect themselves from being spit on.

Handcuffed and hooded, Spring was thrown into a shower, where he was pepper-sprayed once more. When staff took him to his cell, they realized Spring was no longer breathing.

Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.

Shocked.

_____

Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.

In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.

However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".

Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".

"I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.

Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.

Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.
