Never forget the NSW *police* started the violence on Feb 9th, not the protestors.

"NSW Labor backbencher Anthony D’Adam alleged he saw police punching and throwing someone to the ground, as tensions heated up at the Sydney protest.

He alleged an officer pushed his bike into a woman and “clearly hurt her”. When she got angry, he claims another officer pushed her into the crowd and other bystanders, who fell over, were shocked and angry and started yelling.

“That then resulted in a number of other officers joining the fray,” D’Adam told Guardian Australia.

“They grabbed someone and threw them onto the ground,” he said, alleging punches were thrown.

“It just seemed totally over-the-top in terms of the police reaction.”

D’Adam said if the government, which he is a member of, had allowed the protesters to march up George Street, it wouldn’t have happened."
