These weapons were tested and normalised in colonial settings, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong - far from public scrutiny in Britain itself. Colonised populations were treated as proving grounds for crowd control tactics later exported elsewhere.

“I no longer view this organisation as worthy of my trust or community safety. I am ashamed to say I ever wore the uniform. I am particularly appalled at the level of male officer violence perpetrated on women, and the elderly."

After widespread police brutality at the Sydney rally against Herzog, we need to get serious about taking on police in the streets.

Spotted in Surry Hills tonight near the rally against police brutality. This is a BearCat, an armoured truck.
It's part of the Tactical Operations Unit (like SWAT) and appears to be the model with an extendable ramp on top.
I was just arrested at the Herzog rally at Sydney Town Hall

"Anticop was born in February 2025 from frustration with the policing of pro-Palestine rallies.
'The state has done everything it can to shut that movement down, to allow the genocide to continue, and the police are a key component,' Mr Raue says."
NEW ARTICLE - FLASHBANGS. These explosive devices are designed to overwhelm the victims’ senses. Despite being marketed as “less lethal”, they often start fires and have killed several children. Flashbangs have recently been deployed against protesters in Melbourne and Minneapolis.

The proposal was moderate: give the public an independent way to hold police accountable.
The response was extreme.

Police have threatened to use a futuristic sound cannon against anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota.
So what is the long range acoustic device (LRAD), and how can you protect yourself?
Minns's response to today's Invasion Day march:
Aboriginal people can't protest against land theft and police brutality here - what, did you think it was Gadigal land?
Last year the WA Police "union" objected to cops being included in new laws that restrict firearms for people subject to restraining orders. It's a confusing position, until you remember the studies indicating 40% of police families experience domestic violence.

This isn't a new problem. In 2021 off-duty Metropolitan Police Officer Wayne Couzens identified himself as a cop to Sarah Everard, handcuffed, raped and murdered her. Police then attacked a vigil for Everard.

After an ICE officer murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, some people have called for better training for ICE agents. This is a mistake.

A company called Protector recently launched their app Patrol, allowing wealthy Americans to hire off-duty cops as security. You just hit a button on your phone and a patrol car comes to you.

We don't know all the details yet, but what we do know is that pepper spray puts strain on the metabolism and it is especially dangerous for people with a range of medical conditions. It’s a serious weapon.

ABC reporting a “period of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela”
Venezuela hasn’t done anything. There is no rising tension, it’s just Trump.
Presumably Penny Wong will issue a statement that the bombing of Venezuala and kidnapping Maduro is "difficult to judge from afar", as is her practice when her mates commit war crimes

If you hate anticop then you’re in luck because today we’re talking about everything we’ve gotten wrong. It’s time for corrections.

Police and parts of the media claim there is an epidemic of cops overdosing after touching or breathing in fentanyl, but this is scientifically impossible.
So are they lying, delusional, or is something else going on?
What does "intifada" mean? Governments in the UK and NSW are banning this Arabic word - why?
