Keeping the peace, NSW-style.

News report: Sydney, 10 October: ‘ … a man was dragged away by police as he held what appeared to be an Israeli flag … (he was ) removed by multiple (sic) officers and threatened with arrest.’ 

No link necessary - it’s all over the web. NSW police ‘assistant commissioner’ in charge of this - Tony Cooke - has a history of Orwellian behaviour.

Cooke went on, referring to neither side, “This is New South Wales. We do not expect people to bring conflict from other places to the streets of Sydney.”

Expect? How about ‘allow’?

Yet:

‘Cooke said police had allowed the rally to proceed.’
