A male protester has had his "all lives matter" placard ripped from his hands before he was handcuffed and dragged away by police in the middle of a Sydney protest.defiance of NSW Police and a Supreme Court refusal to authoriseJust before 2:30pm, a man standing on the steps of Town Hall was shouted down by protesters before he was detained and taken into the nearby Queen Victoria Building.
, meaning the gathering was considered lawful and protesters were immune from prosecution for breaching public health orders.NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge announced the success of the appeal to resounding cheers from the crowd. "This is one of those moments, you know when you fight the system and it's a system that's been in place against First Nations people for centuries," he said.Before the event was declared unlawful yesterday, at least 10,000 people were expected to appear at the Sydney rally — just one of aNSW Police were out in force at the demonstrations, with columns of officers seen marching around the CBD streets.
Although organisers encouraged attendees to socially distance, there was no clear 1.5 metre gap between the protesters as they marched from Town Hall to Hyde Park.Watch
I wondered why he was dragged away. Wasn't he just stating the obvious. We need to think of the medical staff who will be dealing with a possible outbreak of covid 19.
The end begins
PurpleGoat09 let’s value our First Nation population and reduce their struggles with DV & drug abuse. That will bring the biggest reduction in crime against Aboriginals.
Hahahahaha 😂
thus proving all lives dont matter...
The irony of protesting for lives but putting more in danger bu gathering in large numbers during a pandemic 👏🏼 👏🏼
THE TRUTH Most crimes in Indigenous areas are committed by other Indigenous. The assault and domestic violence numbers are horrific. Aborigines are 25% of the prison population and 12% of deaths in custody. police mistreatment in Australia is largely bullshit show some facts
this must not occur ,berejiklian is a traitor and police commissioner must be removed, we have human rights to protest ,fascists must be defeated, we deserve freedom of choice
More ‘whites’ are killed by cops every year than ‘blacks’ Imagine the shit show if there were White Lives Matter rallys.
Safety first I suppose.
Jesus was crucified for saying something similar.
Black lives matter is fine, all lives natter isn’t. 30k protesting is fine, Gold Coast businessman protesting QLD border closures gets fined. It’s so hypocritical
BREAKING - Stu Peters, Manx Radio‘s anchor, now suspended over comments made on Wednesday's programme, during which a black caller challenged him over his use of the phrase 'All Lives Matter'
Does that make you happy.... Odd man out holding the wrong sign ?
Shoot them
Freedom for thee but not for me auspol
Oh look at all the little leftists all hanging out in their little echo chamber whining about Australia’s most privileged people being oppressed
Let them go if they can find Minneapolis on a map.
There will be no diversity of thought or opinion in this brave new world of ours :( is it 2020 or 1984
Fkn pathetic!
WWG1WGA
Not when you watch the Channel 7 footage.
The ABC must be delighted.
Finally, a heroic voice amidst the sycophantic madness.
Good
Let’s hope he has a bit of a ‘fall’
TurtleShellFit
How dare someone suggest that white lives matter too. We need to understand that only black lives matter. Whites are expendable.
Why
There was a court order allowing the protest. It sounds as if the police don’t respect the judiciary.
Would the All Lives matter protester maybe have breached the social distance rules?
I don’t understand why we constantly watch and follow what Americans time the slogan might be scratched asshole matters and we’re supposed to support that?
That’ll teach him for exercising his right to free speech whilst white.

Deaths in police custody include kids driving into telegraph poles attempting to evade police. Death in prison is death in prison and not police related. They are perpetuating an exaggeration of the problem. Indigenous prisoners less likely to die in prison than Non-Indigenous.
I don't agree with him but why was he dragged away? Freedom of speech? Unless he was inciting hatred that's a joke
Arrested for being a white supremacist? Dastardly to even say all lives matter..
Seems fair and reasonable. Oh wait, no it doesn't.
I.had a bbq with friends. Was going to go but I'm white and thought was a black only affair. l had my all lives matter bbq with would you believe their were a black couple. Italians asian aussie onya Nicko the Greek good meat and some meat was halal thanks to Rana and Absy.
vaportear_ perry asf they deserved
He deserved it. It’s an outrage that he did not pick a race or virtue to focus on. Umbrella virtue where we treat any race or colour equally is a disgrace. You have to pick a side. Thanks for highlighting ABC news.
He was assaulted by protestors and arrested and dragged away for holding a sign that literally said 'BLACK WHITE ALL LIVES MATTER'
Fuck that guy
AllLivesMatter
kerrymcnasty One out of hundreds of thousands, yeah ABCnews , Right, ABCnews , filling in for the murdoch rags again?
all lives matter isnt a protest to black lives matter.
BlackLivesMatter
AllLivesMatter auspol
Yet the blm protestors wonder why they have no credibility and branded as laughing stocks.
Good
'All Lives Matter'? How Dare You?
What law did he break to be handcuffed?
How dare he dissent? He must be sent to gulag immediately! AllLivesMatter
Hope they protested the rampant domestic violence and sexual assualts in aboriginal communities commited by aboriginals including against children.
Wrong narrative.
Was he this homeless white guy with all his wordly belongings surrounded by BLM protestors?
It’s kinda an irony that those who protest against the ignorance of the fact that black lives matter seem to be just ignoring the fact that other lives including their own also MATTER.
I fully support what they're protesting about but I'm very worried about what is going to happen now as far as COVID-19 is concerned.
Doesn’t that mans life matter?
...yes! Keep the US sh*t in the US, don’t bring US problems to Australia.
Racist!
“All lives matter” is code for the actual message “fuck your black lives” “Black lives matter” means black lives matter too, not that only black lives matter.. Jesus.... The more you know.. 🤷♂️
SusanBoylesCat So the police arrest the one protestor who is saying all lives matter. Meanwhile no one is arrested for breaking social distancing regulations and the courts helpfully overturn the ban on the protest at the last minute. This is the last days of Rome. Our society deserves to die.
Is it just me or is this getting ridiculous everyone go home!
AllLivesMatter

Black people wanting to be heard but silencing a man who wants to include black people into AllLivesMatter is the epitome of racism. These people are walking hypocrites.
Arrested for wrong thinking.
This is like a man wants to have sex with a woman in period. Can you just wait a few days?
Good. These vermin need to be kept off the streets.
Soros funds anyone these days...
This will never stop, ever !
So this is today's govt brief
Wrongful arrest suit incoming.
But I thought we were about equality? Or does that not count for all
get forked this guy is a legend! Haha
Why on earth did they arrest him? He was getting pushed and shoved by black lives matter protesters. Why is he not entitled free speech but everybody else there is? The entire situation is dumb.
Black Lives Matter? Will Start A Civil War ? Believe what I Say?
Umm all lives do matter
“All lives matter”!? What an outrageous assertion. Burn the heretic! witch
Hope they all get covid and the country gets locked dowm again
Must not go against the woke cultists.
Please stop all protest now! Lappy master Donald T. will be so displeased!
What happened to freedom of speech
To all the “All Lives Matter” people, I’m very happy to share the abuse, the racial profiling & deaths in custody with you. I don’t have a problem of you being an equal of mine.
langfordlights
So if I head out tomorrow with 100 people together we will be fined time to sue every single state that has locked everyone else up except these idiots !
What happened to freedom of expression and exchange of ideas?
Lot of cry babies feeling left out. BlackLivesMatters is about a specific problem. Now I know you feel left out about all your hardships, but people are allowed to try and fix specific problems, and whinging about it just means your racist and haven't realized it yet.
He has been sent to the gulag for re-education
AllLivesMatter Share Share Share folks
Good.
They are violent people, it was probably for his own protection. Evil and violence has been whipped up by the ABC who are reveling in the destruction.
He wasn’t hand cuffed at all
Did he happen to be wielding a crossbow?
Maybe the RSL_National RSLNSW should have approached the NSW Supreme Court for ANZAC Day. BLMSydney
Very tolerant of the guy saying all lives matter - not
ramblingwitch You mean a racist provocateur was arrested and taken away !
Why?
I catch a whiff of burning martyr
Of course
Is it ok to protest about non-Aboriginal deaths in custody? You know, because non-Aboriginals actually die at a slightly higher rate than Aboriginals in custody? Facts still matter right? Or no?
Why
The ABC and its staff collective have been supporting this all week trying to import the violence and looting from the US to our shores
ABCIndigenous Where were the handcuffs and the dragging? Didn't look like an arrest. Receipts, please.
Abject laziness, trying to piggy back on a separate (non existent) issue. Start your own movement if you're so concerned about it mate instead of trying to co-opt this one. White privilege at its finest! blacklivesmatter
Fuck these people need to get some perspective.
“All lives matter” means Spread the virus every where ?
It is the height of racism to say that only black lives matter. Many are so blinded to this lie that they hypocritically demand justice for others but never for themselves.
All Lives Matter.!
Good piss off the divisive germ
I have to walk through this for work if I get covid-19 I'm going to sue the states arse off. Bunch of idiots. 2GB873 TheTodayShow GladysB NSWCourts
If all lives mattered so much, they would not be there.
Why?
AllLivesMatter is not approved by medical science
Good
BREAKING: The Court of Appeal in NSW has ruled protesters are allowed to march in today's Black Lives Matters rally in Sydney
All lives matter !!!
Why?SkyNewsAust
That’s one to the credit of the police.
Why didn't they just invoke their 'white privilege'.
Who are matter?
Gotta say that's pretty racist. Protestors hate Whites, Asians & Indians ay.
Why?
One down, more to go.
Good serves them right
Great news!
Put these race traiting degenerates in jail.
