Police have used capsicum spray to disperse a small remainder of protesters in Central Station. Photos by James Brickwood. Live updates here:

Although the vast majority of protesters have gone home, witness have toldbetween 50 and 100 protesters didn't want to leave when the crowd dispersed and police have pushed them to the entrance of the station at Eddy Avenue."Police quickly formed a line, forced us behind and just started pushing forwarding and encircling everyone, slowly pushing everyone back...back into the station," he said.

, our reporter in Melbourne, writes the crowd dispersed after a rap performance ended the day outside Flinders Street station.

This NSWPolice chappie is a happy sprayer...

NSWPolice went to Supreme Court to have the protest declared illegal on health grounds due to coronavirus 🦠 Why were NSWPolice 👮‍♀️ 👮‍♀️on frontline duty without PPE 😷 given their concern over coronavirus spread? I wonder will these police sue NSWPolice

they weren't trying to disperse, dickheads!

Covid 19 sequelae -ideots.

What were the police doing on platforms? How do you disperse people who are waiting for a train? Why would you force people into a space and not give them the ability to leave if it's not where they want to be.

Sign the petition to hold nswpolice and GladysB accountable for herding people into central station with no way to escape and using excessive force HOLD accountable for reporting truth.

Police should have sprayed them in green dye. So we can see them coming over next month and keep away. Covid kills: lives matter ?

'Sydney police cornered group of innocent civilians, trapping them in an underground railway station, deployed chemical weapons.' Stop being cowards with your headlines.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

You don't disperse people who are going to the station to get a train home. This was an unprovoked attack on peaceful people. Stop trying to normalise police brutality.

Anyone see a 'good' cop stopping this? ACAB BLM

Marchers were kettled! That destroyed any individual attempts at distancing. Inquiry Now GladysB

Have our police learnt nothing from the American situation? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

thousands will die perfect way for the covid19

Inexcusable.

Hmmm ... forming illegal, massive crowds in public when you've been asked to stay home and stay safe ... 🤔 IllegalAssembly VirtueSignalling AntifaTerrorists FundedBySoros DesignedToDivide WWG1WGA

sallyrawsthorne How can police 'attempt' to move people through Central Station - when there is nowhere to go?

Disgraceful

Were these citizens leaving a peaceful legal protest in Sydney to get home ambushed by angry nswpolice officers.. otherwise why were they there in force?! GladysB abcnews

Two things - 1/ It's not 'dispersal' if you trap people within an enclosed space. Get the person who wrote this to do some extra study in both ethics and linguistics. 2/ This is disgraceful and bastardly action on the part of the NSW police and government.

Well, well bravo nswpolice. Using a chemical weapon that induces violent coughing in the middle of an airborne virus pandemic. Who's accountable for the planning, GladysB?

ScottMorrisonMP I hope your proud of how Aust looks to the outside world.If You want reconciliation DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Don't turn Aust into another USA. Look what Trumps done much the same as your doing NOTHING

From both entries to the station? Where exactly were they supposed to 'disperse?

Sydney morning Herald licks boots. Scum.

Lets call this what it is Chemical Warfare

nswpolice GladysB What was the justification behind sending a riot squad into this area guys beyond provocation?

Well this is obviously untrue.

Love how the uses safe words like disperse in the headlines.. don’t want to upset the people that are using capsicum spray on people sitting down.. wtf.. report the actual events.. you are a disgrace of a newspaper

cristyclark Are they still protesters if the protest is over? Aren't they just people on their way home?

Police allegedly penned protestors in Central station before allegedly assaulting the protestors. Investigate that. I dare you.

Doing a great job

The best that can manage for police brutality?

Excellent

local gang traps 100s underground before filling area with toxic spray

Does capsicum spray even work on vegans?

Every single cop without exception is a bastard

For those non-Americans who would like to express their worries about trump and feel he is dangerous please consider The world wants to see US Repn senators a message RemoveTrump

Using chemical weapons against a peaceful demonstration is exactly why they were protesting in the first place. The responsible police should resign and the Government must act to restrain their brutal actions.

Police frustrations at not being able to physically abuse the public finally boil over using people who just want to go home as scapegoats-is the way your article should have read! The police need disbanding and restarting from scratch.

No, they blocked them from leaving (central station is a public transport hub) and then pepper sprayed. It was a planned attack

GladysB these images are your doing. A peaceful protest ruined by NSW Police. you might want to spend some time in investigative journalism on deaths in custody as there’s a lot of bodies brushed under the carpet.

Fixed it for you

Fire them. All of them. No excuse for this abuse.

Police must arrest all the stubborn extremists. That's right to stop illegal protests.

nswpolice is in dire need of reform.

If the police wanted to disperse the protestors why did they kettle them?

Shit headline tell the truth

People who weren't doing anything except going home. 😡

GOTTA GET ME SUM STICK TIME IN! HUR HUR HUR!

When asked to take the knee and show solidarity, you cornered us into a confined space and used pepper spray and mace. Fucking cowards nswpolice

When Channel 7 describe all George Floyd protests as peaceful, such claims become meaningless. The video only shows the aftermath.

Saw her after that and she was fine Charlotte is one of the fakest grossest bitches I have ever met. I personally hate her and I think she’s a mad attention seeking whore & have since I met her three years ago so I think it’s pretty funny she’s on the front page. She’d love it.

Meh fuck the lefties deserve every bit

Disperse them where? They corralled them in like cattle. They barred the entrances.

Even in war this would be considered inhumane, this is a fucking war atrocity

THIS IS APPAULING! They were trapped inside and lured in by the police! Wheres the inquiry into this disgusting display of police brutality going to be given? Oh wait they wont do it because Scomo doesnt give a fuck.

The unquestioning acceptance of the bullshit the cops fed you guys is really telling on yourselves

This had nothing to do with despersing the crowd. The cowardly nsw Police had been itching to commit acts of violence all afternoon. I guess they finally got their chance 😠

Clock that they're all in a section of the station you can only access by tapping your Opal card... meaning they were passengers heading home, there are no laws broken by doing that and no reason for that many cops to be there unless they planned to do this ahead of time.

This is journalistic malpractice. The police assaulted people leaving a protest to go home for heckling. Shame on the SMH for this headline.

Is this what Morrison meant when he warned us about 'importing the things that are happening overseas to Australia', that is, police rioting and assaulting peaceful protestors?

Chalk up another war crime by the ' Justice ' system. Fucking Cowards.

Report properly FFS

The SMH disgrace it's self. Garbage reporting.

Fucking unnecessary

.It wasn't to 'disperse' ! They were kettled ! and then attacked for no reason. Totally unacceptable!

The protesters were trapped at the station BY THE POLICE, you bootlickers!

This is just police retaliation for the challenge to their power to do whatever they like. And if it goes unpunished that right will be affirmed.

Good. Shame they didn’t use rubber bullets.

You say disperse, I say assault.

Dispersal usually means “spread out” not “kettle in and attack with chemical weapons”

.Indefensible! and NOT acceptable!

... after or before kettling them?

WTF. This is why people are protesting. This can't be just a story for tonight. There needs to be accountability.

All ready some news outlets are saying that the protesters, mind you some were just trying to get home, were apparently not wanting to leave? what in there right minds think that the protesters don't want to leave, there waiting there to go home that's why their there.

Disgusting actions. People need to lose their jobs over this.

Sad day to see this paper not to report the truth.

That sergeant with the spray is behaving like a real cuntstable isn’t he. The idea normally is you don’t use chemical sprays in enclosed space where there is no real retreat option for the target, if you aren’t using it to break up the crowd it is then just a weapon to cause pain

Pure clickbait - headline should be “Police use capsicum spray on people they had trapped in confined space at Central Station”

And the cop using the capsicum spray is like 3 rows back. He must of been peeing his pants all day looking for a chance to use it. I’m also curious nswpolice why your officers were not wearing face masks or social distancing considering the palaver was made about health risks

Australians: acab? NSW police: acab.

JaneCaro Lols you guys comfy up there on the bandwagon

Did you watch the footage where they kettled the crowd into the station?

The correct phrase here is 'citizens trapped by the police.'

For once ignore your Chairman’s political bias and report this police brutality properly. Hold GladysB to account for once and make responsible for the buffoons Elliot and Fuller.

Civil liberties protect ourselves from governments using “crises” and “emergencies” as justification to dismantle our rights, and it is deeply disturbing.

Absolute dogs the police

Why did police launch an attack?

Richard_D_Boyle “Police attacked people at Central Station who had attended a protest 2 hours earlier” I think is what you meant to say

difficult to see how the police are acting to prevent serious injury to a person, or how people waiting to move further inside the train station could be posing a threat.

Should read: Police used violence against a group of enclosed protesters.

PCKJ3627 Cops are allowed to use violence if they have a bad day, accept it as long as Mick Fuller and David Elliott are in power

Outrageous police brutality upon peaceful citizens going home. Looks just like America !

This is the same police force that plays with kids genitals under the guise of strip searching “because drugs” - give these fuckers an inch of power they’ll take a mile.

They kettled them and assaulted them. This is exactly the abuse they're protesting against. Also the hypocrisy of them NOT WEARING MASKS !!

Good 👍🇦🇺

Clearly social distancing wasn't a concern for the police here.

DISPERSE? WRONG. They kettled them.

love too live in a police state

dispersing ... where are they supposed to go onto the tracks? this is ugly journalism.

The police decided to take their anger out on a small number of people who were not causing a problem. And the cops put some sort of slippery liquid down to cause people to slip and fall. Bob Askin would be so proud.

Literally cannot help themselves can they?

They rounded people up and then attacked them. David Elliott should be sacked and GladysB your premiership is fucked.

Australia is cringy af

Token black guy in photo

You mean disperse the group they forced into a confined space so they couldn’t physically disperse? Great investigative journalism smh. Sure you didn’t just copy the cops’ media statement?

scribe_less Just when I thought i had faith in Australia when I see cops usually protecting the protestirs when there are marches...

appalling behaviour by nswpolice - gutless thugs. WHY, the FUCK

wendy_harmer Yeah the plods have it & love using it to “disperse” & distance the bloody trouble making mob so they can move on to platform 15 19 & 26. Then the plods can go back & get their Macca’s Kebabs or Sushi. Btw good grub round that neck of the woods

Very neutral language when the facts show appalling behaviour by police. From the newspaper house that was happy to publish lies about protesters planning to spit on police.

… who were catching a train out, therefore didnt need “dispersing”. Please stop sanitizing deliberate police brutality.

Good .

i believe that the police are nothing but monsters. the protest was peaceful and no violent actions occurred until the police arrived. they captured them and pushed and forced the protesters to form a large group and when they fought back, they got teargassed. disgusting

Why are the police lingering?

Imagine they obeyed the direction of law enforcement and moved on.....don't cry that it burns when you show no respect for the laq or the public health and safety of society.

The last of the presters, not stragglers. And normal commuters. They kettled regular travellers in a busy Central concourse.

“Disperse” is a strange way to spell “terrorize”.

always a few wankers let everyone down

This is just the beginning, wait until we really get pissed off, watch the crackdown of our rights then..

PIGS

Taking a page out of the US playbook.

Looks like cops brutalising non-violent civilians to me

that is my friend in the last photo, in the face of the police, crying & drenched. this is fucked, Central is how a large % of people in Sydney get home just like i did when i lived there. this was targeted.

Should’ve used it on them all. Hire a crop duster and spray them all. Would’ve been beautiful to watch.

Not enough kids around for them to molest?

NSW Police not worried about COVID-19 while corralling people into a confined space and using chemical weapons at Central Station. Idiots.

'Capsicum' 'Disperse' 'Small Remainder' WTF is this, a recipe from MasterChef BlackLivesMatterAustralia AboriginalHistoryMatters SydneyProtest MediaWatch

The way you have worded this is absolutely out of pocket and you should issue a clarification

This is barbarism.

They just couldn’t help themselves, could they. Nitwits.

I wish they used something stronger. These monkeys won’t budge.

why?

No surprise that Fuller and nswpolice would end up doing this because of our presumption at protesting and not quietly accepting their court order to be silent.

YourAnonCentral protesters sprayed in enclosed train station by nswpolice while trying to go home from Sydney BlackLivesMatter protest. There is no curfew in Sydney. No reason for moving people along. It was an authorised protest.

😂😂😂😂😂

Fix your headline; Police cornered and attacked citizens returning from protesting with chemical weapons. corrently thisisnotjournalism

Can you ask police how their actions are in line with safe physical distancing?

Can Twitter identify that coward spraying capsicum spray from behind several lines of men? Our taxes don’t employ this loser to live out his violent fantasies at our expense PoliceWorkForUs

There is something very rotten in the NSW Police. A new minister and new commissioner are needed (for starters). auspol

Just like the USA.

Just cannot help themselves...

nswpolice Don’t be like America, be better

The Premier of NSW & Police Minister should resign immediately. Unacceptable!

Disperse? WTF?

bencubby Proper journalism: “Police in Sydney, unsurprisingly, use excessive force on peaceful protestors who were protesting against the use of excessive force by Police in Sydney”

These people were at a station waiting to go home. There is literally no way they couldve 'dispersed' faster. I was on one of the first trains out & I could see there were 100s or people still steaming into the station. Police punished people for just being last in the queue

pigs will be pigs

It's almost like they want to distract from the actual message that tens of thousands of people were there to send.

They were gassed by police during a worldwide pandemic in a small confined space while heading jome! This is why journalism is dying

The crowd were in the station on their way home. But the police had to manufacture an incident to get arrests, before they escaped to the trains!

Did the editor of The Policeman's Gazette write this?

Thuggery by police using pepper spray in an unprovoked terrorists attack on peaceful demonstrators at Central station

I wonder WHY people would be at a train station. Critical thinking here, SMH journalists. Could it possibly have been to GET HOME? Let's rewrite that headline: 'Police corner peaceful protestors on their way home and pepper spray them without cause'

Yeah sure frame it as 'dispersal' and not wanton violence, bootlicking sure worked out well for your journo colleagues in the US.

They’re applying for a job in the USA.

smdh

Wow looks like that girl sitting down was a huge threat that needed to be neutrilised

nswpolice assaults blacklivesmatteraustralia protesters. Legal action must follow AustLawAlliance

Were these people the protest stragglers?

Hey Twitterverse. Can anyone ID this nswpolice member? This is assault, pure and simple. blacklivesmatter Another NSW cop who responds to verbal abuse with physical abuse. If you can't control your temper and ego, you're not fit to serve in the police force.

guardian ABC SBSNews Under GladysB DavidElliottMP this is the norm, same as Illegal Strip searching kids and Anti pill testing, they are the epitome of trying to ascertain a Police State. auspol

that cop in the photo is smiling while pepper spraying people. disgraceful. not voting for GladysB in this lifetime

These people were trapped and attacked with chemicals by the people who are meant to be protecting them. All other aus states treated people with respect , such a disgrace

just think, the police could have had a propaganda win by swallowing their pride and not hurting anyone at a protest about police violence. but police are, as a rule, such violent thugs that they just couldn't help kettling and pepper spraying people.

They just had to have their sadistic sport play despite Appeals Court denying them the full game play...

The guy with pepper spray looks like he’s grinning

Crowds at train stations tend to disperse by train, pepper spray used because? nswpolice

they were LEAVING! this wasn’t about “dispersal” this was about punishing people for protesting

Let’s hope covid virus was able to take a break at the protest march. Otherwise, these people might regret it.

Soooo pissweak. .. sissy fraternity.

Why would they do that?

oink

Quick reminder that pepper spray is outlawed in combat by the Geneva convention and the protesters were kettled in so they COULD NOT FUCKING LEAVE

Def

Says it’s small numbers, shows pictures of a large crowd. 🙄🙄🙄

How does a group that’s trapped in a small area “disperse”, exactly?

_shisha_0 Australia 🇦🇺 shameful!

Why?

delete your account

What a small crowd. Very Pathetic. I'm glad mace was used to break up the mob & keep the violent crowd from harming innocents.

Looks unnecessary to me.

how was it meant to 'disperse' if they're literally trapped inside. Stop reporting propaganda!!!

48lbs YES YES YES PEPPER SPRAY THE UNWASHED MASSES!

yeah they sure look like they were heading home quietly and not pushing at police/chanting fuck the police etc

A huge threat to police lol. If the nswpolice wasn’t there there probably would have bern any problems.

Senior Sarge showing the younger cops how to cap spray em in the face.

JaneCaro Lol good

Morrison gov has learned a lot from his friend, Trump !

This was kettling, a common tactic of American cops, used to give the police an excuse to arrest -- or attack -- folks when they would otherwise have no PC.

Yes even the Sydney Morning Herald seems to see how silly it is to attack people about to go home ?........its like the Police took all there anger out on a few at a train station for the very large peaceful protest today ? ......shame on them.

Call it for what it really is and hold nswpolice accountable for their shity actions

nswpolice so it’s acceptable to basically kettle a bunch of protestors in an enclosed station with other people who weren’t protesting? Geez, really looking up to the US huh?

Well done to the police

these were people trying to get home! they were only chanting because nswpolice TRAPPED them there acab

Disperse? In a closed space they had blocked off The protesters could've ACTUALLY dispersed if they were allowed to get on the trains and go home! Report this as the unjust assault it is or you're also complicit in this gross crime committed by nswpolice Shame on all of you

'disperse'? get fucked

This shows NSW police’s contempt of the NSWSupCt’s authorisation and Its disrespect for the rule of law. NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller must resign or be sacked immediately. blacklivesmatteraustralia auspol

tamsinroses Should have hit them with a water cannon, most of the dole bludgers could use a bath

Oh, I guess they had a bad day.

nswpolice showing their true colours. Fuller and Elliott need replacing....and the force needs a clean out.....

NSW 🐽obviously upset the march went smoothly and peacefully so tried to get some violence in before they had to go home and put their toys away.

disperse? the footage shows nsw police cornered them in order to pepper spray. this is a violation

So 76 years to the day our forebears invaded France on D-Day to destroy fasicm and here it is on the streets of Sydney GladysB major fail.

Minister Elliott? Premier? Any comment?

The police are responsible for this act of violence against the protesters.

JaneCaro How do you disperse a crowd you have trapped underground, with no exit? How was the kettling at the station, and the use of an illegal substance in war, at all the best way to get people to go home? After a good day, the cops here showed their limits - in patience and sense.

Some NSW Police have the mental capacity of a gnat 7NEWS auspoI mjrowland68

Tens of thousands of people in solidarity, peacefully protesting but this is what you choose to show? People forced into Central Station then not allowed the access to get home. This included other commuters going about their business. This is your takeaway from today?

Is this a new fascist fashion statement?

You mean they stopped them dispersing, then used capsicum spray to punish them for daring to protest.

FatherBob Not accurate. They bottled them first and stopped them dispersing to escalate the situation, so they could play at being soldiers.

You need to re-phrase that headline immediately.

“Disperse” when they were trapped on a fucking train platform. I think you meant “kettled” and “attacked”

I suppose the temptation for nswpolice to get in on the action was hard to resist.

Pigs.

disperse them away from the train they were trying to get on?

This is untrue. People were trying to get home and the cops trapped them. fake news :)

Pigs

Disgusting. No matter how you try to spin this, the grotesque display of violent power is out there for the world to see.

Attack, assault. No provocation

I guess the police have to live up to their reputation

The protesters were at the station to go home. The police trapped them there and then sprayed them with capsicum spray you shitheel of a news outlet.

Please don't lie, SMH. It wasn't to disperse them, they were being kettled and were unable to disperse. It was cops getting their violent jollies, end of.

Idiots.

Congratulations Supreme Court. Disgraceful decision.

Disperse. Remember when Fairfax didnt smell quite so Channel 9?

They're in a train station waiting to leave! Saying it's a 'remainder of protesters' is irresponsible and misleading.

‘disperse’ - they were heading home peacefully and orderly by public transport until attacked by police

Really, ? This is how you’re reporting the use of pepper spray by police to ‘disperse’ peaceful protesters kettled by said cops on Sydney’s CentralStation Disgraceful!

French police leave capsicum spray in their lockers! French Lives Matter!

Eat the spray well done

Disperse? The cops were kettling the exits and the platforms. People were just trying to get home.

wendy_harmer Fuller’s thugs, denied a street brawl at the last minute, just had to flex their frustrations didn’t they !!

Would you like to add that the police cornered them in there? Maybe?

Don't say that they 'used capsicum spray to disperse the protesters', because it's not true. Police pushed protesters back down into the station and blocked any exits. How could they expect protesters to disperse? They deliberately left them nowhere to go. This was retaliation.

Such brave police, they were under attack. Someone threatened their funding.

Sorry, disperse you say?

M_J_Caboose1 Go home Karen, you've had your virtue signalling time.

Did they lock them up?

“Disperse them,” disperse them WHERE What a shitty phrasing, completely irresponsible

NSW police are really taking it badly, aren't they, no longer being able to strip-search under-age girls? So it's not surprising they're trying to have fun wherever they can find it--like using capsicum spray on peaceful blacklivesmatteraustralia protestors trying to go home.

French police leave capsicum spray in their lockers!

Nothing to see here, they were just having a bad day..

Will the Commissioner please answer or the Police Minister?

wendy_harmer So they basically pepper sprayed innocent people waiting to get onto the platforms. 🙄

Why frame this as dispersing when they have intentionally trapped them in an enclosed space?

Looks manufactured to me after everything that happened today. Ben got his front page? Ben is pleased? Gladys gets a gold star?

👏👏👏

If they are in the station, as they were, they are going home. FFS! Bloody police! blacklivesmatteraustralia BlackLivesMattters

That’s not a “small” number. You should be asking why they used it rather than framing it as “dispersing”

Info_Aus “Disperse”

CanisAzureus yes

Asher_Wolf There’s the shot. Couldn’t keep it in you pants could you. Just itching to create a bit of chaos. Well... we’ll done ya plodder! What a bunch of tools.

D_Melissa2 These are the citizens they are there to PROTECT!

Pigs in action. ACAB worlwide

'in Central Station' You mean people who were literally just trying to go home.

this is both a show of force and a test of their limits. if our government fails to investigate, condemn and prosecute those responsible, it’ll amount to condoning it. there’ll be even more instances of police inciting unwarranted violence in future if that comes to pass.

Just couldn't help themselves. Uniformed thugs, the lot of 'em.

It’s not dispersing when they were corralled into a confined space and blocked from exiting.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does that look like dispersing or trapping?

Racist police couldn't help themselves

This is Peter Dutton

lauramoates Stop playing this down. It wasn't a small number. It wasn't warranted. It wasn't necessary.

Looks like the police are rioting to me.

nswpolice you tarnish what could have been an excellent response GladysB blacklivesmatteraustralia

YARdhieu things got crazy

This is disgusting 😡 ACAB

Police have directed protesters into a confined space and sprayed capsicum spray into a crowd, okay thanks got it

I think NZers were very fortunate Level 2 rules were broken and the Police decided not to inflame an emotional protest and Ardern was pissed off...All in all a very successful GeorgeFloydMattered protest Even Lorde attended the Auckland protest

they really just went ahead and used a DISPERSAL WEAPON which inhibits breathing in an ENCLOSED UNDERGROUND TRAIN STATION during a respiratory pandemic huh

Asher_Wolf Someone needs to teach nswpolice how to de-escalate situations. Their first instinct is to exert force. It’s really quite sad and they need to learn a better way of managing the community that employs them.

That’s an official looking first aid vest😂😂

They just couldn't help themselves.

I weep for the future. This generation of imbeciles.

Nobody could predict that thousands of criminals would not follow the law.

Asher_Wolf Why?

Small?

What the hell for? Tantrum for being asked to step back after the Court of Appeal found for the people? Thoroughly peaceful rally and march with thousands - but no, the bully boys have to flex at the close. Twits.

Daily Telegraph just got the story they yearned for. Bolt is frothing at the mouth and Sky News is writing Antifa into their news banners as we speak. 🙄

Good.

There are always the intransigent kids in the back row that spoil everything.

Why? What possible reason?

What will GladysB have to say about this
