Video footage shows police wrestling a protester to the ground in Brisbane today as demonstrators threatened to “shut down” the city.

After the arrests, the protesters decided to march to the Roma Street watch house and Magistrates Court.Police once again surrounded the protesters, a number of whom sat down on the road outside the court.After demanding – and being granted – a meeting with a representative from the police commissioner’s office, the group then agreed to peacefully disperse.A Black Lives Matter protester confronting police officers outside the Roma Street Magistrates Court.

Labor Senators Malarndirri McCarthy and Pat Dodson both delivered powerful statements about Indigenous deaths in custody. “In recent weeks, we’ve seen hundreds of thousands of Australians take to the streets to march and to call on the reduction that’s necessary for black deaths in custody, and certainly the high incarceration rates of First Nations people,” Ms McCarthy said.“These are the people that hundreds of thousands of Australians walked the streets for this week, last week, and will no doubt continue to do so,” said the Senator.

“We don’t know some of the others, a lot of the other names. But we certainly pay our respects to those families still seeking justice, equality and fairness in our country. And we must never stop the pursuit of justice, equality and fairness for all Australians – particularly First Nations people.”“Since the report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody, nearly 440 Aboriginal people have died in custody.

“A death in custody does not, as a fact, impute guilt or culpability to the officers in attendance or to the institution per se. It does raise the question of what happened when the death occurred and why the person came to be in custody.”

Media, trouble makers.

That kid should have blackfaced Would make juicier media

FGS Stop this police baiting. You, the press are to blame for pushing this American problem here. Just don’t call them if you need them..simple really.

It’s systematic. Every cop knows the same trick

'Get your knee off him'....its on his leg and this is not America...looking and hoping for the money shot to justify an issue that doesn't measure up to that of the US. Thank you QldPolice

Why do police feel so threatened when citizens stand up for their rights. The whole institution is corrupt .

Well done to the QldPolice . Thank you for your hard and thankless work. Especially in these difficult times.

'Human Rights are not optional' yeah everyone knows that.... neither is breaking the laws. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Good stuff... cut the head off the snake

Time to charge these cruel low intellect police with assault. No wonder they are now the most hated group in our community. They have been watching to much American TV. Will this SS style ever be stopped.

Give the police free reign to do what they need to clear the streets. Enough is enough.

Support our police. 👮‍♂️👮‍♂️🇦🇺🇦🇺

Did you clowns miss this story: I’d bet you lot would be all over if the colour scheme was reversed.

I hope the protestor got hurt...

Police have the support of the majority that would agree to lock these idiots up and especially those who make remarks in the background that usually have no idea what's really happening

If Plasmaduck can't open her borders for safety reasons these people shouldn't be out on the streets

And your point is?

So you have preached about women needing to speak out about domestic violence- but here a woman is abused in public with video evidence and the police won’t do anything until a “complaint” is made. Broken ribs, fractures.... and nada

It’s what they wanted all along, so they could grandstand on the world stage and say “ look everyone we riot here too “

Good. Law and order people. Law and order.

Great job QldPolice

QldPolice you guys are receiving some great support from the public. Congrats on a top job. 👏👏👏

..let's not forget the police got ambushed last night, anyone who assaults a police officer should get sent to jails for 10fold whatever a judge gives them!

“Law and order experts” telling the cops how to do their jobs!

You be a cop and put up with this shit even the dog filming should be stripped of there phone and locked up for inciting violence

Sick of all this bullshit. The job of our police officers is hard enough.

“Get off the Street”

It actually shows an unemployed loser resisting arrest...

clear the streets by force

Good work boys. Lock that idiot up.

Police arrest protesters during Black Lives Matter rally in BrisbaneA group of about 100 people marched to Parliament House at lunchtime on Wednesday to protest police brutality against Indigenous Australians and to call for justice for those who have died in custody. 100 peaceful protestors confronted by 100 white armed coppers... Why haven't you reported on this attack in Melbourne SBS News? Honestly, the police looked ridiculous standing around doing nothing. There was no reason for the sheer number of police officers attending to be there.

Footage of SA Police pinning Indigenous man to ground 'concerning'South Australia's premier Steven Marshall has called video of police officers pinning an Indigenous man to the ground 'confronting' and 'very concerning'. 9News They were trying to arrest him.
