Sydney Black Lives Matter protest organiser detained, protesters ordered to move on

does not ban the rally, but leaves participants exposed to potential criminal sanction including for breaching public health orders.Despite the outcome, protesters vowed the rally would go ahead.

Protest organisers had asked those attending to email, fill out an online form or scan a QR code and provide their personal details should contact tracing be required. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mick Willing on Tuesday urged people to avoid the Black Lives Matter protest and said police will not hesitate to arrest people if necessary.

“This is not about the right to protest, we support the right to protest, this is about doing it in a pandemic, and at the moment we just can’t take that risk,” he told 2GB. “We don’t want to have to go down the road of arrests but we are quite prepared to if we have to. “At the end of the day, we want people to stay away from this particular protest, find another time, find another way to express your views.”

Laura_R_Chung nampix I thought the organiser would have been aboriginal. This guy looks white with European or English ancestry. Just saying.

Laura_R_Chung nampix However seemingly noble the avowed intention, it is *highly* probable that a BLM “protest” shall end in rioting, looting & vandalism, as did the last in Sydney. Thank you nswpolice Good work 🙏🏿

Laura_R_Chung nampix Not another irrelevant nobody trying to look powerful and in control, I have no problem with people peacefully demonstrating BUT right in the middle of a killer pandemic is just plain stupid, they will become spreaders.

SallyRMelb Laura_R_Chung nampix Please attend your favourite sporting events! Cram onto public transport, hit your favourite watering hole for a few bevies after, & stop off at your local fast food joint on the way home. But please don’t attend protests that could risk the spread of covid!!

Laura_R_Chung nampix What is the point of this protest!! Wasn’t it made in Melbourne? Parliament is not running and it is postponed, if we still need to make a point can it also wait

Laura_R_Chung nampix Ask about the investigation into the death of the dude that this mob are moaning about..read it, it's all there. These grubs are just trouble makers that haven't had an original thought between them.

Laura_R_Chung nampix Oh mah gawd, if virtue signalling SJW protests cannot go on....

Laura_R_Chung nampix That’s what happens when you breach a Supreme Court Order and put innocent lives at risk.

Laura_R_Chung nampix They're not practicing social distancing at restaurants, cafes, so they should be policing that. Enclosed environments provide the perfect conditions to spread the virus 🦠. Still plan a protest the following week and the following.

Laura_R_Chung nampix Anti maskers?! That’s fine! Anti vaxxers?! That’s their right! It’s free country. BLM... ? How dare you?! This is so selfish! SMH

Laura_R_Chung nampix Gaol the jerk.

Laura_R_Chung nampix BLMSydney protesters by defying the law under pandemic are just creating rejection from public instead of empathy. Right no is not OK. It's just selfishness. Auspol

Laura_R_Chung nampix Great move by the cops. Protests should not be allowed during the virus pandemic. Victoria police should have done the same thing back in May.

Laura_R_Chung nampix Send em home with a bag of lollies, they will be OK

Laura_R_Chung nampix The last marches did not create a spike in cases of COVID19. What has created cases are pubs and restaurants that are indoors and not practicing distancing and reduced numbers. This is where firmer action is needed. BLMSydney auspol

Laura_R_Chung nampix I love a tenacious virtue-signaler

Laura_R_Chung nampix If nswpolice are serious about cracking down on covid breaches than they should be out visiting more restaraunts, cafes and bars. Last night I seen plenty of places not social distancing their patrons. Anything less by them is double standards.

It's not like they're doing an indoor gathering. Should have let the protest go ahead.

Laura_R_Chung nampix Black Lives Matter!

Laura_R_Chung nampix Good on them. Look at our current aged care home crisis don’t spread the virus to our grandpa & grandma. Selfish to the core. They shd be charged for flouting the law not abiding the judge’s ruling, mocking our judiciary system.

Laura_R_Chung nampix Paddy Gibson, the organiser, is a prominent member of the Sydney Chapter of long-standing Trotskyist organisation, Solidarity. Wreaking havoc on our economy via these protests is consistent with the Trotskyist approach, being the Ebola Virus of radical Marxist politics.

Sydney Black Lives Matter protest appeal dismissed for public health reasonsThe NSW Court of Appeal has upheld an earlier ruling that states the rally would be irresponsible given coronavirus restrictions. Good . Now if the rally goes ahead , the NSW cops need to fine everyone attending. Not that I'm opposed to their cause, but THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR NSW to allow at this time. Fold up your banners and all and go home. It happened 5 years ago. What’s wrong with you? It was never a BLM protest anyway. Just Marxists doing their thing trying to cause division and tear down democracy.
