Two men charged with allegedly hitting police horses during Sydney lockdown protest

Two men have been charged with hitting police horses during yesterday's anti-lockdown protest in Sydney's CBD, which saw protesters wrestle with police officers.57 people have been arrested for their role in the anti-lockdown protestAt least 57 people were arrested, as thousands marched down Broadway to Town Hall, breaching public health orders.

An enraged NSW Police Minister David Elliott branded the participants in the illegal protest "a whole lot of halfwits".Deputy Commissioner Gary Warboys today said police had issued 510 infringement notices in the past 24 hours with "the vast majority of those to people whose behaviour yesterday in and around Sydney could only be described as violent, filthy behaviour, risky behaviour".

Good. Put them in the Covid ICU

It's a good emotive headline, intended to create outrage from people who love animals and horses (who doesn't?). But it's just more shock-jockery fake news, that further undermines the ABC's credibility.

Craig_Foster Why were police surprised right-wing proud boy types were more violent than the usual protesters? Experience here & abroad makes it pretty clear they feel entitled to behave however violently they like. Some of them still hiding in buffs, but refusing to wear functional masks.

Yazzy_321 Were the police charged with endangering an animal? Police using horses as weapons is animal abuse.

Oh man there was two of them

It's the police who should be charged for animal cruelty

I’m more than happy to face these animal punching cowards to see if they like it when punches are returned 👊🏽

It’s not alleged it is what it is , it clearly shows a tosser punching a horses face hellooooo

Protest march? More like insurrection.

Have to be locked up for at least 6 months and massively fined

Common theme here with riots at Washington DC in January.

That’s brutal and doesn’t respect Australian people either

Democracy country should not arrest protesters who are fighting for their freedom right?

Literally throw the book at them, there needs to be example made. Otherwise protesters get away with anything they do at these rallies. Or hopefully stop Rallies altogether.

Check this out boofheads.

An enraged NSW Police Minister David Elliott branded the participants in the illegal protest 'a whole lot of halfwits'. 'Halfwits' is an understatement. I don't have words to describe these people. Utterly disgusted.

I wonder if their Mums are proud of them? Did it help their cause? FreeDumb freedumbrally freedumbidiots

Massive fines and several months in jail. The only solution and punishment.

Cockroaches!

They break law and regulations, destroy Australia, ruin Sydney. Sucks. Hong Kong, Uighur mobs rioters same. Destroy ruin the city, But Australia support these Hong Kong Uighur rioters mobs strongly. Ironic

'charged with allegedly hitting'

They're not protestors anymore. They are now bio-terrorist agents who are intent on spreading fatal disease.

watching the actual video exposes the absurdity of the charge & the complicity of FakeNewsMedia in this BS

💥 Dirty pants = cops had him face down in the flower garden 😁
