Rally against police brutality


I missed this yesterday as I was in bed. Heard a rumour there was going to be one. Yesterday gay people had a rally to protest against police brutality. A large number considering how recent events were.
Rallying against alleged police brutality at Saturday’s Sydney Mardi Gras, a large, spirited but non-violent crowd gathered tonight to send NSW Police a message.

Organised by activism group Community Action Against Homophobia, chants included “No justice, no peace, stop violent police,” and “Stop police attacks on gays, women and blacks,” as an estimated 2,000 people marched down Oxford Street from Taylor Square to outside Surry Hills Police Station a few blocks nearby and back again. more
