Police body-worn camera footage, which was leaked to a social media account and widely shared over the weekend, reveals a male police officer telling his colleagues during the 9 February protest at Sydney town hall against a visit by the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog: “I fucking pumped that removed.”
A female officer can be heard replying, “So funny,” before the male officer says: “Then I punched him in the head when he was down.”
The premier, Chris Minns, had previously urged the public “to not look at a 10-second clip without the full context” after a number of videos went viral showing police allegedly punching protesters and dragging Muslim worshippers away while they were praying.

You wouldn't believe the shit cops say in private. I have deployed alongside them a few times and I swear to god they're mostly mad as a cut snake.

So uh... What's the full context? That hiring practices and culture of Sydney police department selects for people with violent traits rather than empathy and deescalation?

Australian police are Zionists that's all.

In that case you should have left the original text in when editing. What am I supposed to ridicule now? Self-flagellation is quite common, and we don't kink-shame here anyway.
