VicPol villain Luke Cornelius fronting the media now.

Apparently will not just be dispersing protests on Sat, they& #39;ll be combing the suburbs looking for people who MAY be going to protest. Why not just fit us all with ankle bracelets and get it over with? #springst
Also complains that policing protests & #39;takes precious resources away from effectively policing our community& #39;.

That would be technically true if the police were effectively policing to begin with. Violent crime has been soaring for years, but police focus on FB posts. #springst
And GET THIS, he says #ZoeLee arrest & #39;terrible optics& #39;, but that he & #39;considered the circumstances about whether it was appropriate& #39; and is & #39;are absolutely satisfied the members behaved appropriately& #39;. #springst
"It& #39;s important to remember, when we put someone in handcuffs, we& #39;re not putting them in handcuffs for all time."

Unbelievable.
"Hand cuffs were removed from that person once the premises were secure."

How in God& #39;s name was the house insecure? What were they protecting themselves from, the kids& #39; toys?
"Our members did everything they could to secure their safety and the safety of the persons involved."

Tell that to #ZoeLee& #39;s kid who was literally hiding under the bed. #springst
"We take suspects as we find them."

In other words, putting a pregnant woman in handcuffs in front of her own children over a Facebook post is common practice. #springst
"I won& #39;t apologise for holding selfish people to account for serious breaches of the public health orders."

We& #39;re talking about a Facebook post here. #springst
So there you have it. No apology, no contrition. Only regret is that it was & #39;bad optics& #39;.

@VictoriaPolice are out of control. @LisanevilleMP must rein them in or resign. This kind of police behaviour is unacceptable in a free society. #springst
And a reminder, this is the VERY SAME COP who said he & #39;respected the right to protest& #39; before the Black Lives Matter rallies. #springst https://twitter.com/TheIPA/status/1300697630691917826?s=20">https://twitter.com/TheIPA/st...
