A top NSW cop has wished a Black Lives Matter protester "best of luck at court" after he defiantly tore up his $1000 fine for attending today's Sydney rally.

A Black Lives Matter protest in Sydney has been busted up by police before it even began, with organiser Paddy Gibson being escorted into State Parliament by Greens MP Jenny Leong after he was arrested and fined.

Organisers of today’s BLM protest in the Domain vowed “the struggle for justice will continue”, after around 50 protesters were confronted by as many as 400 police. Six people were arrested – five of them were issued $1000 fines, while a 25-year-old woman copped a Criminal Infringement Notice for offensive language.

“As we said all along, we are not anti-the right to protest,” NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mick Willing told reporters. “This is about public safety. At the end of the day, we are in the middle of a pandemic. The Supreme Court judge himself described the current situation in NSW as being on a knife’s edge.”

The rally was declared illegal after organisers yesterday lost an appeal against a court ruling on Sunday banning the gathering. One protester tore up his fine in front of reporters, vowing to take is “all the way to the Supreme Court”. “Well, best of luck to you at court,” Mr Willing said.

They should have to pay all the costs incurred.

Oregon State Police end defense of federal courthouse in Portland, DHS reacts



Progressive leftist PsOS!

pathetic isnt it?...

I call them regressives nothing progressive about them..

Hundreds of Portland, Oregon, protesters arrested during two months of clashes with law enforcement won’t be prosecuted, the city’s district attorney announced.

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt unveiled the policy change Tuesday regarding hundreds of the 550 protest-related arrests since late May.

Under the new policy, Schmidt’s office will “presumptively decline” to prosecute cases that don’t fit his criteria, including interfering with a peace, parole or probation officer; second-degree disorderly conduct; first- or second-degree criminal trespass; third-degree escape and harassment. Rioting charges will also not be prosecuted unless accompanied by another crime not included in the list, Schmidt said.

The move will likely lead to no charges for “hundreds of people” arrested since May 29, a spokesman for the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office told The Post.

“Violent crimes, arsons and intentional property damage cases will still be prosecuted,” spokesman Brent Weisberg said.

Portland police have referred 550 cases to the DA’s office since the protests began on May 29, four days after George Floyd’s police-custody killing in Minneapolis. Of those, about 140 were felony crimes, including assault, arson, riot and theft.

Prosecutors are moving ahead in only around 45 of those cases, while the remainder were dropped or are deemed under review, Weisberg said.

Meanwhile, the protests in Portland reached 76 straight days, but with no arrests late Tuesday and early Wednesday, police said.

One group of protesters blocked traffic in downtown Portland for several hours, but the “gathering was peaceful” and officers did not need to interact with the crowd, police said in a statement Wednesday.

A separate group of several hundred people gathered late Tuesday at Laurelhurst Park before marching to the Penumbra Kelly Building, which is shared by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and Portland police, KOIN reports.

Portland cops say they were pelted with ball bearings, golf balls
Demonstrators there chanted “Black lives matter” during the protest billed as a “direct action march,” the station reports.

The group blocked traffic for several hours near the law enforcement facility before a few protesters “entered upon” the property, police said.

“Once again, Portland Police began making public address announcements reminding the crowd they were to remain off of the property or they would be subject to arrest,” police said. “The group members left the property after hearing the announcement.”

No arrests were made during either protest and a majority of the crowd left the area by 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, police said.

The demonstrations were a departure from recent violence at the demonstrations toward Portland cops, who were struck with “dangerous objects” like ball bearings, golf balls and potatoes as recently as Monday.

Previous protests have also included lit fireworks tossed at police and fires set by demonstrators, The Oregonian reports.

[Black Orchid]

They are rioting and looting because they have an agenda and the leftist run states and the media are condoning and encouraging this because they have an agenda too. All one in the same. November 2020!

It has absolutely nothing to do with George Floyd or injustice.

Blake had knife in car when Kenosha cop shot him: Wisconsin DOJ

Blake admitted to having the knife during the investigation

Jacob Blake had a knife on the floorboard of his car when he was shot by police, said the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which also has identified the shooting officer as Rusten Sheskey.

The knife was recovered from the driver's side floorboard of Blake's SUV, the agency said. It did not say whether Blake was holding the knife when Sheskey, a seven-year veteran of the Kenosha Police Department, shot him Sunday evening.

Blake admitted to having the knife during the investigation, officials said. No other weapons were recovered.

Of course he had a weapon. Convictions for resisting arrest, domestic violence and sexual assault. Warrants out for his arrest for another violent crime. So he resists arrest yet again then reaches into his car for a knife and is being hailed as a victim and martyr by the leftist thugs.

Dems are playing games, withholding information and people are dying. These people and those who support them are nothing but scum!

For the bozos ...

The Kenosha, Wis., police union issued a statement Friday on the police shooting of Jacob Blake, an incident last Sunday that sparked protests and rioting in the city this week that led to at least two deaths.

Authorities have said Blake, 29, was shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police Officer Rusten Sheskey while being taken into custody. On Friday he remained paralyzed in a Kenosha hospital.

Video of the incident shot by a bystander set off violent nightly protests -- including Tuesday night's unrest, in which a 17-year-old from Illinois allegedly fatally shot two people and wounded a third.

In Sunday's incident, Blake was "armed with a knife" and "forcefully fought" with officers, putting one of them in a headlock, Brendan Matthews, an attorney for the Kenosha Professional Police Association, said Friday, according to Kenosha News.

State investigators, however, said Blake had a knife "in his possession," and it was later recovered from the floorboard of his vehicle, FOX 6 of Milwaukee reported.

The police union statement added that most accounts of the shooting were "wholly inaccurate" and "purely fictional,” Kenosha News reported.

Matthews said officers first tried unsuccessfully to subdue Blake with stun guns.

Blake’s lawyer claimed his client was trying to break up a domestic dispute before his arrest and he was unarmed at the time.

“The purely fictional depiction of events coming from those without direct knowledge of what actually occurred is incredibly harmful, and provides no benefit to anyone whatsoever, other than to perpetuate a misleading narrative,” Matthews stated.

“Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers issued repeated commands for Mr. Blake to drop the knife. He did not comply.”

The 20-second video shot by a bystander doesn’t show what led up to the shooting and Wisconsin authorities have given few details.
