Very disturbing. Interested to see how this is followed up.
Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Her reaction wasn't even on 'The Wheel of Worry'. She'd crossed over into that vexatious zone that includes the dreaded 'Furrowed Brow'.
Susan Collins is such a brave hack. She waited until the post was deleted before weighing in.

Thankfully, the same applies to us lucky folk Down Under. For now anyway.
In other words, appeal to hatred.
It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering
