This is nothing but assault by police. Three of them are holding him while simultaneously punching him with force and for no reason. It wasn’t self defence.
Criminal acts by police must be met with charges and maximum sentences. Police can not be ignorant of the law or hide behind badges.

Can anyone point to the legislation that states once a person puts a police uniform on they are exempt from breaking the law?
And why do police need military style automatic rifles in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world?
Or vehicles like BearCats?

Parliament, courts and police have no inherent power, they get their power from the will of the people.
It is increasingly obvious that all three are working against the will of the people.
Is it time to storm Parliament House and take back our power?
I think it is.
