Cop Uses Man’s Head as Basketball! (No Foul Reported) By Tom North (Melbourne Inmate)
Police across the West do the cutest things … no, that is the old TV show about kids. Rather, across the West, cops sit on people’s necks, kick heads like footballs, and now pound a man’s head into the ground as if his head was a basketball! The optics look bad, but it could be worse. At least the protester was not shot, so that is something. Today, in the New Aussie South Korea, we have to be grateful for small mercies, as they are. Let us not forget who we are; we are prison inmates, convicts in our own homes in penal colony Australia, not even slaves anymore. We send an SOS to the world, our “Message in the Bottle.”

Message In A Bottle
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I'll send an S.O.S to the world
I'll send an S.O.S to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
Or love can break your heart …
(Note the subtle irony of using the band, the Police, clever, eh?)
“A Melbourne man who was flung headfirst to the ground by a police officer who approached him from behind amid a high-intensity anti-protest operation was “calling for his mum” when he woke up from being unconscious, according to a “distressed” witness.
Shocking footage has emerged of an officer walking up behind the man standing in Flinders Street Station yesterday, before violently slamming him headfirst into the ground.
The video — which police say they are investigating — is being spread widely on social media and was filmed during widespread unrest in the city.
The victim appears to be standing in the station, calmly talking to several other police officers, when the officer approaches from behind.
The officer grabs the man by the shoulders and throws him to the ground in a swinging motion.
The man’s face can be seen bouncing off the ground as his headphones go flying.
“This poor guy was calm, he was just talking to the police,” the woman who posted the footage wrote in the caption.
“You can see it in the video then he gets thrown to the ground. You can hear his face hit the tiles. He was unconscious, blood and urine everywhere.”
The woman who posted the video, whose colleague recorded the footage, told news.com.au that the man was “unconscious for a while”.
“When he woke up he was calling for his mum,” she said.
The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the police officer who took the man down handcuffed him while he was unconscious. Paramedics did attended but reportedly were told by police they were not needed.
“We are all very disturbed by this and I’ve been inundated with people worldwide wanting to know if this man is all right,” she said. “We understand the paramedics looked at him but not sure what happened after that.”
Victoria Police said they are aware of a video circulating on social media depicting an arrest at Flinders Street Station.
“The exact circumstances around the incident are yet to be determined and are under investigation by both Transit Safety Division and Professional Standards Command,” they said.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident, including the person who took the footage and the person depicted in the vision, are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton today confirmed police are reviewing the footage.
“We’ll investigate that,” Mr Patton told 3AW. “I don’t know what the full circumstances are. There’s always context to everything.”
Mr Patton said police by and large were responding proportionately in an environment that was dynamic, threatening and frightening.
“I couldn’t be prouder of them. What they’ve done and the way they’ve conducted themselves,” he said.
Of course there’ll be incidents that appear, or may be inappropriate, but any of them that are, we will fully investigate.”
News.com.au has reached out to Victoria Police for further comment and has checked with health authorities for an update on the man’s condition.
A spokesperson for Ambulance Victoria said their services were “not required at this job”.
The video emerged amid tense scenes in the city yesterday as construction workers staged a third straight day of action over mandatory Covid vaccination rules.
Premier Daniel Andrews today he condemned the “ugly” actions of protesters. He said police tactics yesterday were effective, and condemned reports of police being spat at.
“Why would you spit on people who are doing that sort of work? That is ugly. That is uncalled for,” he said.”
Is it time for a defund the government movement yet?
