Occupy Melbourne asks: “Who’s breaking the law now?”
A brilliantly playful response to a series of brutal police actions: chaos on November 25, and a prior eviction using “attack horses” and point blank pepper spray on October 21, shown in respective videos below.
Official Response: “Police have informed Occupy Melbourne that anyone wearing a tent will be arrested.” Seriously, illegal to wear a tent?
Police have informed Occupy Melbourne that anyone wearing a tent will be arrested. Legal needed on site #omel youtube.com/watch?v=zKMwig…—
