I was once knocked out by a punch from somebody who was calm and was not resisting in any way (until the punch obviously).
Never know what people are going to do under pressure. Particularly when they're chesting up with the "what am I being arrested for?!!" line. Can happen in an instant.
2 officers talking to 1 suspect whom multiple calls had come in to report. A little different than a veritable army of armoured police bringing down a obvious journalist (mic, camera, sound guy) mid report. The footage couldn't be any clearer. If he wasn't a 'right winger' this would be massive news.

likewise if he was from Triple J reporting on a BLM protest you wouldn't give a fuck

I find it interesting that he needs a sound guy TBH. Having ended up in front of the camera a bit the last few years, most of the time it is a reporter with a camera guy who does all the lights and mic work. Maybe Rebel News has a bigger budget than MSM?
The footage couldn't be any clearer.
It could, because the "FULL" video footage doesn't show everything at this point. I'm keen to see what led the commander to take that action as that is the most questionable part.
Yemini has said he'll be releasing more footage, so let's see it. I am happy to be corrected once he moves beyond putting up clips of someone saying "Dickheads" on loop like some kid with a copy of iMovie.
What I do hear in the footage is someone (female) screaming "They've got us Avi!" so not sure what that is about. Maybe one of his fans got him in shit by accident?
If he wasn't a 'right winger' this would be massive news.
I would say it is less to do with his politics, and more about the established media not giving two shits about a known agitator with a record of stirring up the fringe to make a living.
He even refers to them as "fake news" in the video above, so why would they go near him?
If there was a juicy story there, the media would be all over it for the clicks in order to set up a buffer for themselves while remaining at arm's length.
If it came right down to it, they could arrest him for not wearing a mask and therefore not being compliant with the standing regulations, media status or no. It is even referenced when he's trying to interview the guy in a suit on the video, that he should put his mask on and stand back 1.5m
That after-hours visit from the cops looks utterly wrong but I believe they could easily justify it doing that for COVID compliance as well (as they did for visiting other citizens during lockdown). Wish he'd taken out his phone and recorded that face to face instead of using a security camera that shows us nothing. He's on his own property, and has every right to do so.
Away from the subject of Yemini: This whole shtick of saying the government is acting like Communist China (!!!) and the continual "Dictator Dan" references? Completely ignore the fact that you can publicly criticise the government and not get disappeared like you would in China.

I would, it's the same principle

interesting that there is clear video and audio footage yet all explanations revolve around hypothetical " evidence" and always return to personalities.
I simply want to know what the accepted and legal behaviour from the police is.
From there the public can organise themselves knowing the boundaries that exist.Clearly this isn't the case in Victoria for the last few months

Yemini has said he'll be releasing more footage,
Without bothering to watch any footage as yet, why would he say he's going to release more footage and not just release it?
The cynic in me wonders what is he editing?

I tend to be sympathic to those leaning rightish ... but I dont get the militant anti-maskers
I'm not smart enough to know which way I lean, but when someone posts a 20 minute video with a caveat of "I'll release more footage over coming days", my BS alarm is triggered, rightly or wrongly.

Why?
It makes sense to keep the length down (20 minutes is long enough for one video). And not give everything all in one hit for information that needs longer than 20 minutes

Some people want more than their 15 minutes...

Maybe because its unhealthy to wear a mask all day. Some people prefer to follow a more natural path in life rather than being forced not to by nanny state Govts
Do you own shoes? 🤔

No ones being forced to wear shoes. And many don't when its very hot
Seat belts are a better example. But I have no issues with them as they don't have an adverse health impact. And are comfortable enough -
