LETTER TO PREMIER MINNS from James R
Dear Premier Minns I was arrested yesterday outside the Sydney Town Hall yesterday evening charged with
assaulting a police officer. During my violent arrest I sustained several bloody injuries. I can barely walk today and my right
kidney hurts very badly as a result of its being punched. Or perhaps I have a cracked rib? The demonstration was pretty much over when the police, backed up by eight or so fellow officers on horseback, started to aggressively push the crowd south, into an already very crowded space. I have witnessed this tactic before - used by police to generate a violent
retaliatory response. Up until then the police had been calm and respectful of we demonstrators. Then, they changed
and became violent, as the footage you would have access to makes clear. Clearly, someone in the chain of command instructed the police to create chaos and violent confrontations in order to retrospectively justify the large police presence yesterday, to use as evidence in support of the banning of future demonstrations, and in the hope that the media will
play along and hold we demonstrators responsible for inciting violence.
Was it you who issued the edict to foment violence or someone else in the chain of command? After 5 hours in a police cell with no offer of water or medical attention for my various injuries I was released without charge - the 'assault police officer' allegation having been dropped when
it became apparent, from body cam footage, that I had not done so. 1am a 76 year old filmmaker and journalist and request a response to this letter and an indication of whom I should approach within your government to have my spectacles and torn
short replaced and my medical expenses paid?
