According to Greenleft, Occupy Melbourne had called for a full inquiry into unlawful police behaviour amid scenes of police violence on the streets of Melbourne. The call came after riot police disrupted a peaceful demonstration in Melbourne’s CBD.
More than 20 statements had been taken from individuals who had experienced police violence including eye gouging, kicks to the groin, punches to the face, knees to the face and arbitrary pepper spraying, including of minors. One incident involved an elderly woman with a walking stick who was pushed to the ground by riot police,” she said.
Occupy Melbourne’s legal support team also said they had evidence of dozens of Police on duty without name tags or badges, in breach of police regulations and previous assurances from Victoria Police that all officers would be identifiable as required by law.
