What complete pig spin, are the press aware that they are the Police Associations PR? Because their reputation is being trashed at the moment, rotting from the inside with corruption, racist policing of the African communities in Flemington, looks like the only positive pr they can get in this climate is to have another go at us mob and hide the fact that they brutally bashed people outside the museum.
Tactical and orchestrated on their part for sure. Check this out :

CASE STUDY: Victoria Police at G20
Situation: Victoria Police are involved in crowd control at
major events and protests. The aim of these events is to keep
the crowd peaceful and act quickly if things escalate.
Challenge: During an event, on-site officers move amongst
the crowd reporting activities and crowd behaviour to the
Police Operations Centre (POC) and/or Forward Command.
Traditional approaches to crowd management involve officers
patrolling in-the-field and then relaying information via radio.
Incidents can often only be dealt with in a reactive manner
once they are occurring.
The G20 meetings, held all over the world, often result in
protests and demonstrations. In anticipation of Melbourne
hosting the G20 Victoria Police wanted to investigate the
how live video streaming could assist with more accurate
information gathering and quicker decision-making.
Solution: Officers moving around in the field used the
fully mobile m-View GoPack, allowing experts at Command
and Control to watch the action as it happened. Police
captured and streamed video from the protest live to POC and
Forward Command. Many high-quality snapshots were taken,
recording crowd behavior and evidence.

Sunday afternoon a group of 50 demonstrators were beaten and trampled by police during a peaceful anti-G20 protest inside the foyer of the Melbourne museum.
A woman was severely injured after police used batons and fists to disperse the small group of singing, dancing demonstrators. Several hundred police, including two divisions of riot police, were deployed in the incident.
The group consisted mostly of women and included musicians and children. “We were given no warning and were not asked to leave before police charged.” Said one of the demonstrators. Members of the group were badly shaken after the event, and the severely injured woman was hospitalised with suspected broken ribs.
“We were singing and dancing at the front of the Melbourne Museum, as a non-violent way of publicly raising our concerns about the G20”, said one of the demonstrators. “Without warning we were baton-charged by heaps of cops. It was frightening, especially when a couple of busloads of riot police turned up afterwards.”
Police only called an ambulance to attend to the injured woman 10 minutes after the incident, despite repeated requests from members of the group.
Protesters afterwards attempted to disperse peacefully, but were followed for twenty minutes by a large police contingent.
Today's incident follows on from two days of protesting against the G20, a gathering of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and the heads of the IMF and World Bank.
