But that second sunshine in our eyes.

The footage of Australian police acting like ICE agents is pretty shocking, but the media broadly stepping up to downplay, deny and mis-describe their violence in ambiguous terms is completely unsurprising.
It's an industry fundamentally incapable of ever assigning any blame to the police: ever

A protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit is under way at Sydney’s Town Hall. Police have capsicum-sprayed dozens of protesters and members of the media as clashes turn increasingly violent. Live updates: shorturl.at/Wq8BD

Right, so the police and Premier are running a line that you can't look at single clips of police assaulting peaceful protesters. You have to understand the context. Hmmm where have I heard that before?

the ABC also went out of their way to present the murder of Renee Good by ICE thugs as a vague and unknowable debate, even as the new york freaking times couldn't deny what happened.
The institution is fundamentally pro-fascist now - how else can you describe going out of one's way to do this?

At this point any media outlet both-sidesing what even the New York Times admits was a murder is actively assisting a racist, fascist regime. This @abcnewsbot.bsky.social article is absolute garbage - centralising the gov't accounts and failing to point out the direct contradictions. ABC is cooked
![Verified footage captured at the scene shows what appears to be a scuffle between officers, Mr Pretti and two other protesters.
One of the protesters is pushed by an officer and falls. As Mr Pretti reaches for them, he is sprayed and surrounded by agents.
He struggles as he's wrestled to the ground, with one of the officers then seen striking him.
One agent appears to draw their weapon before multiple gun shots are heard. It's not clear from the videos who fired the first shot.
The agents then back away, leaving the man lying on the road as bystanders are heard screaming.
Officers are later seen administering medical aid, but Mr Pretti was pronounced dead at the scene.
Opposing narratives from local and federal authorities
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the officers' actions, arguing Mr Pretti was in possession of two loaded magazines as well as the handgun.
"This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers, committed an act of domestic terrorism," she said.
"They [the agents] responded according to their training and took action to defend the officer's life and those of the public around him."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreihhr6d5y7jtcbw5f4ainvzstaal6r6odgubxa22cuiwwh2bc66blu@jpeg)
