They made a tactical blunder. When police are passive, you need to take close up pictures of their faces, as well as violent acts while they stand there like lumps.
Then you publish pictures of their faces on a website outside the reach of the government, asking each one if they were ordered to stand there and not enforce the law, or if they did so on their own?
This works in two ways. First of all, it strongly implies that these are “political” police, that they do not respect equality before the law for some people.
Even more important, it lets religious people know that these police as individuals do not respect them or their faith, so cannot be expected to act as police should, that they are on their own, and must enforce the law themselves.
And if they seem them in church, to know that they are hypocrites, and condemn them to their faces, even in front of their families.
This is really hardball stuff, but it will likely make them really complain and whine. This doesn’t help their argument, and makes it much more likely that in future, they will do their job.
Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking. If the police are standing by while the lawbreakers are creating mayhem, then the problem is a lot worse than we can imagine. The lawlessness among the “law enforcers” has broken down severely here in the US as well. People are arrested for no reason. People are being shot in their beds in cases of mistaken addresses. This situation in Australia needs to be accounted for by their govt. officials. Who indeed told the police to allow the beatings? Hard to believe they did it on their own. Mad Max times are upon us.
