Were the police heavy handed?

See this video:

I feel sorry for the little boy crying for his Mother.
Surely it could have been handled better?

The video starts with the police physically removing her.

Why didn't it show the numerous move on requests that would have proceeded that?

The thing is, this is clearly not an aggressive political activist, destroying and damaging property -
so why the heavy handed tactics from police?

She obviously ignored a police directive to move on and used her child as a shield.

Here's a good tip. When you're with your kids, comply with police directives even if you don't want to. Want to dig your heels in, drop kid of at grandmas house then come back and get yourself arrested.

Couldn't they have just told her to go home? -
or maybe she had a right to protest?
This is a free country isn't it?

When police give you a directive you disagree with, you comply then take it up with their superior or your local MP at a later stage.

If you want to argue the point, you end up in a paddy wagon.

At Bondi today the cops were strictly enforcing 'swim and go'.

You drop your towel on the beach at a designated section, enter the water for as long as you like then depart the beach immediately when you exit the water. I few people thought they were special and the rule didn't apply to them, the police very politely asked them to move on, anyone who didn't got the serious police game on face.

One woman, a big fat drunk abo got frog marched off the beach for not complying.

Yes but there are laws. Like I said tho, if she wanted to disobey a police directive, take the kid home first. What was she protesting?

Isn't it a pity that the kid's parents found it necessary to abuse their son by using him as a 'shield' (so to speak) to break the law? Also Blobby, did this kid's parents not consider that their child was at risk of being infected with coronavirus when they took him along with them and placed him in the middle of this disorder just so they could use the little boy to garner sympathy from onlookers?

And to answer your silly question NO the police were not 'heavy handed'.....they were doing their job......

So it's her fault for speaking?
