A protester being taken away by police from a protest in Sydney at the weekend Rick Rycroft/AP/Press Association Images

Five arrested after police storm building taken over by Occupy Sydney protesters

Police used grinders to access an abandoned building in Sydney where up to 10 protesters had squatted as part of the Occupy Sydney protests.

Updated 12.45pm

FIVE PEOPLE WERE arrested after police used grinders to entry a building taken over by Occupy Sydney protesters.

New South Wales police said on their Facebook page that they arrested five protesters who had allegedly barricaded themselves into an unused office building.

At about 4.30pm, the police were informed that the Occupy Sydney protesters had forced entry into the building on Clarence St via the rear fire doors.

The protesters unfurled a banner onto the outside of a window.

The police attending the scene included the Public Order and Riot Squad, Operational Support Group, Police Rescue and Bomb Disposal Squad and the dog unit.

NSW Police commented:

Officers attempted to communicate with the protestors inside the building, however, they refused to speak with police.
About 9:30pm, Police Rescue officers forced entry to the building and had to use grinders to gain access due to a number of doors having been barricaded.

Police entered the premises and arrested four men aged 22, 27, 32 and 44 and a 27-year-old woman, who they took to Surry Hills Police Station.

They are expected to be charged with trespass.

About 40 protestors, who had formed up outside the building, were moved-on by police with one man arrested for failing to comply with a police direction.
He has also been taken to Surry Hills Police Station.

A live stream of the scene was broadcast by Occupy Sydney Media on UStream.

Protesters were heard to shout “stop hurting me” and “I’m allowed to be here, I’m a pedestrian” as police tried to move them on from the road across from the building.

They also chanted “This is not a riot” to police.

Police asked activists to move as they were obstructing the footpath.

Activists converged on the Town Hall on Saturday with banners bearing the slogans such as “You can’t eat money” and “Stop brutality”.

Last month, police were accused of using excessive force after 40 protesters were arrested in a dawn raid that ended the group’s weeklong protest at the mall, known as Martin Place, which is home to several banks and other corporations.

People have been tweeting about the situation using the #occupysydney hashtag on Twitter.

And then there’s the fake moon landing lot! That would be some cover up involving 1000s of people and paying off the Russians to keep quite. Dr’s Dunning and Kruger needs to treat them all.

    @west awake: Not a hoax. You are earning your keep again. Russophile’s and GOP falsely claim this. People were jailed for collusion. Plenty of evidence for collusion in the Muller report plus publications such as The Road to Unfreedom by Timothy Snyder and Putin’s People by Belton. Then there is Trump’s bowing to Putin on every occasion and siding with Russia while POTUS. Helsinki 2018 shows a POTUS being supplicant to a Russian leader. Trump is not a supplicant man. There is a good reason behind it. Putin has compromising evidence on Trump. No one knows what that is. We can all guess and it’s not good.

    @HP M: Critical thinking is the ability to find sound, factual information amongst chaff. Conspiracy theorists mistakenly call themselves critical thinkers because they find themselves so far down the rabbit hole of chaff, that they start to subconsciously believe that this chaff, or useless information, is actually fact. This rabbit hole explanation has been proven over and over again, not just recently with the Covid / vaccine / pandemic theories, but with the UFO hysteria in the 60’s and the lizard people population theory to name just a few.

    Research is NOT:
    Googling, scrolling your FB newsfeed, or watching YouTube to search for the results you are hoping to find to be “true.” These are called confirmation biases and are quickly and easily ruled out when doing actual research.

    Once a population are kept in a state of anxiety through convictions of impending doom, they will not respond to situations that are normal and do not serve an agenda. I explained what purpose the scientific method serves in this respect but it is the beginning of the end when the accurate description is erased and any further comment is blocked. Fair enough even if dismaying.

    There is no real difference between an opinion and a conspiracy for often a mob are driven to protect themselves and their convictions because it gives them satisfaction, in the same way, people enjoy horror movies.

    ” My dear Kepler, I wish that we might laugh at the remarkable stupidity of the common herd. What do you have to say about the principal philosophers of this academy who are filled with the stubbornness of an asp and do not want to look at either the planets, the moon or the telescope, even though I have freely and deliberately offered them the opportunity a thousand times? Truly, just as the asp stops its ears, so do these philosophers shut their eyes to the light of truth.” Galileo

    I don’t see conspiracies, I see laziness and indifference just as Yeats wrote in his most overused statement-

    “Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.”
    Yeats

    I don’t control the narrative, I share information and that is the difference between a misguided and dangerous conviction and people who can reason for themselves.

    @Joe x: or maybe they see your kind and wonder how can a species produce such vileness and have decided to wait it out until reason wins the day…

    @William slevin: getting extremely triggered and dying on the hill of the conspiracy theorists is very sad. I guess when most conspiracy theorists are far right it might explain your actions….

    Yes, they are preparing us for emergencies. I’ll never be able to rationalise conspiracy theories.

    My comment was tongue in tongue but many a conspiracy has been proven true especially over the last 3 years….

    You do know solicitors and garda are conspiracy theorists as their job when it comes to two or more people conspiring to commit murder or fraud…so you use of the term is rediculouse…

    My comment was said tongue in cheek….but it was your kind politics that produced Hitler, stalin, Mao….so I guess theirs a bit of truth in everything

    They have a similar system in Florida, it was very helpful when we were caught up in hurricane Matthew, I was so relieved when the all clear alert pinged on the phone and the TV. I found it a good system.

    @Jacqueline McCabe: I agree.

    It would be difficult to know whether a hurricane was still ongoing without a text alert.
