The other question we should ask is did he have a mask with him to use when he wasn't "drinking his coffee"?
If not, did he refuse to accept a 'free mask' from the police which they usually offer to hand out (perhaps he also had an abusive and/or sarcastic attitude which wouldn't have gone down too well with all the BS the police have had to deal with since the start of the pandemic)?
As I've said, pity we can't see what happened in the minute or two before the start of the video.
The coppers werent agitated, they didnt look like they were prepared for trouble so its obvious the victim was not aggressive or abusive beforehand.
Anyone can create their own mask by pulling their shirt or jumper over their face to satisfy regulations. This was all about those officers egos, not masks.
That's not acceptable according to most state Covid regs.
I was wondering if other states had that situation, about types of masks… because I know in Vic… there were these scarf like masks … and creative too, and less painful and more eco friendly than the nappy looking masks with ear elastics.
You could wear these scarf masks around your neck and pull up… well made and were fantastic… then it was said we couldn’t have them …. and many of us already bought them. At least we can wash n wear without having to dispose of.
With these throw away, cheapie nappy face masks with elastic bands… it’s a disgrace!
First… many are ending up in our waterways and the elastics are creating a chokehold on sea life. It’s been recommended that the elastics are cut so as no loop can cause harm… but how many get that message? How many have done that? Cut the elastic loops before disposal?
Second…I see these disposable cheapie nappy face masks littered everywhere.
I took a photo of one that upset me… outside the hospital … in the car park, between the emergency and imaging place.
This mask was placed spread out with elastics over branches of a small bush plant.
These shytty masks are not easily degradable and will cause more harm than good for our wildlife, sealife, birds etc.
I say these need to be banned and pull up, reusable scarf/masks re-introduced again as acceptable/preferred!!
