Echoing a similar incident a month ago, Victoria police have been caught on camera forcibly arresting a pregnant woman for allegedly breaching the 5km radius rule being heavy-handedly enforced throughout the Australian state.
Footage of the dramatic arrest circulated online, showing a handful of armed police officers towering over a woman – described as pregnant by local media – at the Altona beach in the Melbourne area. An officer is seen trying to put a mask on the detainee as his colleagues handcuff her and repeatedly tell other beachgoers to stand back.
People filming the incident could be heard shouting, “What did she do? Why are you arresting her?” As tensions grew, onlookers swarmed the police squad, yelling insults at officers.
Still, this public uproar didn’t stop law enforcers from walking the woman off the sand. Victoria police claimed she was found to be more than 5km away from her home, refused to provide identification to the officers, and was allegedly aggressive towards them.

The incident came on the back of warnings by Victoria state authorities that police could seal off beaches around Melbourne if residents neglect social distancing. “Victoria Police have powers. They have a steely determination to make sure people are following the rules,” State Premier Daniel Andrews warned.
These events came over a month after a Ballarat woman, also an expecting mother, was arrested and charged for “incitement” of an anti-lockdown gathering in Melbourne. The video of that incident was widely circulated on social media and triggered a massive backlash from the public.
Victoria, one of Australia’s most populous states, previously announced a roadmap for rolling back certain lockdown restrictions in Melbourne. Authorities have ended a nighttime curfew, meaning that residents can go outside at any time to shop for food and essentials, exercise outdoors, travel for permitted work or to attend classes, and to see a doctor.
People can also travel further than 5km from home for the above reasons, except for shopping and exercise. The 5km rule remains in place until at least October 19 and will be rolled back if Victoria’s 14-day average Covid-19 infection rate is less than five cases.
Andrews, however, signaled that lifting restrictions on people’s mobility is not a done deal. “There’ll be a time when that can come off, but exactly when that is, or might be extended… when that is, we can’t be certain now,” he said.
Australia has recorded just over 27,000 coronavirus cases and close to 900 fatalities. The bulk of the total infections and deaths are located in Victoria.

“She’s bleeding!! She’s bleeding!!”
And once again no one jumped in. Wonder if we’ll hear how she fared.
Frikkin’ Mao resurrected.

I didn’t want to watch this, cause I know what it would do.
But really, no sense arguing with Stasi scum, time to engage them in combat, if the people can’t get together in enough mass, ie, blk dumbfcks matter, and chase all those steroided Stasi away, then you best get to arms and dispel the tyrants and defend the women…
Oh, right, I’m sorry, my deepest apologies, this is Australia, land of the pussyfied, disarmed males, whom refuse to stand and say no and take their nation back from all the interests and foreign hordes occupying it.
Aren’t you Aussie pussies so happy you sold back (i guess the government sold you your guns) all your firearms?
Frankly you are getting exactly what you deserve………………….!
Remember and Long live the Real Crockadile Dundee….. Their national treasure they killed over the gun issue, at least he was a true man, and took a couple of their Heroes with him…. I’ll bet the two Tyrant enforcers he killed, had second thoughts about what they were doing as they started to convulse with the loss of too much blood from his bullets hitting their mark.
That, is what is coming for every last fkn one of you uniformed maggots whom are participating in this charade of tyranny from your masters on high…
Bring it, Please… or join the people and shoot these mthrfkn suits…..
