The overarching message NSW Governments of Labor and Liberal persuasion have delivered via Racist Police over many years is "the whiter you are, the righter you are". The message is ritually reinforced almost nightly with officers unconstrained by the parameters of legality nightly applying psychological terrorism as a weapon against youth particularly of Asian Polynesian Arabic appearance -or those who might come from modest economic backgrounds as defined by their appearance.

The following is a Rally call from Indigenous Social Justice Action republished in full: (we suggest copying printing & circulating the following as an A5 flyer.)
.........................................................................................................
Stop Police Brutality
Stop Police Investigating Police
Ban The Tasers
We Demand:
- NSW Police be made answerable to the people by setting up Police Citizens Review Boards similar to those of the USA and some european countries. The members of those Boards to be voted on by the people of NSW.
- For an independent Investigative Unit to be formed by properly qualified professionals who have no connection to any police member past or present.
- Remove the Tasers from all Frontline Police.Full and open Public Inquiry to be held into their use and who should use them.
- Review of the use of Glock handguns, requirements for in depth training, including psychiatric assessment of all officers, and finally who should be issued with such a deadly weapon.
- We demand the full facts related to the Kings Cross shooting not just the government / police media "Facts".
We will be holding another Rally on Saturday 12 May at 2.30pm outside Kings vross Police Station. JOIN US and support this campaign.
