Just came back from Flemington flats, and heavily militarised police are around the whole building and harassing residents including auntys and elderly folk

We’ve been in communication with some residents inside the building and as we got there to drop off specific supplies that were asked for by the residents inside the building a couple of things happened

1) the residents were told they not only couldn’t communicate with us but had to wait till we were off premises before they could even go inside the space where we’d dropped the supplies off. (Including medicine for folk, insulin etc)

They proceeded to tell us what they were going to do with what we SPECIFICALLY bought for people we’d been aliasing with. Saying they would confiscate the supplies until government officials could distribute them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unerfreutes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Unerfreutes Gesicht"> same government that’s failing them

After some arguing they decided to ask us not taking the word of THE RESIDENT WHO’D TOLD THEM this was addressed to asking us if this was true (see video below) which clearly it was and we emphasised it was not DHS it was residents organising with us

Anyway once we left we got a call from the resident who was taking the supplies in getting harassed by the cops confiscating all the things we’d bought, and until they saw him recording them they were adamant

On brutalising him, and we had to yell that we were on live for them to stop. So yeah ACAB
