This is footage taken at around 5am in the morning. This is the view i saw. Some of it is a bit shaky as i was trying to move out of the way and film and collect items so that the police didn't destroy them.

You can read my full blog here http://www.freeuganda.au.com select NEWS. This will give an in depth account as to what happened. I have not edited this footage and i in no way apologize for my profanity. I was going through a range of emotions that i've never had to feel before as i have never at any protest in Sydney come across heavy handed tactics such as these. A Pre Dawn raid on peaceful sleeping protesters is a very low act Mr Murdoch. i called the police dogs because that is what i saw, anamalistic packs jumping on unarmed civilians not even 10 mins after being woken up.

We are public citizens in public space holding general assembly and open discussion avail to ALL citizens. i was sleeping under the Sydney city council Homeless Protocol which allows homeless to sleep on Sydney streets. Trains had shut down during the night and i was stuck with no way to get back to my local area.(1hr away by train) I'm not a person who is in the city much at all in particular at night so i had no idea trains were stopped and there for i was stuck and homeless for the night.

I was not there all week i only arrived late Saturday afternoon after seeing footage on the internet about the days activities and wanted to check it out and had one of the most wonderful evenings of my life. Until this started.

Babe you did great keeping composure, under the circumstances the WHOLE lot of us handled ourselves awesome! we resisted, we were peaceful, we took the violence and showed we will still not stop, they can beat us, drag us, punch us and mock us, but eventually, they will join us. We are 99%

Back at you Sista! :-)

@memorableprintsonlin haha, me to... i felt such an amazing energy when it was just us, I wish the world can be like that forever,lol... Offcourse, that is before the creeps attacked.

Let's hope this next one lasts longer... I think if we have some back up plans for re-occupation in the case that something goes wrong that would be the best bet... :0)
