The Melbourne Street Medics, who self-fund all their own medical first aid supplies, were soon very low indeed dealing with the police pepper spraying victims. Extra supplies needed to be bought immediately. All in all roughly 100 people were treated on Saturday. I am asking you to donate. This would help the Street Medics not only resupply kits and offset costs for equipping new medics, but also assist them to afford training spaces to up-skill new and current medics.

The capitalist media reports and emphasises or spins things that reinforce a capitalist world view. To seriously report, let alone investigate, police violence against medics, or domestic violence, might undermine two key pillars of capitalist society – the police and the family.
