Only in America?

Got a few pictures for ya…

Righto, looking at this id swear they where taken in America somewhere. Like LA or somthing, but guess what? They where taken right here in Australia, Redfern in Sydney to be exact.

A young aboriginal boy died after falling off his bike and being impailed on a fence. The riot was caused due to rumours that police had actually chased the boy and pretty much caused him to fall off and get hurt.
The police deny chasing him, but were there when it happened to get the boy off the fence and help to try to revive him.

Now im not sure exactly what happened or why, but i find it hard to believe that starting a riot is the answer. Apparently around 3 million dollars in damages was caused to the Redfern train station, and around 44 police where seriously injured after getting pelted with stones and fire bombs and fireworks.

I think this is nuts. Who do they think they are that they can just go out and cause this much damage. Im not saying that the police didnt chase the boy, maybe they did, who knows, but doing stupid stuff like that is just crazy and does nothing.

bleh… it annoys me.

anyway, theres lots of info on the web at the Sydney Morning Herald website.
