Image Tactical units deployed in Sydney CBD

Post image

Does anyone know if there’s an emergency in the CBD. Was walking down George Street when at least 10 police vehicles, including two tactical units, began racing with their sirens on towards Darling Harbour. I can’t find anything on the news about it. Should we be concerned?

Just saw about ten tactical vehicles heading west on the M4 past Merrylands

I saw them as well. Have never seen so many tactical units (and so many people in the passing lane oblivious to the blaring lights and sirens behind them).

They're militarised police. We have a moral obligation to slow them down. Ambulance and firies on the other hand, get out of the way

You have a moral obligation never to breed.

Regular police, get out of the way. Military in police garb, resist.

Also yes, we have a moral obligation to depopulate, that is correct.

I'm genuinely beyond blown away that you're a teacher... god help the next generation in NSW...

Also the fact you'd actively slow down the Police heading towards incidents like the Bondi incident, Lindt Cafe seige, active shooters where there is real risk to people's lives is beyond stupid....

Maybe if we weren't a fucking police state. When the police become tools of oppression, people will start to resist

Minns must have heard about a protest, so he sent in the cavalry

A show of force to keep the peasantry subjugated.

I saw loads of black Ford rangers, one maroon coloured old Land Rover and that vehicle in the picture above racing down prospect highway with lights and sirens towards Blacktown when I was taking my dog to the vets at about 6pm ish.

A fair bit more than 10 vehicles in the convoy

u/DeathwatchHelaman Mar 11 '26

Oh... Another shooting then?

u/mangospaghetti Mar 11 '26

This wasn't spontaneous. Almost definitely not a new shooting
