A bottle was hurled at police sparking a tense standoff as hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters refused to leave Sydney's Hyde Park on Sunday. Police issued 'a COVID direction to disperse' at Hyde Park but protesters ignored them. A 16-year-old youth in a red T-shirt was removed from Hyde Park after he allegedly hurled an empty soft-drink bottle at police. Protesters wave an Aboriginal flag at the peaceful gathering in the Domain while wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts. The protesters want to shut youth prisons and implement the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
