Did NSW Police use excess force in Herzog protests?

Police clashed with demonstrators in Sydney’s CBD on Monday evening. Protesters had turned out to demonstrate against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s Australian visit. Videos shared on social media show NSW police pepper-spraying, arresting, and beating protesters. Organisers had hoped to march through the city, but a decision in the NSW Supreme Court upheld additional powers granted to police to restrict protests. In today’s deep dive we’ll explain what happened, who Isaac Herzog is, why his visit has divided politicians and community groups, and what to expect over the coming days.
