Man ‘made video outlining his plans to kill NSW police’

A man allegedly posted a video of himself outlining plans to kill police and encouraging others to do the same.

Keith Knights, 37, was arrested in Brisbane on Wednesday and charged over the posts published on a bizarre Facebook page as well as his own.

The 40-minute video was preceded by a series of abusive posts about various police organisations calling on people to ‘rise up’ and ambush cops.

 

Keith Knights, 37, made a video of himself calling on Australians to ‘rise up’ and ambush police saying they had ‘every right to kill them’, even offering tips on tactics

‘For those who’ve been intimidated by these local thugs wearing police uniforms masquerading as justice officials, the are channels to free yourselves from this unlawful enslavement,’ he said in the November 29 video.

‘I encourage you to take up arms, be they pen and paper, or be they actual arms or legs… It is time to rise up and shut down these drug-dealing cops.’

Knights then began his shocking threats to police, and did not mince words in his rallying cry to his followers and anyone else watching.

‘So when they come for their cut, for their bunch of chemicals, you have every right as free citizens to ambush them and to kill them,’ he said.

‘And yes, you did hear me right, that is what I said. But don’t do it in a way that endangers you or your family.’

Knights claimed his experience as an engineer meant he could devise effective ways to ambush police and murder them.

‘There are several locations around the shire, around the Northern Rivers that would make excellent locations for an ambush. I say it is time to play these f**kers at their own game,’ he said.

‘It is time to rise up and hobble these a**eholes and take away their weapons, take away their vehicles, take away their ability to communicate. It is quite useful being an engineer, I also know a thing or two about strategy and tactics­.

‘I am at the edge… I have got nothing to lose basically.

‘I have been attacked on multiple fronts by drug-dealing police officers and justice officials from the NSW government and I am ready to mount an attack, anyone that’s with me, I would be only too happy to help you.’

The rant was also posted to Facebook page Freeman Delusion The Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument in Australia but later deleted. 

Knights appeared to be building some kind of commune in bushland near Lismore that involved digging big holes and erecting wooden structures.

He regularly posts links critical of police or news articles about police operations accompanied by angry comments.

A week and a half after the video, Knights was arrested and appeared at the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon, where he was extradited to NSW.

He was taken to Lismore Police Station where he was charged with soliciting murder (endeavour to persuade) and sending a document threatening to kill.

He was expected to appear at Lismore Local Court on Friday.
