Arrest Video

[edit]

For years now, folks have shared a viral internet video which purportedly depicts the arrest of a man in Sydney. The man in question is said to be Paul Charles Dozsa, a Hungarian-born Australian chess master who gained fame as a “restaurant runner” back in the ’80s. The video actually seems to be a re-enactment, and the person in it is suggested to be John Bartlett. Is this true ?

It is worth noting that the actual Wikipedia article on this video titled "Democracy Manifest" notes that both Paul Charles Dozsa and John Bartlett were rumoured to be the person in question but never confirmed. Seemingly it was a man named Cecil George Edwards. I'm not hugely interested in checking the sources on this because its honestly not worth the effort for what is essentially a meme of a good orator getting arrested, but I do believe that its more or less accepted that the man in the video wasn't Bartlett and its only worth mentioning as pure trivia (if Wikipedia still allows that) on his actual page.
