ABOUT 150 people, some of them teenagers, have yelled abuse at police outside NSW parliament in protest at the shooting of two youths at Kings Cross.
Aboriginal elders urged calm, as a crowd of about 150 people began chanting "F*** the police” at the protest.
The crowd, many of them children, held the protest outside NSW Parliament this afternoon, and accused police of "trying to kill black kids".
Some of the teenagers were seen drinking alcohol, and the crowd has blocked off one lane of Macquarie Street.
Police shot at a car driven by juveniles at 4am on Saturday, after they mounted a kerb in Kings Cross and ran down a pedestrian.
The driver of the car was allegedly Troy Taylor, 17, and video footage released after the incident shows he was punched by NSW Police after being pulled out of the stolen car.
Troy is currently in a coma.
His friends Tore and Jordan were at the protest.
"One of our boys got shot by police, bashed, assaulted, and dragged across the ground for nothing. He surrendered to police and he still got attacked," Tore said.
"It makes me cry, it makes me disgusted ... if we lost one of the boys it would have started trouble with police."
Greens MP David Shoebridge told protestors that violent language wasn't going to get results, and urged the NSW government to hold an independent investigation into the matter.
Anthony Mundine was at the protest.
Meanwhile, it was revealed the teenage Aboriginal boy in a coma after being shot by officers has been in trouble with police since he was eight.
