In the pouring rain, about 150 people have so far squashed onto the pavement in Macquarie Street and spilled on to the road, including young Aboriginal people.

Ray Jackson, who organised the rally, has begun addressing the crowd, describing "idiot police" who shot into the stolen car carrying six youngsters in Kings Cross on Saturday morning.

Two teens, aged 14 and 17, were hit after the car was driven onto the footpath.

They remain in hospital.

Mr Jackson, from the Indigenous Social Justice Association, said there were questions around whether police should carry weapons at all.

There were also calls from rally attendees for the officer depicted in mobile phone footage hitting one of the suspects in the head to be charged.

The Greens are calling for independent investigations into police conduct in these kinds of circumstances.

Boxer Anthony Mundine was among the crowd and said he came to lend his support to the cause.

"There's no room for any debate," he told the Herald.

"They were pretty much unarmed, cornered, trapped ... and they [the police] opened fire at point blank range - to kill."

Mr Mundine said the issues were not about race, but the families of the teens injured wanted answers.

Police officers were keeping a low profile at the rally and maintaining distance from the crowd.
