Yeah no it wasn't any pizzagate stuff, the NSW police commissioner came out with this gem Parents should be happy they unlawfully strip search their kids & Searching kids as young as 11
That's what I've heard, because none of the big streamers are streaming it a lot of people aren't turning up and because of all the arrests made yesterday.
If this had been a black guy in the US, there'd be a flash mob around those cops in no time. It's too bad most people have the impulse control to not do that, even when they're seeing naked totalitarian power in their face. If more people in Australia decided to become ungovernable, this would be over.
Yeah, good luck at that.Cameraman who got peppersprayed right in the face has sparked legal action -- paper's filing a formal complaint against the cops. Will it go anywhere?
I can't believe Melbourne of all places is kicking this off. Sending MelBros all my good vibesSupposedly the cops are using IMSI catchers and jammers right now, and Facebook's kicking some streamers who have been covering things. Also looks like they're snatching people around town -- wonder if they're guys they ID'ed via cellphone from earlier gatherings.

Oh boy that was a stupid move the only reason everyone loves the police is because the media have been pushing there narrative. I can't wait to see the backlash from this
To answer the original question it's pretty unusual in that while Australian police are utter cunts, they're usually pro-active in their heavyhandedness: they'll do stuff like drum up false flag events as an excuse for massive demonstrations of presence, and have extensive social media propaganda and the media on their side so Australians tend to be compliant if not brainwashed. I shat on this earlier in the thread but really, these protests are warming my heart.
Yeah they forced through some law that strips you of digital privacy if they claim to have suspicion that you're connected to some criminal activity of more than one person which is so broadly phrased they can probably invoke it for anything. There might have been more to it but that's the part I recall. I could be garbling it but I have no energy to look it up.
Reminds me, a couple years ago I was in Melbourne just walking past a little climate protest in a park (three times as many cops as protestors, and a van) innocently on my way to a degenerate sex party and my phone started acting weird and crashed into an almost brick-like state until I was a couple blocks away.
While this video is fucked up, it happened in Sydney in May of 2020:
You know it's a real protest movement when you're routinely censored by Big Tech companies for covering it and the media scarcely acknowledges it outside of calling it "a minority of far-right white supremacists" and shit. It reminds me of the Yellow Vests movement in that sense, another actual protest movement that received minimal coverage or attention.Supposedly the cops are using IMSI catchers and jammers right now, and Facebook's kicking some streamers who have been covering things.

Protester hospitalised with COVID as Victoria records highest ever daily COVID case increase
A man who attended yesterdays protests has tested positive to COVID, the ABC understands, as Victoria records its highest single-day tally of the outbreak so far.www.abc.net.au

It's just not at that point yet. These are protests with specific points of focus, not riots.
Because these aren't antifa-trained "protestors" that appeared during the BLM riots but regular people who have been locked up in their houses and then sacked for not getting an experimental jab.
I was expecting it to go Occupy and suddenly the crowd if full of concerned zoomers who are fighting racism or climate change. But now they're going full Tiananmen there's no chance of a subversion. Only violence.
Is there an upper limit to arresting people for rioting? Since these aren't Antifa in Portland, I'd expect they'd be actually kept in jail and not released the next day, so won't they eventually fill up the jails to capacity which is prolly a no no during covid times since the feds down under care so much about covid.
