This article is from 2016. If people are rioting and carrying on like animals with what we see down in Melbourne the fair enough. But This was written four years ago and we have not see this stuff deployed in the streets yet that I know of.
The ABC is very left wing and prone to shit stirring so do not expect them to be truthful when reporting this sort of stuff. Hell if you are rioting then you bloody deserve this.
Take at a look at the protester tooled up in modern riots such as over in France, the USA or the extinction rebellion protesters. Some individuals in the crowds are geared up with weapons so don't be so naïve as to think the protesters are all innocent.
Universities are also notorious for communist indoctrination and the students are bloody rabid in their thinking and actions. I would not ever entertain the thought of these idiots being peaceful protesters, if they don't get what they want they will create hell until they get what they want. and video evidence is all over the Internet to back up what I am saying.
Rent s thug are notoriously employed to cause maximum harm at protests also ( by so called controlled opposition). So the police have to do what they think is best. What about innocent peoples cars and property being burned to the ground and windows smashed by "protesters". You will find plenty footage on the Internet showing thugs on a destructive rampage and the media never tell the truth, they spin things to whip the masses into a frenzy. Eventually the truth comes out though.
If you act like an animal then expect to be treated like one. Protest should never involve violence or physical harm in any way.
