In September 18th a massive clash between police and anti-lockdown protestors took place in Melbourne Australia.
In total 235 people were arrested in Melbourne as a result of the clash, and 32 were arrested in Sydney.
Reuters reported, Victoria police said six officers required hospitalisation. Several officers were knocked to the ground and trampled, the police said and television footage showed.
About 700 people managed to gather in parts of Melbourne, as 2,000 officers made the city centre virtually a no-go zone, setting up checkpoints and barricades. Public transport and ride shares into the city were suspended.
In Sydney riot squads were deployed to use force against those who chose to gather in large numbers.
Sydney had originally locked down as a result of 9 people dying from COVID-19. One death is a tragedy, but in relation to population size (5,300,000) Sydney’s new “outbreak” was not one to be alarmed about and effected less than 0.01% of their population.
The government will continue to restrict the free will of their people until at least 70% of the citizenry has been fully vaccinated. A number that the United States has not even managed to reach yet, and a quite unreasonable goal when bartering with freedom.
“It was extremely disappointing to see another example of a small minority of the community showing a complete disregard for the health and safety of not only police, but each and every other Victorian,” Victorian police said in reference to the clash.
These people are fed up with government tyranny, and tired of having their human rights violated. Without unreasonable lockdowns and far out goals, the clashes would not have happened.
