Hey @Falstaff, no, it’s not the Police that are scared, it’s our left leaning state Government! The Victorian Police Force has become the Governments enforcers under what is effectively martial law here in Victoria.
The rank and file Copper is horrified at being forced to fight everyday Aussies, arresting people for walking in parks, being used as a border force and crowd control… They are leaving the force in their hundreds…
As has been demonstrated globally, the left’s way of dealing with opposition to it’s agendas or dissent is to censor or quash the perpetrators… Same here in Australia.
The Victorian Labor Government has been in power here for 11 years. Plenty of time to ensure it’s tentacles reach out and cover every public entity in the state. The Police force and even more sinister the regulation and legal apparatus in Victoria is lead by lefty labor staffers, sympathetic to any demands placed on them by our current Government.
We used to believe in a separation of powers here in Australia, meaning that State Police forces should act independently of the installed Government… That unfortunately is no longer the case… The Police have become under the health induced emergency powers the strong arm of the State Government.
Protesting has never been illegal in Australia… Now it is, under public health orders…
BLM marched last year and the Police walked alongside… No arrests, Teargas, Rubber Bullets… Zip.
This year the protesters, who are against vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Have been trying to march peacefully through Melbourne’s CBD by moving away from Police confrontations and are being deliberately cornered by Police and Teargassed, Shot with Rubber Bullets and arrested in huge numbers… Only violence is between Police and protestors attempting to evade arrest… For walking in the CBD!
People OS have to understand these protests aren’t like what happened in the US… No looting, no burning, no crime other than to be involved in a protest against the Government… I was in the CBD during a protest earlier in 2021 (before the chaos)… Nothing to fear, just give them a thumbs up and stand back and watch.
The latest chaotic protest was just over the vaccine mandate for the construction sector workers…
Today they have just mandated vaccination for all essential services here in Victoria… Police, Firefighters, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Heath Care, Retail, Distribution, Transport staff… Hundreds of thousands that were pro choice (not antivaxxers)… This is huge…
It has come to a head… Watch coverage of Australian News… Shytes really going into the blades…

Melbourne has been in the worlds top 10 most livable cities for the last decade… WTF went wrong…?
CBD is a ghost town… Now you can understand why I’m calling it a Failed State… A Police State.
