People being arrested violently by the cops were people who'd been violent to the cops.
Said people totally in breach of the health orders, mask laws, and thinking they could march thru the streets maskless with Covid Delta rife in the community, kicking cars, holding cities to ransom traffic wise...and creating super spreader events by their close proximity to other maskless protesters.
Took the cops in Melb 4 days to stop the rioters...who returned every morning for more.
Cops really got after them with rubber bullets etc on day 4.
No more rioting.
You ask people nicely to go home that their protest is illegal...they take no notice.
You ask them again...same result.
Can't be having cities being held to ransom by violent protesters.

You get arrested...he gave up, no struggle.
