Stay classy Australia.

There really are people who think this is how our police should behave. I mean, I guarantee there is a not tiny percentage of us Australians thinking "bet the **** deserved it". We absolutely have our problems, ingrained for hundreds of years.

Man, I am angry. We're all fucking idiots.

This may have been brought up but I think it would be pretty powerful if thousands of protesters flooded the streets and quietly took a knee, for like the whole day.

What makes you think that, besides all the videos of people kneeling being gassed over the past week?

Also, if there's one thing this country has shown over the past few years, it's that we'll respond reasonably and rationally to someone silently protesting racism and police brutality by taking a knee.

Oh for sure.

A number of places have special elections today, with voting windows butting up against or actually overlapping with curfews. DC is saying only people going to vote have the right to be out after 7:00.

So...incoming footage of cops attacking voters in 3...2...

ugh
