It’s almost like if the police don’t throw the first punch the protesters don’t get violent. Remarkable, never saw that coming…
I'd say that despite similar organisers, you have a different demographic protesting, at least in the majority.
CFMEU trained Tradies have a habit of being violent, but even then as the real Tradies numbers diminished and the radicals increased, that's when the violence started against Police.
These ones are more ordinary people, teachers, nurses, etc, people locked out of their jobs and people who empathise with them and disagree with the mandatory vaccinations and the draft Pandemic Bill. Much less likely to be violent so Police can step back.
As I've said previously, I don't agree with protests in general, but the icing on the cake has to be the counter protesters. Calling people who don't want to undergo a medical procedure Nazis and Fascists? Really? Collective IQ of pond scum.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
