Seems that in Melbourne, the police have decided that the protesters need to be taught a lesson, so they are using “Rubber Bullets”, Pepper balls , and other forms of crowd control.

They get away with that simply because the folks in Australia allowed themselves to be disarmed (and cause the crowd probably doesn’t wanna hurt the cops).

I’d bet good money that the cops here would not try that sort of violence in the US. I think they know how things would end…and not well for them.
