I don’t think you understand how protest works. It’s not really protest is the police tell you when and where, it’s farce.
Comment on NSW Police considering using ‘extraordinary’ powers at Sydney pro-Palestinian rally this weekend
abhibeckert@beehaw.org 1 year agoThe reason outlined is pretty clear - the organisers of this rally are refusing to work with police to make sure the protest is run peacefully. That’s a massive red flag and suggests they want the protest to get out of hand.

Stop spreading FUD. It will only get ugly if the police decide to make it ugly. The organisers have made it clear it’s a peaceful protest. All the other protests across Australia this past week have been peaceful. The hate speech by a very small minority at the first Sydney rally was shut down by protesters and the protest organisers themselves - not by the police, the media or bandwagoning politicians.
