Anti-mandate protesters in Melbourne, Australia have clashed with police who blocked the route of their protest march. Warning, videos contain violence and strong language.
This is a seminal moment. The police hold power through illusion, they are only bestowed moral authority. Once it’s gone it’s gone – and it has gone, openly now. The issue now for Australian coppers is where do they go from here? #Australia #Melbourne pic.twitter.com/qNXXrXiwrj

This is the same engagement, shot from the other side. Politicians forget we only agree to be policed by consent. There are some mining-strike communities in the UK where the police are still loathed forty years on. Scale up that hatred across cities.🤦🏼♂️pic.twitter.com/eftXUWkqRy
