currently the australian police are only beating already defeated non violent protesters. Shooting them in the back with 'non lethal' ammunition. Beating people on the ground with the butts of their guns, or kneeing them from a run. Any of those things could already lead to deaths. The state intervened to make sure no one could livestream events, or cover them from the air, to protect their shock troopers from consequences of their actions for the state. Give them some time and no punishment and who knows where it will go, except that it will escalate.
It's not currently the same, but it has many similarities. Government out of control, state brutality against innocents. If none of the australian police are punished for their behaviour it will escalate because that is the nature of people.
There is a reason people fetishized liberty, but it seems many forgot.
