What's the deal with Melbourne cops? I'm asking from the west and from the reporting I glimpse, it seems they protect Nazis and go into flashbang mode if you are not into Nazis.

The profession always attracts authoritarians, so it's something you'll see everywhere.

Yeah, true. I don't know why I thought it could be any other way.

Love how the cowards scurried off when they heard they were reporters.

On Sunday, the police found a single knuckle duster through the warrantless searches. They did not clarify how many searches they did to find it.

This author is a funny one :D
