Anti-lockdown protesters clashed violently with police as thousands of unmasked people marched through the streets of Melbourne on Saturday.
Victoria police said they had made 218 arrests and that six officers were hospitalised during a series of altercations. Police said in a statement the majority of the estimated 4,000 demonstrators “came with violence in mind”.
“The behaviour seen by police was so hostile and aggressive that they were left with no choice but to use all tactics available to them,” the statement said.
Footage posted on social media showed protesters cheering, throwing objects at police officers and letting off flares as well as police pepper-spraying protesters.
The Melbourne protests took place after Victoria’s premier, Daniel Andrews, announced a lockdown in place across Melbourne would be extended across the entire state. The state recorded 77 new cases of coronavirus on Saturday.
More than 700 extra Victorian police officers were deployed to contain the lockdown protest.

Police said they had, for the first time during a lockdown protest, used non-lethal tactics that included rounds of pepper spray projectiles and canisters.
Two police officers suffered broken noses. One officer was hospitalised with a broken thumb and others suffered concussion.
Each of the 218 protesters arrested would be fined $5,452 for breaching public health orders. Police also issued an additional 236 fines and said three people were expected to face charges for assaulting police.
“Further investigations will be conducted into offences committed during the protest including the assault of numerous police officers and the use of flares.”
Social media videos showed hundreds were in attendance with some letting off flares.
People of all ages were seen walking through the streets, shouting for “freedom” while police condemned the marchers as selfish.
Public gatherings were not allowed in Victoria as the state tried to contain a surge in coronavirus cases.
Police on horseback lined up to block the march, which appeared to start in Russell Street and join other groups.

Finally, the Aussies fight back.
But they must not let up now.
Take the fight to the cops homes.
And the media’s.
And the politicians’
Smash their windows, burn their cars, shun their families.
As if the NWO attack dogs in full armour don’t “come with violence in mind”
Note….Andrew’s is a crypto jew like his counterpart in NSW.
Are Australians going to experience what Eastern Europeans and the Palestinians have ALREADY EXPERIENCED…
The disastrous brutal rule of the Jews in full vengeance mode….
Alexander Solzhenitzen (probable incorrect spelling) could have filled in the spaces if he was still around.(His book “Two Hundred Years Together” is under a banning order by major publishers in the West….because all are owned by Jews)
As long as Andrew’s and other jews are identified AS JEWS….then the “invisibility trick” will not be easily used…..THE FIENDS WILL BE BLAMED FOR THEIR CRIMES…..AS THEY SHOULD BE.
Call out the media jews….the purveyors of lies.
It shows just how duplicitous western establishments have become when people marching peacefully for freedom are said to be threatening violence while people trying to kill you are offering healthcare.
Good for them. Let’s hope they get some of these bastards that they pay for and who are supposed to protect them. But it’ll never work. It never does. Every one of the protesters will be identified using the oh-so-clever facial recognition software and their lives destroyed while everyone else sits back and lets it happen, just like in america, just like with assange in britain, and just like all the others who ever tried to stand up against the dirt and filth that own everything and the overwhelming majority who will never do anything from one end of their lives to the other.
I do not see the Scum succeeding–when you see them for what they are they try to kill you.
Where are your guns Aussies when you need them? Oh that’s right, you handed them over to the Semitic Soviet State…
Jack Witchity is correct in his comment at the top. Since the cops in Australia have gone full-on totalitarian and have so clearly turned against the citizenry, then they are fair game for retribution. Time to bring the fight to the psychopaths in the ruling class and the pathological liars in the media.
@ Umbra lets wait the truckers shut down maybe all it will take, everyone in Australia should be emailing / writing to their mp,s reminding them who they work for and very subtly remind them of nuremberg
and the penalty for treason, just “following” orders did,nt save the good Germans it certainly won,t save
them, also point out the “covid” scam/fraud has been exposed and if they don,t cancel all covid edicts
the charges of genocide, crimes against humanity will be added to the list, finally let them know that
this situation can still be resolved peacefully if………..
Until the people get really serious, the repression will only increase. This is the tipping point. The future is on a knife edge.
The police should be shown no mercy and the war carried into their own homes. If the government uses the army against the people, then it’s all-out civil war.
The ACTUAL demonstration and the ‘rubber bullets false flag’ were two different events that converged at the finish.
Police and crisis actors ‘clashed’ and were shown on the MSM, depicting protesters as violent. This was not the case. The footage shown, was out of line of sight to most of the peaceful participants.
