Post-truth mhaze,

They were bean bag rounds used at a small core of protestors who were assaulting police.

They were only deployed when police started getting injured from missiles being directed at them.

"Two police officers received head injuries after being hit in the head, while a third was hospitalised with chest pain."

The protests tied up hundreds of police who would otherwise be deployed keeping the community safe. At some stage it needed to end.

Victorians recognise Andrews managed a difficult time showing leadership and resolve. That is why he was returned with a record majority.

Get over it.

Hi Paul,

Talking about kudos?

In a certain Lithuanian dialect - they have a word very
similar to kudos. It's spelt - Kudas. It means
under-nourished of lean. (no meat). Which might
be appropriate in this case here.

Of course there's also another word - sudas.
Meaning - excrement. (smile).

Still trying to justify police shooting on those who failed to agree with Dan, I see.

Students of history will understand how these incidents become, in hindsight, turning points in the history of nations. They will also understand that those who support their side rather than the national good, enable the slow decline of a people's freedoms.

Paul, my 'kudos' was ironic. I probably shouldn't do irony around someone who thinks primary school humour is the height of intelligence.

mhaze,

Still defending Trump?

"Still defending Trump?"

From what?

For violating the law.
