Protest deterrence by police made Sydney look like an act of ‘The Blues Brothers’

Sky News host James Morrow says metropolitan Sydney looked like the last act of The Blues Brothers on Saturday when police swarmed the city to prevent another lockdown protest. “There were cops everywhere, every main road heading into town there was five, six, eight, 10 police cars all checking everybody who was coming through,” he said. “It is not a good idea to protest in a pandemic, let’s make that clear. “These protests turned out to be a complete fizzer because they had this complete overkill, but I think the police here maybe have missed a point. “By showing such an incredible display over what was going to be by all indications a very small protest, this week they actually elevated the protesters’ power to much more than what it was before.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
