Please find another time for Protest

If you're fighting to protect people's lives, why not start by not risking the innocent lives of everyone elses. Find another time. I will have more respect for you. I was just saying the other day: Thank God that Australians aren't as crazy as Americans and we have at least some common sense not to choose this time to protest.

I have African ancestry going way back. I've been playing a bit of tennis so skin has tanned up a little.

Chuckles, don't we all?!

Anyway, It seems it took a few burning cities to get those cops charged (unreal)

The pandemic is all forgotten, Apart from the casualties due to the protests - there will be a lot more I reckon.

I think it is ironic that an incident 15,000 km away has inspired many Australians to address the treatment and rights of indigenous people in our country. We are only about a century too late. Personally, I very much support the right to protest if it is done peacefully and without disruption. I notice one organiser of the planned protests is WAR (Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance). I do hope people who are planning to protest understand all of the agendas, what they are supporting and the doors they could be opening.

But a very current concern is Covid-19. I would not, at this time, risk contracting the virus and possibly infecting my family. There are other ways to communicate concerns and objections until it is safe to gather and protest. Some pretty ugly things are happening around the world and emotions are running high. Perhaps some people need to take a deep breath and consider what the sensible thing to do is right now.

that comment is way off-colour.

The ppl protesting here are breaking Covid-19 restriction laws.

Remember the restriction laws you called the cops about when your holiday-making neighbours came to stay awhile?

Why does that matter? I think protesters are bunch of **bleep**ers, with no respect for other peoples' health or safety

Perhaps they all need to visit you in your town and hold a protest march? You whinged enough when a cpl of people stayed in their own holiday house

Funny how our prime minister, who when we all wisely thought we'd be better off isolating, was telling us to go to the bloody footy and to church. Remember? Now he's finally caught up, or maybe he just thinks that death in custody is nowhere near as important as football?

Of course, he has a point, demonstrating now is likely to cost more lives. Just as the aboriginal community was congratulating itself for keeping their communities safe....

But really...the PM has no say in this.

He's left it up to the state premiers...

though I'm worried about the covid 19 exposure.. the marches look to be overall quite peaceful ,most seemed to be wearing masks.. I hope that is enough, social distancing in huge crowds like that would be near impossible

speaking of states, I noticed the Sydney ban was overtuned early this afternoon

Wearing those surgical mask does nothing to prevent the virus. It shows you the organiser's ignorance about basic medical science.

Excuse my ignorance, why are they presenting George Floyd as some sort of a hero. I get the policeman was corrupt and deserving of punishment and floyd didn't deserve to die. Couldn't the protestors have chosen someone more deserving?
