The Occupy Melbourne protest turned violent this morning when police descended on demonstrators shouting chants such as “the whole world is watching”. This video, filmed on a demonstrator’s iPhone, is best watched full screen.

Well maybe, but does the whole world know what it is watching?
Can’t really see the protest turning ‘violent’…more like a few minor interactions while police took people away…perhaps the use of the term violent is a bit overdone..unless I’m missing something.
“Whats the charge?” Now there’s a good question.
Is this the most pointless protest there’s ever been..
How out of practice are we with these demo things ? More fake blood, organisers !
