Play stupid games, get stupid prizes. That's how it works. It doesn't matter if you're a protester, officer, bystander, or those people posting squares on social media. It doesn't matter if you're in the USA, Australia, or anywhere else.

Are you aware that Australia has an Indigenous population who are darkskinned and often refer to themselves as “Blackfella” (similar to how Black Americans might use the N word) and that the Australian Aboriginal community have a history of opver policing and a number of deaths while in police custody.
the BLM in targeting Police Brutality and its affect on minority peoples is relevant to Australia movement. Although the BLM may have originated in the USA the term Black is not exclusive to the USA.
As to the video the Cops actions were excessive, especially as it appears from the initial dialogue that the Police had sworn at the youths previously and his ‘threat’ was a response to being sworn at. It was foolish bravado from a idiot teen, and didnt require the cop to slam him to mthe ground or knee him in the groin.

1a. ALso there are African and Black American immigrants who are Australian citizens. I did wonder why BLM was a thing in New Zealand until I learnt that the organisers were Citizens of African origin AND also that the protest was against Racism and Police Brutality rather than being Black v White.
and State Governments should not be limiting right to Protest even in the face of COVID - but they should be able to impose 14 day quarantines or participants
