Will these be deployed excessively against young people and people of colour ✅️
Will these be used disproportionately against climate and genocide protesters- you betcha.
This won't make any of us safer.

Australia Institute research shows that Australia is expanding gas and coal, with 94 new fossil fuel projects in the pipeline.
We need stronger environmental laws that stop new coal and gas projects.

Pauline Hanson climbing Uluru in 2020 and getting stuck half way down
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.
