The P.C. nonsense always makes our brave law enforcement personnel pay, doesn't it? I hope you can tell that American FReepers are all sad about the injuries to your Aussie policemen.
Later reports today (early afternoon here in Sydney) have the number of policemen injured at fifty (some of them apparently pretty badly, too). The footage that's been shown on TV is just shocking. The friend I'm staying with used to live in a directly adjoining suburb to this one, and told me this morning she was glad she no longer did.
Further threats of violence towards the police have been made, and I fear this could be just the start.
This sort of thing just never happened in Australia when I was growing up, but the indigineous malcontents are stirring up hatred amongst their young, and a line is being drawn in the sand. Where is it going to end?
I think what I find most appalling is the sheer youth of some of the rioters. Some of those kids looked barely ten years old... it reminded me eerily of footage of Palestinian boys throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers.

What were Australians thinking when they decided to disarm the populace? It must be a continual frustration to your fellow patriots. Is any sort of popular initiative working to reverse the situation?
As we often say here, stay safe.
