Hey, fellow Melbournian here! For what it's worth I think the police force here is generally really good and does a great job overall.

A few questions if you may.

What was the morale like at the police force after that big protest with Reclaim Australia versus the various Anti-Racist groups like? I heard it got really out of hand and pepper spray had to be used.

I've caught the bus home once when I was completely shitfaced after a long night of indulging in Australian culture, I smiled and waved to a group of police officers on the way to my stop around 10:30PM. What goes through your head if you see a friendly drunk?

Just out of curiosity, since I go to RMIT University I've always wondered. How much trouble does various student bodies e.g. Socialist Alternatives generally cause the police department in terms of positioning officers, making sure they don't get too rowdy etc.?

Last question, what's your most amusing police story if any?

Hey man! RMIT represent!

Yeah, I hate passing judgement and I do believe they have the best of intentions. But I feel like a lot of them are rich middle-class bourgeoisie white kids who suffer from "grass is greener on the other side" syndrome who never had family or family friends that lived in Maoist China. That and they're so annoying to deal with, luckily I just walk by and pretend I don't speak English or just give them the good ol' greasy.
