Protesters being moved

[Lilith7]

After 23 days, they've made any point they might have had & have managed to piss off most of the country thanks to some of the idiots among them who veer towards racism, & those who give every indication of being sorely in need of mental health help.
Once they made it clear that they weren't inclined to be reasonable & bugger off, it was just a matter of time before they were cleared out.

"A white, cloudy substance has been thrown on officers. At least three have been injured.


- A number of protesters have been affected by pepper spray. There are concerns for the wellbeing of children at the protest.


Live updates:


2.37pm: Police hold the same position as they clear Aitken and Hill streets, tow trucks are continuing to protester's tow vehicles.


1.55pm: Revisiting Police Commissioner Andrew Coster's stand-up from earlier. His full statement released just before 1.30pm reveals more of the offences protesters have been arrested for.


They include wilful damage, assaults police, possession of a weapon and refusing to provide identifying details.


Coster earlier said today's operation was brought on due to "an escalation in concerning behaviour" from those still present in Wellington."

I wonder if Russell Coutts is proud to be associated with that mob?

That is an interesting point - he might not be quite so keen to identify with them now.
