FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Victorian police are confident the violent weekend protests in Sydney won’t be repeated in Melbourne but have increased security at key locations.
Regional operations deputy commissioner Tim Cartwright said he was quite confident the violent protests in Sydney over a video mocking Islam would not be repeated in Melbourne.
Police are monitoring social media and speaking with community members in a bid to pre-empt the risk of any violence.
“Areas that are of particular risk, the American consulate for example, will be seeing an increase in police presence,” Mr Cartwright told reporters in Melbourne on Monday.
He said the strong relationship between Victoria Police and the Islamic community gave him confidence police would be forewarned of any potential protests.
“Once we saw what was happening in Sydney we were in contact with our own local community leaders, we’ve made our own inquiries and we’re quite confident that what we’ve seen there won’t occur in Victoria,” he said.
Mr Cartwright said police would be prepared for any sort of violent action.
“We’ve demonstrated recently we can get numbers to the ball quite quickly,” he said.
Six people were charged and 17 people injured following Saturday’s clashes with police during protests targeting the US consulate in Sydney’s Martin Place over an anti-Islamic internet video.
Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark said he was pleased Islamic groups in the state had condemned the violence.
“We are very fortunate that here in Victoria we live in a generally open and tolerant and multicultural society,” Mr Clark told reporters on Monday.
“We would very much hope that what has been seen in Sydney would not be repeated here in Victoria.”
