You don’t think you’ll get shot if you ran past the numerous QLD Police officers at the airport without answering their stupid questions?

Why do they have their weapons attached if they’re not prepared to use them. They are not required to have weapons attached at all times however they all have them on at the airport…
They have weapons to deal with threats such as armed offenders and terrorists etc etc... If you run past a police officer or border control agent at a checkpoint illegally you will become a criminal and they have the right to arrest you. No police officer in Australia can shoot you on sight without a valid safety reason to do so. The freedom protests were a good example where police are charged and beaten yet not shooting at random protesters who are disobeying the law.

Again comparing Australia with truly evil past iterations of government and control is just stupid and shows complete lack of empathy for the survivors of those events and lack of education.

The pictures of the people jumping over roadworks barriers is not akin to the Berlin wall, it's akin to jumping the median strip on a busy freeway. The danger is not getting shot by police it's spreading covid and getting hit by a car. The pictures just mean police have footage of you and can charge you at any time they wish from video evidence, they don't need to shoot you. If they can be bothered you will get a fine or summons for court in the mail in the next 12 months.

PS if you have a passport or drivers licence the facial recognition software will give the police your name and address in about 10 seconds, it's then just a matter of whether they think it's worth their time to charge/fine you.
