Thankfully I'm on the way home right now. The authorities are managing the situation and working hard to avoid any form of escalation, better to leave it to them IMHO.
I'm sure they have it under control somewhat but Unfortunately the clips on the TV keep showing footage of one police officer waving a pistol hiding behind his ballistic shield pushing another police officer potentially out into the line of fire while near tripping over his own feet. Basically looks like its his first day on the job lol. The media could at least show more footage that's somewhat more professional and not make the Australian police look like amateurs to the rest of the world.

Fingers x it is dealt with swiftly with no casualties bar the perps
