Australia Goes Full Communist: Cops Break Down Door To Arrest ANTI-Lockdown Citizen

Dramatic video has emerged of police breaking down the door of what police call a 'conspiracist; accused of inciting an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne.

The man, who identifies himself on Facebook as James Bartolo and the leader of a 'conspiracy' group the Conscious Truth Network, live-streamed his arrest on Friday morning after police arrived at his front door with a search warrant.

He is the latest person to be arrested for allegedly inciting an illegal protest against Melbourne's tough stage four lockdown that is planned to take place at the Shrine of Remembrance on Saturday.

In the video, Mr Bartolo, who claims he was on the toilet when officers arrived, argues with police from his upstairs balcony.

He refuses to open the door and insists the police do not have "authorisation to be on the property", repeatedly asking: "What have I done?"

"Can you just explain and I will open the door," Mr Bartolo says. "What are you suspecting me of doing?"

A police officer tells him they have evidence he was "speaking to his colleagues online" about Saturday's scheduled "Freedom Day" protest.

"I am not playing a game," a police officer tells Mr Bartolo.

"Come down ... I've given you all the opportunity in the world."

The stand-off ends when police use a battering ram to break down Mr Bartolo's front door.

In the video, Mr Bartolo can be seen running down the stairs before officers tackle him to the ground and arrest him on the floor of his living room.
