Australian Stormtroopers Show Up In HUGE Numbers To Drag Dozens Away To Jail For Daring To Protest Fascism

Victorian police have arrested dozens of anti-coronavirus lockdown protesters in Melbourne after they gathered for a second day.

About 250 protesters chanting "Freedom" massed on Sunday at Queen Victoria Market, where some threw fruit at police after raiding traders' stalls.

Footage was posted online of violent scuffles as officers in riot gear pushed through the crowd in between tables piled high with produce.

"There were a few tense moments when protesters started grabbing fruit and throwing it at police," an AAP photographer said from the scene.

Other videos showed mounted police riding their horses close to a group of protesters in a bid to break the gathering up.

Protesters yelled "This is not a police state" and "You've got to be on the right side of history".
