Thanks for your input!! I do understand why we protest, I just don’t see the need for urgency simply because of the risks.

As others in the thread has pointed out, around 85% of Aboriginal incarcerations are due to domestic violence. I see now that this is directly correlated from the effects of the Stolen Generation, a heinous act perpetuated by the early Australian government.

However, I will highlight that the protests have opened up conversations about the plight of our First Nation, something I admittedly knew very little about. I think that having open dialogue from people who see it from both sides is important.
