So this farcical has gone from a so called 'peaceful, loving' protest, to a virus riddled occupation full of filth, excrement and foul language etc ... to a violent situation where everything including the kitchen sink are now being thrown at the Police.

Apparently some protesters have been in possession of various weapons, including fire extinguishers, a cord set up as a trip wire, paint-filled projectiles, homemade plywood shields and pitchforks.
Currently there is a tent burning rapidly, all the while protesters are throwing fuel on the flames including mattresses as well as signs. They are throwing whatever they can on the fire including rubbish bins.
Protesters are hurling projectiles, including metal pipes at police officers.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
To all of you who chose to protest, and I use that word loosely as it's not a protest, YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME and you sure as heck don't speak for the majority of us. So stop saying you are😡
You are an embarrassment now, both nationally and internationally - the shame of it all.
And what exactly did you achieve excluding notoriety? NOTHING! Absolutely nothing!

Shortly after 7.30pm on Sunday, the Piha Surf Life Saving search and rescue squad was alerted by police to a child in distress off Piha’s Lion Rock.
A spokesman for Northern region surf lifesaving said volunteers responded to the incident immediately from their homes and three lifeguards swam into the water with rescue tubes.
But by this time, the children and their father were already back on the shore, with the help of surfer and Piha local Nick Brown-Haysom.
