"We're protesting to stand up for all those who have been killed by the type of weapons on display at the convention," said Jasmine Duff, representative of Students for Palestine.
"Police used stun grenades, pepper spray, and rubber bullets and arrested 39 people during the protests, which involved 1,200 demonstrators confronting police outside the convention center."
"Protesters pelted officers with rocks, horse manure, and bottles filled with liquid irritants, resulting in two dozen officers requiring medical treatment, according to Victoria state police."
"Chief Commissioner Shane Patton stated that the use of extreme weaponry during the protests by police was necessary in response to the violent actions of demonstrators."
