According to...[Victorian Police Inspector Michael Beattie], the police had specifically sought to target the leadership of the [BDS] protests, in particular those activists the police perceived as “operating a command and control function,” in order to diminish the possibility of well-coordinated demonstrations...“[T]he protesters had their own way” for too long and a “decision [was] made to draw a line in the sand and make arrests.”
