MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chief Commissioner Shane Patton, who participated in the march, called the group of up to 50 people "an ugly rabble".
He said there was a premeditated decision to throw paint at police participating in the event in St Kilda.
Chief Commissioner Patton said the 100 unarmed members taking part showed restraint and he has "nothing but contempt" for the group.
"Our intention was literally just to walk in front of them, so that it would be raised awareness that we rejected police in midsummer."
Nevo, who uses they/them pronouns, said many of those taking part in today's protest disagree with allowing police to participate in the march.
Nevo said some people forgot the darker history of how pride marching began in the 1970s in Australia.
The original article contains 378 words, the summary contains 125 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
bad bot holy shit that's an awful truncation.
Not great grammar but gets the content across seems fine to me
