The indigenous people of Australia died by the droves as a result of colonialism. Now the cops there are mad because the indigenous people get rowdy in defense of their rights?

Huh?

Cops rescue Aussie PM

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard stumbled and was caught by a security guard as riot police helped her force a path through a crowd of rowdy protesters following a ceremony to mark Australia's national day yesterday.

She appeared distressed as she was pulled away from the protesters but was unharmed. She later remarked that she was made of "pretty tough stuff" and commended police for their actions.

About 200 supporters of indigenous rights had surrounded a restaurant and banged its windows while Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott were inside.
