Correct. More than well known enough by US citizens that have paying attention to what has been happening over past seven months. This is the stuff that had already been predicted back in 2016 by various opinionists/columnists, but what was not known was the travel direction of getting to this mess. Few would have predicted a pandemic, but maybe a few more probably would have been correct with guessing police violence could be the inevitable start of to what we have seen for past several days.

>Meanwhile, the leaders of China and Russia must be laughing their asses off.

Primarily Putin and other Russian oligarchs. China maybe not as much because China does have business ties with some of the various US corporations and would prefer to keep those going even though the Oval Office occupier has been using tariffs or extortion attempts against China to attempt to make pathetic deals so the ass can benefit personally for himself.

It is worse than that after knowing about this new revelation...

(RNS) — Early Monday evening (June 1), President Trump stood before the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Washington, DC, and held aloft a Bible for cameras. ... The photo opportunity had an eerie quality: Trump said relatively little, positioned stoically in front of the boarded-up church, which had been damaged the day before in a fire during protests sparked by the death of George Floyd.

The church appeared to be completely abandoned. ... It was, in fact, abandoned, but not by choice: less than an hour before Trump's arrival, armored police used tear gas to clear hundreds of peaceful demonstrators from Lafayette Square park, which is across the street from the church. ...Authorities also expelled at least one Episcopal priest and a seminarian from the church's patio. ... “They turned holy ground into a battleground,” said the Rev. Gini Gerbasi.

Gerbasi, who serves as rector at a different Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Georgetown, arrived at St. John’s Lafayette earlier that day with what she said were at least 20 other priests and a group of laypeople. They were organized by the Episcopal Diocese of Washington to serve as a “peaceful presence in support of protestors.”

Saint John’s Episcopal Church was the church that Reagans had attended for services because they were Episcopalians iirc

>Today an Australian news crew was shot with rubber bullets,

I believe the atrocities were committed by the Federal military police law enforcements that were called up. I don't believe D.C. police would be involved unless protestors were charging the barriers and that was not happening on Monday compared to when it did happen on Thursday and Friday.

The assault had to have been from federal law enforcement personnel since they are commanded by the ass.

One of the US news sources has reported that one of the Australian officials might be considering the idea to bring up resolution of kicking out some of the US diplomat personnel from US Embassey in Australia. I wouldn't blame Australia for going in that direction. They need to sort through list of names and see which ones are supporters of the jackass and tell those specific folks to leave immediately.

Australian Prime Minister calls for investigation after reporters violently attacked by U.S. police

Source: Mediaite

The live footage shocked Brace’s colleagues back in the Sunrise news studio, who remarked that “they’re not discriminating between protesters and the media here.” When Brace got back in front of the camera and confirmed the crew was alright, she continued to report on the chaos while saying “you heard us yelling ‘we were media,’ but they don’t care… They were quite violent and they do not care who they’re targeting at the moment.”

The incident happened as police forced protesters to disperse so that Trump could visit St. John’s Episcopal Church for a photo-op.

Australian reporter knocked down by police live on air as she covered George Floyd protests in DC

US riot police were broadcast live on air using aggressive force to push and knock down an Australian reporter and her cameraman as they covered the Black Lives Matter protests in Washington DC, prompting an investigation by the Australian embassy.

Amelia Brace, a reporter for Australian television network Channel 7, was broadcasting from the White House with cameraman Timothy Myers when police plouged into the crowd with riot shields, firing rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse them.

Footage of the police barrelling at the camera and shoving the news team was viewed over a million times in a matter of hours. In another angle of the incident filmed by a protester, an officer can be seen hitting Ms Brace on the back with a baton.
