In short:

Police used capsicum spray on neo-Nazis who disrupted an asylum seeker rally in Melbourne last night.

The group was clad in black and chanted white supremacist slogans while holding an offensive banner.

Police said no arrests were made and nobody was injured.

Of course, before any of this they first sprayed one of the speakers for the asylum seeker rally...

Pretty damn typical of cops to not arrest the nazis or do anything useful for the community, they need to get to other rallies so they can pepper spray children and trample trans youth with their horses.
