Apparently someone was shot by police the other day and that acted as a trigger. Now the anarchists and looters have taken over.

You should have been listening to AM. They had a few expat journalists and radio/TV presenters giving their first hand impressions.

One caller to Deb Cameron (702 Sydney after AM) said some police were claiming if they intervened they would be accused of racism because of the difference in ethnic mix between the rioters and police. His reliability may be questionable, but on AM they were saying the trouble was mainly in poorer areas with large immigrant populations.
