"A private security guard who was hired by 9NEWS is the suspect detained by DPD. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to hire private security to accompany staff at protests."

SEEMS like there were no threats made towards 9News in any of these videos, and apparently he's unconnected to Antifa (so far). So where did they hire this security guard from, and why would they need armed security at peaceful protests?

Edit: Update via Tim Pool, guy was a leftist.
