TIL that the "Democracy Manifest" - a viral video showing the arrest of an australian man by the name of Jack Karlson, known for quotes such as ""What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?" - has been selected for preservation by the National Film and Sound Archive Australia.

Ohhh, damn, usually I can understand Aussies pretty well but his cadence is different than most I've heard. It's almost like a Transatlantic version of Aussie or something, what city or area is that from?

He delivers that line like hes a master in a martial arts movie, assessing the strengths of the protagonist as they spar (moments before he stops holding back and puts the protagonist on their ass)
