Alternative title: NSW cops murder a kid because he ran home when 4 people in plain clothes pile out of a car and accost him. For wearing a hoodie.

    being fair, they might be traumatised from watching their partner murder someone. They should probably testify against them in that case though

      No, fuck that.

      Try that as anyone but a cop.

      Sorry yeronner I can’t face trial, the trauma of being arrested for murder is impacting my mental health, you’ll just have to let me go.

        Soz I thought it was obvious I was joking. Obviously they should testify. At least in writing.

        PTSD can be pretty bad, but a 20 year old kid was murdered in his backyard for the crime of wearing a hoodie on a mild day.

        That’s the sort of thing you just need to buck up for.

      Dirty cops have a history. Probably they saw that cop do shady shit before. They didn’t take action then because they didn’t care. Now they care, but only because they’re selfish.
