Brad Balzan died a violent death in his own backyard. Some are calling it "the worst outcome imaginable of proactive policing".

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.

    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.
