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.

    The whole the article is incredibly damning

    Yeah, like this part:

    On the first day of the inquest, the lawyer for the other male officer, Officer A, asked that he be excused from giving evidence due to a serious mental health condition.

    WTF? If he had a “serious mental health condition,” why the Hell was he working as a cop?!
