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.

    This was such a harrowing read. In a just world, they’d all be up on manslaughter charges.

    I am sure in 2 years they’ll be able to retire with PTSD on workers comp.

      Yeah it’s terrifying. A government agency with a monopoly on violence doing something as ruthlessly as if it was a gang hit.

      I really appreciate how the abc broke the story.
