NSW Police are the most corrupt and incompetent in the nation. But not to fear - NSW politicians and the media will defend them to the ends of the Earth! /s
The murderers were suspicious because Brad was “wearing a hoodie on a hot day”? WTF? It was 23 Celsius. That’s 73 Fahrenheit. I’m in a hoodie with the hood up until it’s at least 26 Celsius because I’m fuckin cold!
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.
nsw pol are complete bastards. Murdered a 90 year old with dementia cause she was armed with a walking frame and knife. Patrol the streets with drug dogs that indicate based on handler not drugs (and even aside: wtf?), strip search tweens illegally, stop music festivals by charging organisers a few hundred thousand to cover the costs of stop and searching random people.
Completely cooked force. My BIL is one of them and I really mean it when I say they’re all fucking cunts.
No, it’s just the usual Aussies in denial about how shit their country has become. All.they have left is pretending they’re superior to assauge some pretty significant cognitive dissonance. (Any Australians reading this, that means when your heads hurt.)
The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.
If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop
The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a “proactive policing” policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio
Yeah like the consequences on one side: idk a kid with a can of spraypaint gets away? maybe worst likely case someone runs off with a handbag of replaceable, material, things.
OTOH a child is murdered under shady circumstances and the killers get off due to lack of evidence.
The hypothetical handbag in question does not exist. You are doing this on a post about a real young man who was shot dead by police for wearing a hoodie. Read the room.
I’ve had someone let themselves into my house while I slept and steal my adhd medication, I’ve been hunted over the course of several hours by a gang of young men who were beating me up to let me run to chase me over and over again before being left to die in a gutter (saved by a cab driver, 1 person of several hundred who drove by), I’ve been held hostage as part of a shakedown, I’ve been mugged at knife point.
I’m not unfamiliar with being a victim of a crime, it sucks. The fear doesn’t go away just because someone gets caught later on. There is no world in which catching someone bolting with a handbag/laptop/whatever is worth not having body cam footage because of situations like this. If you want police to actually stop crimes from happening in the first place in dangerous areas then I put to you that a marked car and uniformed officers wearing cameras would be far more effective.
They executed someone in their backyard for no reason and there is no evidence. This is literally the most terrible sort of crime that can happen and there is no fucking evidence because this chud was more concerned with being a hero (allegedly, of course maybe he wanted no evidence while he murdered someone). There is no excuse.
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?!
This is horrific. There’s no excuse for those cops ‘not knowing’ when they can retain someone and when they are allowed to walk on…that’s literally their job. So sad.
Disguised “proactive” stop and search shit is secret police stuff.
This is an entirely predictable outcome of the policy. It is social murder.
If you heard about this happening in North Korea, China, Russia etc you would go “well duh, this is why authoritarian policing is unacceptable”. It is intolerable that we permit this, he was a child and he was gunned down with all the cruelty of a cartel hit squad running home for safety.
Idk what the usa has to do with this. We’ve had an authoritarian policing style since our days as a prison colony. Our old cities are designed without public squares to prevent assembly. It’s… not good.
It got worse faster since 2001 and the islamophobic moral panic around terrorism. Even our Parliament house, designed to have a green on top so pollies would remember they are below the people, is fenced off now with armed coppas.
