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.
America and by extension other parts of the world are too busy with culture war shit to notice the real war going on.
And people wonder why anyone with half a brain keeps say the world is sliding into a Conservative shitehole.
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.
The brain rot comes from there and spreads like wildfire 😑
