I was amazed to find this happened in Australia, not the USA. What a shitshow.

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.)

Yeah same as someone who lives in Australia

I thought this shit would never happen here

Every system is perfectly designed to produce its observed outcomes.
