If any of us chased down and shot somebody *for wearing a hoodie* we would go down for manslaughter or murder. When the cops do it, they face no charges at all.

If Chris Minns stubbed his toe, he'd say the answer is more police powers.
Cops aren't the solution to racism, they're the problem.
It's already a crime to incite hatred based on race, but the cops didn't care - in fact they approved the Form 1 for the rally!

New article - police and unions!
Police and labour unions have a contradictory relationship. A key role of police has been to break strikes, harass and even kill union members. At the same time, in many jurisdictions police are highly unionised themselves.

It’s curious that the cops did everything they could to shut down the recent “March for Humanity” across the Harbour Bridge in court, but didn’t oppose today’s white supremacist “March for Australia”.

Cops aren't trained mental health professionals - they're trained killers. Calling these incidents "welfare checks" is really vile when so often the police kill people who need help. We need trained mental health response teams to replace the cops before they kill again.
