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.
