The New York Times Bestseller list is "pure propaganda", says Elon Musk. The newspaper even admitted in court it is "editorial content", not factual. But what about the Sunday Times version? Steven Tucker investigates.

15 year old boy killed by cops in Australia

category international | crime and justice | news report author Saturday December 13, 2008 01:33author by sdv Report this post to the editors

"Gunned down by idiot cops. That's life hey?" the message left on the myspace page of a 15 year old boy killed by police in Australia.


A 15 year old boy has been shot dead in a skate park in Australia after allegedly threatening police with knives he had stolen from a department store. Someone called the police after he had been spotted acting 'erratically'. The police claim they fired warning shots, and even if all this is true, does it justify fully grown coppers shooting a teenage boy several times? Surely they're trained to take people down safely? Especially someone who doesn't have a gun, who is smaller than them, just a kid who nicked some knives.

The boy is said to be a member of a naionalist organisation called Southern Cross. This is mentioned in the article as though it is somehow relevant but without any real explanation. Anyone shed any light?

15 year old boy. Shot dead by cops. December 2008. What's going on here?
