New Zealand police must be real hard up for staff

**Scouse** · 13th September 2008, 15:32

I read in the Harold with great displeasure today that if you are a Sikh and you are in the NZ Police you can now swan around with a dark blue Nappie on your noggin. I call this the thin end of the wedge what next. Foreign monkeys should not be allowed to cause the traditional police uniform to be changed just to suit their religion.

At least he's willing to do his bit.

If you are a real scouser, then you are just as much a "foreign monkey" as he is.

If you are locally assembled, but from scouse stock then you are disrespecting your ancestors.

If it has nothing to with your ancestry, then I don't know.

Yeah, the poor silly bugger hadn't seen all the negative crap on the media (and KB) and though joining the Police was a good move..Sucker!

Dont get your point, uniforms are always changing?

Isn't it against a scouser's beliefs to be in the police at all??

Unless you're setting villians to catch villians, obviously..

Good on the officer concerned. Another "sector" of society represented on the thin blue line.

And if a London Beefeater enters the NZ Police Force, surely he can wear a big black fluffy hat?

I thought he looked like a very proud guy, one who will be an asset to the community he serves. He is obviously big enough to rise above the racist bigotry that some people can serve up.

And if a Bantu warrior joins the NZ Police does that mean that he can parade around in his birthday suit and a spear?

Didn't realize the Beefeaters were a religion

I went to school with members of a few Sikh families, they played rugby cricket and all the other traditional sports just like all us other kids!

They all grew up as New Zealanders just like we did, so if one wants to wear his turban as part of his Police uniform and they say its OK then it suits me.

We need more Police don't we?

It's the "Man" in the uniform that counts, not the bloody uniform on the man.

Our Police get the least support of any section in New Zealand society and we get back better than what we what we give.(IMHO)

I wish knockers on here would focus more on the lousy bloody Justice system, rather than the Police!

I could go on forever but.......

I think you have missed the point. The two are in fact quite different; Sikh's wear their headgear for everyday use irrespective of where they are. You might be surprised to find that the average Bantu does not spend his day wandering around naked carrying a spear. Most of them have actually made it to the 21st century, hell, some of them even wear suits!

Can't see a worry. Good on him. Looks quite smart too. More protection than the regular hat. Dunno how he's go in STG/AOS though.

I don't care what ethnicity the police is made up of. If they meet the standard then they're as good as any bloke.

Can't believe they have women in there though......jeez I mean women acting all girlie.......I'm just kidding ladies you're all good too.
