Unfair tazor use, say the greens and maori party

[Indiana_Jones]

"If the pepper spray is any indication, police will be racist in its use of the Taser," said Mr Locke, adding that 55 per cent of pepper spray victims were Maori.

He acknowledged that Maori and Pacific Islanders were over-represented in crime statistics, but "I don't think adding a Taser weapon to the police is a way to reduce that".

I wonder why Maori and Pacific islanders are prodominent in crime figures, wait it couldn't be the fact that they commit more of it? :shutup:

But that's just silly, and un-pc :mellow:

It's all a misunderstanding anyway - they're just hand held jump start devices for their Holdens -the dudes in the press conference shooting each other were just having a laugh...like the old days on construction sites where we used nail guns to nail peoples feet to the ground for a laugh.

There are no Tazers. It's just a figment of imagination. Enjoy this trip....

yet 80 percent of criminals are maori

ok thats a lie but why is it racist that stats represent the truth, fuckin stupid locke needs a fucking bullet

[Back Fire]

ffs... this PC bullshit is getting old...

[idb]

I reckon you'll find that criminals will be disproportionately targetted.

They make up around 55% of the prison population, so that looks about right.
It's the ones that are sprayed or tazered then 'unarrested' that we should worry about.

I'm glad that the maori party have come out in the open and admitted their people have a crime problem. I wonder if they will now come up with a plan to address this that doesn't involve the tax payers.

pepper spray victims???? these are 99% made up of people who have broken the law and are being violent or resisting arrest or both, and all of a sudden they are the victims?

besides, I would rather be tazered anyday of day of the week rather then be pepper sprayed. A 5 second tickle compared with being blinded for 15 minutes in agony. No fucking thank you sunshine.

[placidfemme]

god... no offense to other races... but this playing the "race" card is such a load of utter bullshit. Could it infact mean that THEY are the racisits? A criminal is a criminal regardless of skin colour or ethnic background... stupid bastards

[Finn]

Oh yeah, the tazers are being launched today. Be careful when going for your license and remember not to mumble, especially if you're maori.

[Lou Girardin]

I can see a few frustrated married men trying to buy them. Not only ensures compliance, but quite a lot of movement as well. (If you're into twitching, that is)

It's called 'positive discrimination', 'inverse racism' and a whole lot of other weasel-words when politicians use race as their 'thing' to get something extra for the race they represent.

And you're not allowed to criticise or you're labelled 'racist', particularly if your white - go figure:shutup:

Like that would ever happen... Ppppffffttttttt

LOL...I married a Maori,can I get a discount or is there a line where I can simply claim one??

Now there's a fuckwit that DOSEN'T need tazering... he needs to be connected to the national grid!

bahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!! I seen that on the telly one morning.. "its not our fault its the warrior gene in us" LMAO!!!

No need to buy Lou!

There are a number of video tutorials available on the web showing how to construct your own using a disposable camera and a couple of bits of wire.

IMO the English take the cake for being the biggest pack of bastards throughout history.

Ergo, I am entitled to be a bastard - it's the bastard gene I tell ya.

Surely the Scottish also must have a 'warrior' gene. (And Nordic - vikings)

It's a pity the Warriors don't have more of a warrior gene - they might win a few more games.

Don't you mean the 'Whinging Bastard' gene, Deano?.....;>

I asked the views of everyone I know. A theme emerged.
White - mildly pro taser but no strong feeling.
Brown - vehemently against. I did not ask the dairy owner though.
Prolly its cos most my white mates not been bashed whereas the others or their families have been... here and there, with or without cause.

I believe my lily skin might therefore be taser proof (unlike me neighbours)!
Way I see it is Police must be feeling bit endangered these days with all the samurai swingin P freaks and lunatics on the loose since they closed the bins.
They have to have a form of defense given they can't travel in packs. Sunday news says they been packing for a while on the sly too. But hey'd be shy to shoot after the last mess they made.

So whats it to be - crossbow, pepper, taser or bullet. Now the moment another minority person gets shot we'll have some kinda revolution going on so they'll never tool up like the Yanks do for that reason. So whats left then? For some reason no-one yet thought of a tranquilliser dart gun.... did they?

[scumdog]

Yes they did - and it had even more criticism than the taser.

Too bulky, not quick enough to incapacitate, risk of adverse medical reaction to it etc etc....

Maybe, it's because we don't like working for a corrupt government that takes a third of your pay then hits you with GST for more, after hitting those goods already via company/trading/import taxes.
Now that this corrupt labour government are persuing a law change to allow them to get their hands on your city rates, you'll also get to enjoy considerable ongoing rates rises. :rofl:
This government supports the Maori's and PI's. There's no need or urgency for us brothers to work!!!
The Government can tax the european workers harder by the day while the bros stay home and amuse ourselves by breaking into your honky homes and applying some brotherly love taxation! :Punk: all whilst getting handed some of your earnings weekly, for free!

Talk to Motu, he'll explain how best to benefit from the system.

[Aitch]

If the choice is between being tasered and being glocked, I'll take the tasering any day!
Keith Locke needs to leave his planet and get onto this one..perhaps then he'll see things a little more rationally!

[Lou Girardin]

I don't need one for her. But I might soon need one for me.

Funny how so many people think tazers are justified, then say if you don't break the law you have nothing to fear.
Since when have tazers been proposed as a punishment for breaking the law?
I thought they were a protection for cops against violence.

Its to assist in stopping skidmarks from breaking the law (and continuing to do so???), and prevention from harming the cops etc... nice Troll though... very subtle...

But as 70% of our prison population are Maori, then that suggests that they are under represented in being pepper sprayed. I love seeing statistics misused. :dodge:

Your comment is justifiable in the light of the fact up your way violence is not seen as a crime.......

[Sketchy_Racer]

Tazerz are a good idea!

Fuk the black cunts that complain all the time.

Maoris allways complain saying

"you shouldnt stereotype us all as theving maoris"

Well if the fuckers didn't allways be the ones doing the stealing, then they wouldnt get the sterotype would they?

Warrior gene.?

Pah!!!

That a load of fucken arse talking bullshit.



Im scottish. I have the "scrawny arsehole" gene.

its not my fault

[Swoop]

The question that has to be asked though... HOW is the novelty value of the tazer going to be exploited???
I can see the prongs inserted at each end of a sausage then "zap"! Instant cooked sausages!:yes:
