Police killing us again!

[peasea]

its called the Doughnut effect......................

Double meaning brilliance.

[Skinon]

More like roving sharks! Too many have accorded judgement and I cannot help but think that some of it is a ''us and them'' mentality. Were they all there at the scene witnessing the tragic fatality as it unfolded ?

Is it guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty?

Um if you've ever been through the fucked up court system we have, you'll know its guilty until proven innocent. I think regardless of the bikes speed no one pig or person should be stupid enough to do a u-turn where they cant see for exactly this reason!
He should be slapped with a dangerous driving causing death charge. Im pretty bloody sure thats what they would slap on me. And i havent had thousands of taxpayer dollers spent on me to improve my driving safety and technique.

He needs to be held accountable and made an example of for his idiocy which resulted in the death of another human.

[Katman]

Only independent investigation will be the coroner, and he'll be relying on what's fed to him by the Police Whitewash Authority.

As opposed to the KB Motorcyclist Whitewash Authority?

Insert 'Police' after KB

At least theres a fair chance that the Police Whitewash Authority are actually policeman,methinks theres plenty on here lurking behind keyboards that have ownership of nothing but virtual motorcycles.Still, no doubt they have escaped the rego hike.

[sinfull]

Did we? but iam much more polite in person so how do you know its me...(cant be warrior without my keyboard )



I dont pay attention to them until they do something stupid... since i would be in jail already if i did uturn and killed someone.

and recently i had some bad experience with them so i guess this is just built up frustration since i know that probably nothing realy bad will happen to this cop...and yes i cant do jack shit about it!

No you prob can't do nothin about it ! Just like the thousands of other drivers that do the same shit !
I won't say this cop should be treated any different (i hope he does get nailed for it) and yes i believe they will close ranks around him !
Wouldn't you hope your "team" would, if there were ever a truce in the war against the zombies lol and you made a stupid error of judgement ?

Your Avatar ? which track day ?

[Mudfart]

as far as my experience with corruption, coverups at work go, if he is a difficult, cheeky or annoying work collegue, he will face the wrath.
If he is valued and respected by the senior officers and his personal folder is in the "keeper" pile, he will be exhonerated.

When your done with that crystal ball pass it on eh,wouldnt mind knowing next weeks lotto numbers.

[SPman]

...........heard on the radio today quoting the mr tooman cop sayin the officer involved is a veteran cop who has worked tirelessly to reduce the road toll...........

Ahh - so he works in vehicle research, does he, devising things like ABS, stability control, crumple zones, airbags, vehicle dynamics, decent tires and suspension, road construction and all those other things, which helps to bring down the road toll...........ooops.....silly me....those things have had NOTHING to do with it......it's all the rozzers tireless hard work, hounding motorists

...looking for a scapegoat..

is that like a mountain goat?

yep you are right iam just a normal tax paying slave citizen...unfortunately just a second grade compared to anyone working for any kind of enforcement goverment agency.
and i get so angry that they preach to me about safety each time iam stopped for..."incorrectly mounted plate or 114km/h or whatever" and then "this" happens again and instead of formal appology to the family of the biker and promise of unbiased investigation all that happened was snarky cop spokesman starting to soften the public up by making the deceased sound like "racer" and "speeder"!!!

SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT NZ POLICE!!!!

Sometimes i think...if you cant beat them, join them...but i would rather cut my balls off than that!


anyway on different topic altogether...picture is from taupo few months ago, but you probably saw me in pukekohe or hamptons since iam from Auck.. (what do you ride? i usualy remember bikes not peoples faces ..um maybe because we wear helmets,lol)

[Robert Taylor]

What if the ''biker'' had been a policeman? Would it have been ''job well done'' taking out a policeman?
Theres some seriously scary ''us and them'' mentality going on here.

No matter how i answer you probably wont belive me....but for all thats worth, i would react almost the same.
innocent biker dead because dumbass made illegal uturn!!! Regardless of what his job was....

Also you would see different kind of investigation, his head would be a fair game as nobody kills a cop and gets away with it...not even one of their own!

[phill-k]

The cop car was travelling in the same direction as the biker, .

Not sure about that if you look at the photo the damage to the car is on the rear left side around the rear wheel, if the car had done a "U" turn in front of a following car I would have thought the damage would be to the drivers side.

[Kiwi675]

Cops been going up the hill and the car doing 154 is going the other way, he's done a u-turn at the brow of the hill and the bike has come over the hill, tried to avoid the cop by going to the other side of the road but no time and has collected the back corner of the car and spun it around to its resting position.

[Dodgey Dave]

Once again a cop has made an unsafe u-turn and the result is a dead motorcyclist.
The police seem to have no regard for other road users once they have a target in their sights. The red mist takes over and they hastily make unsafe u-turns to go in pursuit of someone doing 112km/h!

This last incident involved a cop doing a u-turn on double yellow lines and just before the crest of a hill??
Is it really worth killing people in the pursuit of a motorist to issue a $60 fine?
I thought the job of the Highway Patrol is Road Safety but time and time again all we see is the cops driving extremely dangerously to collect revenue.

Something has to be done about this.
