Stabbed policeman left to die

[Toaster]

Yep, its a revolving door. Many run the odds game..... 50 burglaries is worth a few months in jail when finally caught for one or two of them. Life is easy inside with family and mates, fed, bed, tv, pool tables, no work, free soap and rubbing.... its a HOLIDAY!

They know WE pay for the insurance, WE pay for the Police, the Lawyers on both sides, the Judiciary, the prisons etc. It is one big freebee for these career crimianls who know they get out soon enough and carry on with their taxpayer funded lifestyle.

More victims, more insurance premiums and more taxes used to pay for the process of lockign them up yet again.

I for one am happy to see them rot in Jail and cause NO more victims. Stuff them, they can rot for all I care.

Prison needs to become a punishment. Only then will it have any chance of being a disincentive.

Soft rules have meant a loss of respect for any kind of authority. Now we reap what we sowed as things only ever get worse... especially for the police as they do what they can to do a difficult and often very unpleasant job. Good on them for choosing to be there.

Out of interest why havent cops here worn handguns for years?Whos responsible for them not being armed and anyone know what the reasons are for not arming them.

Idiots living in the past that say it would be a sad loss of tradition. Time to wake up and smell the violence. We are no different to the rest of the world.

Pretty much what i was thinking,can imagine some musty old prick deciding our cops dont need guns because our scum are not as bad as the rest of the worlds or some other crap,time to wake up eh we once were a little island nation in the middle of nowhere,now with the interweb/television and a fucked up immigration system weve got the lot.

what like this guy's sentence? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10694289

when the judge has a kid that gets sexually assaulted or raped by an HIV +ve man, he sure as won't be saying that the offending was 'occasionally degrading'

i'm fucking speechless

Yup farken speechless.

Yup farken speechless.

Unbelievable,shows how fucked up our whole system is.The judge needs to be banged up awhile on principal.

I think this sort of stuff is on the increase because the police are scamming and respect is all but gone because of this, re-seperate the cops from the P.I.G.s. (which is something the top cops have expressed they want to do, but the retard 'Crusher Collins' doesn't have an interest in doing, guess it would harm profit) DO NOT give them guns, we've seen over & over again they can't use them effectively its more harm than help & they'll become too reliant on that which they cannot control case in point Hutt Valley dog, Auckland Courier.

Sad thing is this guy seems to be one of the good cops, This is where we need eye for eye justice (see how they like the machete) but I suspect when found as they've got the corrupt piece of shit we call the (in)justice system to go though they'll probably come out with 250hr community service or something equally unjust

yeh, I have to agree with a couple of your points collins and her mates are running the police as a business, and of course a profit, and this I beleive, had led to disrespect towards police, however have had known a retired cop, the violence, as always been there, its just got worse with now with the use of weapons.

while I'm not a big fan of the police, there is no way I would ever condone, any kind of violence, towards police officers, and I hope they come down hard on these little buggers.

as for arming the boys in blue, I'm just not sure that is the answer, but two cops in cars in isolated areas could be a way to go, collins wouldn't like that thought mind you, it would cut into her salary.

This is where I'd disagree with you & where this whole "arm police" is a knee jerk reaction, he was blind-sided with a machete I would say if he was armed he would have still been blind-sided with a machete only then (knowing he was "packing") the gun would of been taken & most likely used against the cop, meaning instead of a badly injured cop we would now have a dead one.

What the police in NZ need is CQC training there is very little need for cops to carry guns in NZ.

it's not a knee jerk reaction Steve, I've watch NZ sink further into the shit over the past twenty years, you still had your low life back then but not to the scale we have now, they aren't going to put two cops on the same beat when their rescources don't stretch that far & as it's been said the immigration dept has let in all sorts with the help of past PM's with there pc way of thinking
I still say arm the country cops & those working alone at night

I'm not sure how this one eventually panned out: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/im...104210#6576644

What about simply sending all the fucking islanders back to where they came from eh,sure give them a chance but only one,first time they beat the shit out of there mrs or bash some old fella 1/2 to death then outta here,cant be bothered with all the tip toeing round fuck em,got to start somewhere though methinks its all to late.

I dunnow either.

But I feel sadly it was a 'shit happens' incident, they are part of life to a greater or lesser degree but tragically for some they only have the one 'shit happens' incident.......

Fuck the idea of giving police guns. Most of them couldn't be trusted with them.

True but the problem is these days most of the "criminal element do have guns" (and other weapons) and can't be trusted with them either!

At least the police are on "our" side!

I agree with you about the Justice system, from the Law society to Judges to corrections and the parole boards it is a bloody joke, it must be like an Albatross around the neck of every police officer in the country!

The latter grouping is the countries biggest problem! IMHO.

Jesus John,No doubt theres a 100 kiwi whingers on here about to dispute that,that fuckin knob Crazy Steve will no doubt post up another rant about one of his many beatings whilst in custody.

[freedom-wedge]

That will make or society worse. Cant anyone see the connection with US style policy, media and conditioning and US style crime statistics and gangster motive in the NZ young.

Hands up children and those not able to make the connection

Its lost on Borris anyhow, he cant see any connection or even understand the implications. Most of us are Pro police , but arming the front line officer will be a disaster and produce disaster. I,m sorry for the officer injured and glad that he survived I just dont think he should of been out there alone.

Why not have an armed soldier ride along on the beats that need it? They're already trained in weapons?

Bet your sorry for all the dead coppers over the years to eh,no doubt there families will appreciate that,wake the fuck up or at least burst whatever comforting little bubble that surrounds you.2 unarmed coppers are little more use than one,one anti scumbucket device evens the odds a little at least.
