Cops blinded by their own stupidity

[QUOTE=Indoo]I think your right, people who take shows like that at face value definately do have an IQ problem. Its a shame how gullible people can be, shows like that aren't out to promote facts, they are out to create a story and place a slant on things to grab peoples interest by twisting facts.

Do tell us the true story then.

The guy shouldn't have run after them. He stopped the break in and in doing so performed his civic duty, he should have left it at that and called the police at that point. ..

With all respect, what good would that have done? In Auckland it is very unlikely that the police would have responded at all. If they did, it would be so long delayed that the offender would be many miles away and completely untraceable . And would simply return again the next night . Is the guy to remain on guard perpetually , chasing the criminal away every night ?

The message all this send to criminals is "Go for it. If your burglary etc is successful, you're in the money. If someone interrupts you, run away. There's nothing they can do to stop you . And then go back again the next night, only a matter of time until you're successful".

If the public are not going to catch these people who is ? Certainly not the police, in Auckland at any rate.

One thing's for sure, just as we almost have anarchy on our roads (except for speeding), we will also have it in other crimes unless crims learn that crime hurts.

... Or we could of course just let everyone beat the shit out of each other for anything.

Seems fair enough to me
Who could we sell the TV rights to, though . . .?

Duh, whoever pays the most money!

[froggyfrenchman]

theres some idiots out there... have alil respect forthe real police. None at all for highway patrol! gather revenue from somewhere else!

The police have to step back and have a long hard look at themselves and wonder why no one is joining these days, most people support people who look after their community and dont want to see innocent people behind bars while criminals and the scum of society are continually let free!

A shortage of c*nts perhaps

Read post #2.

Never mind, more neg. TV + more suckers to believe that it is ALL true = less people wanting to join police.

They will then have to offer more money to encourage people to join and I might get a pay increase out of it, hell, bring on more crappy TV stories!!

EDIT: Imagine the story from the other perspective "Grown man beats 15 year old with metal base-ball bat for breaking window - and window not even property of bat wielder"

The 15 year old was 6' tall and his own father was commending the hero who wacked him

He should have crippled the fucker.You don't tend to continue robbing if you have to hobble to make your get away

[Pixie]

he has stepped into the realms of vigilantyism. He has also put himself at great risk as he could have been set upon by three male offenders. !

I'll take note of this for future reference,should I see a police officer having the shit kicked out of him

Why the hell didn't the old man give the loser son a whole lot of 'whack' earlier in his life??

Nah, if you cripple him you know the effing lazy loser will be on ACC for the rest of his miserable life.
If he ain't crippled he MAY get a job at some stage.

i once ruptured an assailant with the leg off a chip stand [it's a loooooooong story] -- does that count as vigilantwhateversom?

Depends what the 'assailant' was doing!!

Did the chip-stand fall over when you took its leg??

[mstriumph]

attacking moi [he was a bit pissed that i'd interupted him robbing a deli]..... but only with his hands at that point - ie HE didn't have any bits of chipstand

[i'd very fortuitously landed on it during the course of the struggle and it sort of came to bits as i emerged from it ....... handy really....].

the police later warned me that i could be in trouble if they caught him and he wanted to press charges

luckily he didn't

Not allowed to chastise your kids

It's a big MAY.

I reckon the police/corrections/WINZ will sponsor most of his adult life, with the odd sprinkling of ACC in there from injuries sustained during attempted escapes from custody or failed burgs... and don't forget the odd hospital admission for stupid shit caused by P use.

You and I need to stop wasting our time playing on the net, we've got some serious taxes to pay here for this person!!
