You'd be surprised how much fun you can have with a car battery/jump leads and a drunk guys testicles.

Well, he WAS moving his leg. I guess that's enough reason the spray the sucker.

Shoddy work that he could have stepped in to to ensure all was good?

Disgruntled ex member rings a familiar tune...

Not AC as I recall.
Aren't all ex-members disgruntled though? Especially the ones who feel free to finally speak out. You've just confirmed another piece of cop culture, 'you're either with us or you're the enemy'.

Most aren't and if they are its more at the 'system' than anything else. Those who pop up everytime there is a Wallace type incident and add their 2c into the occasion have agendas. I know of ex cops turned lawyers, now promoted as credible experts in the media bleating about police corruption and brutality, who themselves were actually crooked as hell in the job and forced out.

Have you taken your evidence to the Law Society?

Why? being dishonest is a virtue in a lawyer, honest defense lawyers or those with a strong moral compass, don't tend to have a very high sucessful rate.

Have you realised you're talking the same way about lawyers as we talk about cops?

AC maybe not, but Definitely Area Commander for Auckland, and very high up the food chain.

All ex's disgruntled? Nope... he was in a position to fix the so called problems he sees so clearly now. Plently of ex members who have moved on and left em to it. Some just want 15 seconds of fame though...

C'mon now, you know how it works in quasi-military organisations. By the time you reach the top, you've been captured, You think like the people you replace.
