It appears the Otara attack was unprovoked

And you have my approval to tazer any fucker who's wearing a hoodie and mumbles.

I've only ever seen a chick wearing mumbles, and even then I don't think that's the correct name for them.

But I could definitely see her lips moving.

I cruised up towards them slowly... waiting for them to move... well... then the verbal abuse started, some of the kids would have been no older than 9!! and the foul language was just unbelievable. When they started approaching the car, I seriously thought

'Oh shit... this isnt going to be good'!...I saw a chance (gap) to get outta there and threw the 4x4 into gear and took off. Now I have to fill in 3 pages of paperwork bout it too

What is really disturbing is whilst finishing our run we saw no less than 15 other kids (in small goups) roaming around with what seems to be the latest trend, whips of some kind. (anybody else noticed this??!?!).Certainly doesnt make one feel safe, we were just minding our own business and doing our job. The incident mentioned above occured at around 6.30pm, it wasnt even dark!! where are the parents?? do they know wtf their kids are doing?? and what they are carrying with them??!

As with what happened with the young kid 'Riki', innocent people are being caught in the crossfire!! something needs to be done about it... and fast!!

damn stuff that i work round that area too umm, those whip thingy's are just lavalava's wrapped up. i dont know what i would of done, probably dropped down acouple gears and booted it giving them a fright, pisses me off cause alot of them are really disrespectful. one teen was going to throw a wooden stick at my bike, and i slowed down and looked at him and said"fark u", and he just turned away and walked off. the guys at work were talking bout what happened to that riki guy, one of the guys were blaming it on the parents and all the bad influence from america and shit.

I think the cops must be the most disillusioned group of people in the county, because the ethics and ideals that they so strongly believed in when they joined up have been deemed irrelevant. Their authority and value to society as law enforcement officers has been completely diluted by the politicians.

But we should be delighted... our country is going down the tubes, but quotas are being met!

Okay, I'm done. Who's next?

What everybody (well except for Lou and a few others) was that once NZ had a shitload less Police.

They had Traffic Officers who (mainly) just did traffic and they had Police who did Police stuff.

Then they got amalgamated by the Govt in 1992 "so NZ will have twice as many Police" - yeah right!!

If they had been left as they were then the public would not be expecting Police action from Traffic Officers who now happen to wear the same uniform as Police.

But unfortunately the public don't differentiate between the two braches now like they use to pre '92.

My 2 cents worth.

Could it be because of quotas?

Oh god no! You don't want to win the bloody war you idiot!! Then you have to prop up their economy for a generation and rebuild their country and the whole lot of them would come live here (hmm hang on).

Better off starting a war with the yanks, loosing (after letting blow up some worthless shite like Auckland or the Suzuzki storage depot) after a few days and letting build a few bases, set up some universities, airports, harbours, roads, electricity grids etc and they will loose interest in a year or so (once they find out we really don't have any oil) and they will piss off and bomb someone else. if we time it right with our neighbours we could get the whole region lookin pretty sharp in 20 years.
