I had a quick skim thru the posts. Seems to me Brunsrom excercised some poor judgment. Perhaps a talk with the family explaining how the death could be used as an awareness campaign might have been more expediant. But to use police photos that were taken for evidential purposes and to use these for a promotianal campaign, no matter how well-intentioned Brunstom might be, is just plain wrong.

The biker community seem hell-bent on Brunstrome's dismissal. I don't think that this act alone justifies it but then there may be other issues that have not got the media's attention as this one has.

there is a lot more to this man/problem than just what is on that link, if you google his name you will see that! the man is a complete and utter wanker that should be treated how he treats all others, with contempt!!!

Haven't read the thread, but I'll just point out that New Zealand's (and KB's) national pastime is whingeing.

We've got it sweet here. Trust me.

Agreed. Too many migrating here from the UK! hehehehe!!
But yes that cop over there does have "issues".

On a serious note, I worked with some great ex-UK coppers in NZ. Nice guys and gals. I think about 1 in 5 have left the job just like I did. Being a cop is getting tougher... they get abuse from the media, the public, the criminals, the courts and the bosses.

Give them a break guys, they are just doing the job they are ordered to do - and one few of the critics would have the guts to do I am sure.
