Police shoot and kill another person

[u4ea]

Maybe they weren't carrying the tazer after all the public outcry over there use!

Can they win at all?

Keeping justice with flowers and hugs is not going to work. HTFU. If you decide to be a prat and go threatening cops pause a little and think of the consequences.

...nope ..no ones a winner I guess....

"Police Kaumatua Reverend Maurice Gray had been called in to ensure that the cultural process of tapu lifting was done correctly and that the scene was rendered neutral when police work was completed."

Thank christ for that, hate to think they were culturally unsafe and someone died as a result.

But when did being a pratt mean you deserved to get shot. I just don't think being shot is a reasonable consequence if the story so far is true.

You ever been attacked with a hammer?

Perfect reason for shooting someone imho. too many stories of people with hammers in 'road rage' incidents, teach the morans that hammer = shoot.

break it down.

What would you rather they do? Get to the scene, see the guy has a hammer so all run off to get hammers themselves so they can have a 'fair' fight in which the offender has just as much chance of 'winning' and killing them?

Not shoot. Surely 1 man with a hammer against a few cops should enough?


What aload of absolute crap, Police in the U.K don't respond to offenders with bats and knives unarmed, they go in armed exactly the same way we do. Many forces have armed response vehicles which are designated for just such a role so I have no idea where you get your information from.

I am not saying they do, just saying they learn Aikido moves as part of their training so they have the skills to deal with a hammer head. They have truncheons anyway so a few Brit cops v a hammer head should be enough.

Like you say 'Armed Response' which means response to an armed situation?

I agree the Police get a hard public opinion ride.

But when did being a pratt mean you deserved to get shot. I just don't think being shot is a reasonable consequence if the story so far is true.

I mean when they catch a serial killer, do they shoot them there and then because they may be in danger? But a pratt gets shot...who was the more dangerous............

If someone runs at you with a weapon, can you ascertain in that split second you have to draw and fire your weapon, that you will be able to disarm them before they can take you out?

You say its only a hammer? I have heard of a diminutive chick taking out the largest guy on ship during an exercise with an asp baton, similar to a hammer in ability, now if she could do that to someone three times her weight and strength how are the cops meant to defend against that? How are they meant to ascertain if the threat knows Akido or other take down moves?

If you approach/threaten a member of the Police with weapon drawn....... its your own fuckin fault. The cop more than likely didn't give you the hammer and say "run towards me so I can shoot you", the person made the wrong decision and now his family and friends have to live with it, and Darwin says he doesn't get to live with his stupid decision.

Is that the correct cultural process for all New Zealanders? Or have they just given away the victims culture. As I would be offended to have someone else culture forced onto me after my death.

Stabbed in the frontal lobe!???

[Grub]

Taser woulda worked better!

Dog prolly would have worked better than both of them. Trouble is, it's easy to speculate and even easier to jump to the wrong conclusion

Yes with training. Easier that you think?

Aikido is not weight biased.

I agree but stick to my previous points

You speak of medals a funny anecdote about medals.

A Marine was hit in Afghanistan, ....

Gosport?
There are no "Bootnecks" in Gosport, Poole yes.
So are you a Matlow?

[Griff]

Police shot and killed a man last night after being called to a domestic incident.
The drama began after officers received reports a man was smashing a flat with a hammer.

Here is yet another reason why not to practice DIY in your own home.

Come on dude, they don't make mistakes like that.
Little things like life and death, yes, but the big issues like culture, never!
