A sad day for the NZ Police

[Firefight]

Just had a call from wellington,

A Police Officer has been killed in the Line of Duty.




I would ask that those who wish to offer their thoughts /respect do so in this thread, .






My thoughts and those of my fellow Firefighters are with All Police Officers today.

Very sad indeed. Their job is hard enough at the best of times. So nice to hear that the occupant of a neighbouring house came out and offered the other constable comfort and a cuppa.

Condolences to the family.
Going to work fit n healthy, then going home in a coffin is tragic.

I have total respect for all in the Emergency services - and their families. They do what seems to be a thankless task at horrible hours, and too often at their personal risk.

To the family - thank you and my condolences.
To the officer - rest in peace.

To the offender - may justice be done.

Not good, we don't have enough police as it is...

This is tragic.

RIP Occifer.

[riffer]

Yeah, very rough.

I work in Tawa, and it's a bit of a shock here today.

Derek Wooton seems to have been a well respected officer in these parts, and was well known.

RIP.

Very sad, what an absolute waste, may the iron fist of the law come down swiflty and harshly on the driver/murderer.

[Deano]

My condolences also.

Very sad, what an absolute waste, may the iron fist of the law come swiflty and harshly on the driver/murderer.

Please refrain from any speculation in this thread though.

The news today said the driver is facing 5 charges, including dangerous driving causing death.

Condolences to the fallen....
I am a volunteer / second in charge in our local FERG (fire and emergency response group) and feel for the emergency services staff!

[firefighter]

dangerous driving causing death.

Murder in other words.......that's what the charge should be, i'm not implying anything at all to do with what happened.....that's all I mean don't make anything of it.

Scumbag carjacks a car, flees Police and kills one while trying to avoid arrest... Call it what you like... Bet he would have been shot without hesitation in some places....
