What absolute fuckin crap. The only blame here is with the asshole who started this whole situation and was firing shots at random in public including shooting another driver whos vehicle he was trying to hijack. Then he could have easily gone on to shoot you or one of your family. What happened to the young lad was tragic but was due to circumstances that were out of control. Your comment is not only ignorant but is racist as well and has been made before the facts of any enquiry have even been released.

The beginning of your post is a nearly perfect for my own use as a reply. Only police officers with training, the AOS, should be using firearms on the "beat".
I make no claims to be an expert at all. If anything it sounds like your the one making yourself out to be an expert with all that cock pulling about serving over-seas.
While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.
A post-mortem examination of the man killed on Auckland's Northwestern Motorway yesterday has revealed the fatal shot came from a police firearm. From http://www.stuff.co.nz/4828706a11.html
I would be interested in what statements or evidence has been gathered prior to the post-mortem result that is in keeping with the post-mortem findings.

This is an absolute tragedy in every respect, had the Police shot the offender earlier the innocent teenage father would still be alive.
PC critics have a lot to be ashamed of and in my opinion are the ones who should be on trial.
There is no excuse for this.You could see it coming after that futile attempt to shoot the bloody dog!
Pathetic. John.
he was shot by the police... oh well... "sorry,we'll be more careful next time...honest"![]()

From the arms act 1983,
section one
Rule 4: identify your target beyond all doubt.
.You must positively identify your target beyond all doubt before firing.
If in doubt DON'T Shoot
.Do not fire at movement only
.Do not fire at colour only
.Do not fire at sound only
.Do not fire at shape only
Rule 5:check your firing zone
Be aware of what could be hit in the area between you and your target,and the area beyond your target.
(ask yourself: what if I miss my target)
Well that was answered in a fatal way, by a totally innocent young person.
I guess these rule don't apply to the Police.
northwestern motorway is busy around that time, use of a rifle, how far would a bullet travel, somewhere between 1.5 and 4.5Km
Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

Yep SHOOT the criminal is the key here...not anyone else.
So lets see..
Pursuits often end in tragedy...
Shooting at a hijacked van ends in tragedy
I see a trend here.
We don't know all the facts but if the Police did have a clear shot surely they would have had to be right along side or ahead and if they were they should have seen the deceased...
The whole situation turned into a regretful mess by all accounts.
But what surprises me, is it started from a bag snatch, (I think).
Desperate times.
