Fair Go tonight

[Mom]

Funny thing though, I heard Real Estate agents getting named more than the cops tonight, I did my ticket a couple of years ago, was warned that people selling real estate were "knicker sniffers" while I was doing it.

Mind you, the police have a long road to travel before they earn back the respect of the common man/woman at the moment, lets hope they can eh guys? My opinion about them was not great for a few reasons prior to all this shit going down currently, I wait with interest to see how they go about getting me to really change my mind.

The point is 10 years ago had this poll been conducted no one would have mentioned the police as being the least trustworthy of professions, just the opposite I would suggest.
A sad sign of the times and reality check that a still large part of society refuses to accept.
Alarm bells should be ringing folk's.

So was there a poll 10 years ago?

Rising population, rising media coverage....the only constant is change young man...............

True Mom but at same time we only read what we read in the papers and media and I still feel that help starts with PAttitudes.......that is Public Attitudes................

Real Estate Agents..surprised at that one as different to my experience.....whoops did you notice the point I was making.

you must've got the gay ones.

we know how they look after their own, eh helen

Sadly though, public perception of the police is not just formed from what people see and hear and read in the media, the personal contact with plod in all manner of things for some is more than enough to confirm what they see etc........I agree with SPB it is worrying that the police are not trusted, lets hope that they start working really hard to change the current opinion that many share about them

That would do it for me, every time! I will let you know when I am buying. John.

You are of course wonderful......

Dunno, see your point. Guess I just see it from a different angle.

The thong I guess is that personal contact is often subjective from the person's point of view and if you weaned out those case where the offender did not accept they were wrong when they were (which must happen a lot eh?) this could distort the overall perception and of course now with all the cop bashing going on right now, when a member of the public is stopped by Police for a legitimate reason they are more likely to be less objective and be more negative towards the situation...........

Mind you Maha is not averse to knicker sniffing from what I remember...........

[James Deuce]

IRONY seems to be a waste of time on this board.

gone from this thread.

I think you were attempting Alannis Morrisette type irony there. You know. Not irony.

Target is a totally different programme.............

I haven't met a Doctor yet that I would trust to leave a small gerbil with, let alone a real person.

I rate Real Estate agents above Doctors. I haven't met a Real Estate Agent who wasn't a lying, thieving, self-aggrandising, lump of cod-piece lint.

20 or even 30 cops out of tens of thousands who have served over the last 30 years aren't enough to sway my trust in a Cop or the force in general. The Politicians who set their policies however. I trust them less than Doctors.

All the Fair Go "poll" is any indication of is of people who watch the State Broadcaster: huddled in front of their TVs, wearing hand-knitted cardies, illuminated by energy-saver lightbulbs, not knowing how to operate the remote control, thinking that netball is the only competitive sport played in New Zealand, and that the Labour Gummint is going to solve all their troubles. Despite some recent bad press, I'd put my trust in the sworn constabulary any day, in preference to hoards of real estate agents and aromatherapists.

Yep they are all gay in fact even the lesbians...........

nah bro.. your confused. Lesbians aren't gay, they're vegetarians or students... DUh!

jeez spb - you have a fucking sad life. all you seem to worry about and spend your time doing is either slagging off the cops, or looking for ways to slag them off. you need to get out more.

i'm sure he'd get out a lot more if he didn't have the filthy rozzas following him everywhere he went.. poor boy is plagued by 'em

[boomer]

ps.. didn't watch it, but i agree.. topical issues brought to the fore don't help. That along with the fact that teh real estate agent wanted 30 odd grand for floggin my house, thieving ***ts and the rozza's just want me to pay in installments for some reason...

filth.. all ov 'em. and did you just watch the true/rel crime shit on the vatican....

meh! god botherers aka kiddie fiddlers
