Because the police force, like any employer or workplace, is required to maintain policies & procedures to prevent harm being caused to innocent parties, through the undertaking the course of their duties.

Stop bogarting the Ados, and pass it round.

It's real unfortunate that it wasn't a bus that came over the brow at 110 and collected the pig.

Just seen it on the news again & from one direction there seems to be 2 yellow lines, then the other shot shows one...so mustbe leading into, or out of a double yellow zone.....

Just watched nightline where they interviewed a "motoring expert" local resident who claims the motorcycle was speeding by his hearing where TV3 tried to spin it as biker again at fault.

Formal complaint on the way you fuckers.

Why is this case any different? Because the driver was a police officer? Because there was somebody else to blame? (the ute driver)

Why?

"Road policing is all about preventing road trauma. Unfortunately the nature of our business is such that from time to time tragedies do occur.

"It is now a priority for us to ensure a thorough investigation is completed not only for the deceased's family's peace of mind, but for that of the public and our own staff."

Yes you (Mr Tooman ) used the word business correctly because thats exactly what this revenue collecting is! Fucking Business!!!

Also nobody gives a flying rat about your staff and their peace of mind!

Yeh it still is, just list the Bikers killed by Police since the inception of the force in this country, it surely shouldn't be hard?

I'm suggesting nothing of the sort, I have no more information about what happened then what you do.

I'm suggesting that riding a bike at a legal speed into a car could result in a physical impact of 21600N.

Why just bikers? Other people killed by cops dont count?

In a word...yes.

Because the police are supposedly proffessionals and in light of recent events involving u-turning chase scenarios and there highlighted fuckups,the police should have been issued new directives in regard to lack of visibility when having to perform this manoeuvre.

If directives were'nt issued then we should be demanding why.

If they were issued then why was a so called respected cop of 35 years experience totally ignoring it?

And why did an innocent man pay for it with his life.
