Because their "job" is to protect us citizens, Not shoot us with their glocks.

And fuck me, we can't even trust em to not kill us with their cars, and you want them running around with the power to shoot people dead whenever their "judgment" dictates its a great time to fire off some hot lead....

I'd be happy to put some stocks into Cathedral square once a month (on a Sunday after church maybe).
I suggest we put the most heinous offenders in them and sell rotten fruit and dry dog-shit to the public at a fair price so they can throw them at the crims. Win, win really, entertainment (Bob Parker could sell the TV rights and host the show), the public get to vent, the offenders get hurt and humiliated and it would raise some money for the city council to spend on fixing our friggen roads!

Yeah, That'll work.

Start another one for world peace, and one to abolish famine, then we can knock off early and head down the pub for a pint.

I know cops that would love a good excuse to shoot somebody.

3 news reaches a new low reporting shit like that. they had video (which was great and would seem to condradict the 'beat up'), but ffs

I am sure they were yelling out "stop resisting, stop resisting!!!" Yes the media comments leave a lot to be desired!

I hope the scumbag shooter gets more than the book thrown at him for his murder of the dog and attempted murder of the constables. Cops put up with a lot of crap for their megre wages. Including abuse from whinging speeders bleating on about speeding tickets they deserved anyway and have the gall and lack of spine to call them scum for doing their job. I'd like to see them line up for a job like that and see what they have to say then.

I really feel for the constable who not only got shot in the face but also lost his partner and friend the police dog.

**dipshit** · 13th July 2010, 19:50

I think there will be more public outcry over this one because of the dog.

Yep, every time the cops shoot someone there's a hue and cry from someone. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Cool!! I'd be a starter for paying to throw rotten stuff and shit at them. Maybe for extra you could shove it in their faces, rub it through their hair (if they have any) etc.

**stuff like this brings out the worst in me......**

Theres no doubt that sooner or later there going to get them anyway so why do they persist in fucking about.Good old NZ is no longer good old NZ nor has it been that way for many years and coppers are pretty much at the mercy of every junked up piece of shit waiting to have an episode.This shit pisses me off so can only imagine how the cops involved feel not to mention the fact that the waste of space that did the shooting gets to sit in prison sucking air when a bullet at the scence would have saved everyone some hassle.http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10658506

No, don't give them guns. Some of these mouth breathing cops can barely handle their duties now, and you want to arm them? Getting shot is one less thing I have to worry about at a "routine traffic stop".

Search on google for all the "accidents" that the armed police have. "Accidents" where animals and people were murdered or received life changing injuries. And as you've seen with the U-Turn cop etc, they get away with a slap on the wrist because they're higher up than a standard citizen.

Edit: Here's one for you http://www.toledoblade.com/article/2...348/0/ARCHIVES

Cop shot a motorcyclist in the spine during a routine traffic stop and paralyzed him. Reason? "I thought he had a weapon on him". There's a video, if you watch it, you can see clearly no attempt was made to reach for any weapon:

Its an age old argument eh Mike...damned if they do and damned if they dont.
Personally, I say no to arming cops. Even if they had been armed yesterday, the outcome would probably have been the same, why? because they (the police) did not anticipate a firearm being used against them. If they did, then, and only then, would the outcome yesterday be different. It would have ben the AOS facing off, not two cops and a dog.

**98tls** · 14th July 2010, 07:44

Actually wasnt a police dog "murdered " here,and no doubt the cop that was shot in the face will have "life changing injuries".As for the U-turn cop my opinions different than yours so yea i say arm them,tis not the cops fault we live in a pretty sick society why should they be at the mercy of every fuckhead that wants to shoot someone over a bit of dope?
