The circumstances leading up to the event surely don't warrant such a serious fuck up. I hope those involved are getting the required "retraining" behind closed doors while the arrogant facade being presented to the public is maintained.

Hope I'm never left to die on the side of the road by over paid monkeys too useless to do their job.

They must have been dreaming about the whacking great seatbelt fines they could have issued these lads.....Hell, I'm surprised that wasn't enough motivation to find him.

C'mon, stop trolling.....

Signed;
An Overpaid Monkey (paid for by your taxes

You would only qualify as an overpaid monkey if you left me on the side of the road to die.

If you used your great cunning and skill to save my life then you would be a champion of the people, a person without peer, an all around great person, and grossly under paid.

Protocol. I have'nt taken anyones word yet for all persons being accounted for until i've checked- people do stoopid shit at accidents like wander off in a daze down the road- more common than you think.

You have to search regardless, as I said above you can't take peoples word for it you have to check, though I kinda think the other two being un-cooperative would have hampered this, should perhaps have been other agencies involved so they can do the jobs pertinent to them......

that way the job gets done properly.....but one can only speculate. I agree I don't blame the cops for this really.

Maybe you could join said monkeys and show them how to do it since your so well informed and trained in the field?

I'd bet my entire fortune that armed with a torch,a helper with a torch, and 30 minutes I could find a person within 28 metres.

Do you doubt you could?

If you knew he was there, yep, sure, why not, but remember, they didn't know, they just searched quickly for the sake of being thorough, and missed him, it happens, and in the end, not really the cops fault as they had to deal with the other idiots, sure it's easier for me to be more thorough, but I don't have to take them back with me and process them, I get to leave and forget about it. Don't be too harsh on our cops they do a better job than they get credit for. You may have found him but is that the end of it or will you process, write up hours of paperwork to see the judge give them a pat on the head, as well as all the other idiots your going to deal with that night? Remember they deal with heeeeeaps (technical word lol) of this crap constantly, it's not like this was their one job for the night now is it? They did what they thought was sufficient. Shit happens, a punk got punked, I won't leave any sleep over it.

Looks like they were racing before the crash.

And now the boy has died.

Really? You must be Superman with X-ray or IR vision.
Took a week to find a young guy's body on the main road between Napier/Hastings. He was walking, hit by a car and flung into the flax bushes. The driver told police they thought they'd hit someone, the guy never made it home, his shoe/s were literally in the middle of that part of the road.
His rugby club mates eventually did a grid search along the road and environs, before he was found. Perhaps it was the smell....

really....i would say it would be prety hard to find someone at night, 30 meters away probably hiding in a ditch, perhaps the cops should have got the dog in to search the area then hopefully it could have had a chunk of this guy, that would give them something else to complain about, sad that he has died but we make our own luck and he didnt make enough

Thats a disgrace. Hope heads rolled within the Police over that as well, though I doubt it. Its a gross failing when the rugby club have to the do the job the police failed to do.

But that's the state of the police effort in NZ I suppose, Champions at writing tickets, If you need anything else your better off taking care of it yourself.

For what its worth, I don't hold the police responsible for the kids death.

**imdying** · 21st January 2009, 11:38

We've an underfunded police department that's fighting wars on a number of different fronts... if we had less wanker P heads and retard gang members taking up their time, there might've been a chance of a dog squad being able to come on site for a sniff. There's some blame to be laid here, but it ain't on the police...

**Duke girl** · 21st January 2009, 15:18

If anyones to blame for the death of the guy who wasn't found straight after the accident happened should be those 2 wankers that didn't have the decencey to tell the police about him being involved. Why would you bother looking for a third party if you didn't know there was 1?. I hope those 2 little wankers get what they deserve for not informing the police at the time of the accident about being with him. If they did then maybe he would still be alive today.

Nope.

Of course it would kinda help the motivation to do a search if you thought there might be actually be somebody lying in the ditch.....like say if somebody involved in the crash bothered to say 'there were three of us in the car' or something daft like that.

Ah well:- Darwin 1 : Losers 2 (this time).

Precisely. I can't see how the police were at fault when the two other occupants of the car were taken to hospital by their mates - did THEY look around for their mate before leaving? No, probably wanted to get the hell out of there before the cops arrived and started a) asking questions and b) breath testing the driver.

No doubt the father of the dead loser will raise hell and call for an independent inquiry into the handling of this matter but the fact remains that the father's COUSINS were the two who left his son to die, not the police.

What's the bet they'll carry on being losers and end up being a total waste of space?
