Female officer beaten until unrecognisable by teen

[scumdog]

Maybe the apparent policy of hiring front-line officers who are patently physically incapable of handling the rigours of the job needs to be re-examined?

It's the only way they can keep the numbers up.

Imagine if all recruits had to be 6'6" 17 stone males??

Hell, we'd have a total of 1,800 front-line cops....

[wbks]

Verses a 6"4 180kg PISSED Male Poly.......

China Man gets deck...Even though the Male Poly has never had a day of Fight Training in His life....

Crazy Steve...

We'd better arm the cops and shoot the bastard then

[Cr1MiNaL]

Hey listen I have always maintained the police (not inc my mates) are stupid creatures, daft to the core and beyond reason. Arm them with a gun and we'll have more kids running around SA and Gi waving 9mm's at each other. Cops are already armed with more they can handle, a rule book and a half working brain. FTP.

[McJim]

That a police officer got beaten.

So it's alright for a member of the public to get beaten to a pulp but not a Police Officer? I consider it scandalous if any one (man or woman) gets beaten up (unless of course someone picked a fight with me)

when somebody puts their safety on the line to keep us safe they deserve respect.

wow i didnt know this happened, hope she recovers well. poor lady

All the worst hidings I have had have ALL been from people with no formal training - and the very worst of them was from a scrawny little prick.

Some people are natural fighters - others have mass on their side - and while skill levels help - generally the bigger guy will always win. And I would say that almost every woman - trained or not will lose to a guy who is physically bigger and stronger 100% of the time.

worst ass kickin i ever took was from a 5'3" Phillipino guy..id hit him once.. he'd hit me 7 times..

[SARGE]

If someone is so much larger than you, don't you think adhering to training that probably includes advice along the lines of "If you don't think you can handle them, don't take them on directly/without backup" is probably wise?

i was always taught that the only "dirty" fight is the one you lose..


go for the soft tissue.. thumbs in the eyes.. nutsack..im sure the press would go easy on her after hearing the Code 99 tape

[Genestho]

Great, the ones who protect us are not safe either (not a new thing though is it?)

I agree with Jrandoms post here, what is the training format?

Quite "funny" I remember taking part in forums and yarns round the kitchen table just like these before Leon was killed, discussing the latest incidents of violence and death, even debating, whether or not violent crime was on the increase, or whether it was media hype.. and "you" have all these hypothetical opinions and ideas, and then it happens in "your" own world.

I feel we have bred something inhumane out there...both politically, and in our homes. Many many people are suffering the consequences.

My opinion is let the cops be armed, stop this pc crap!!

Im very sorry for the family whose young son was killed by police who were trying to protect our community, its a terrible tragedy, and I dont know all the facts, but Im glad they were trying.

"Cops let madman drive for miles - kills ____ (insert number)" is that a better headline?
Theyre damned if they do, damned if they dont.

Maybe its my exposure to people Ive met afflicted by violent crime and murder..but..
I feel it quite beyond obvious that we need the resources and training, and we do need protecting..

See you all at the next episode of crime and its minimal consequences in NZ, maybe tomorrow

Of course it is totaly unnaceptable for anyone to get beaten. There are plenty of recent examples of beatings of men, women, teenage girls, babies, tourists etc..... that are just as scandalous.

However an on duty Police Officer represents all of society and it's laws while on duty. The fact that the shitbag felt so empowerd to commit such an act demonstrates total contempt for the legal system and any future repurcussions for their actions.

The police officers gender shouldn't be an issue here, even a 'big tough' male cop could find himself in a similar situation if it becomes the accepted norm for criminals to bash their way out of arrest. Good back up, team policing, appropriate weaponry and very harsh penalties for offenders that do so are perhaps a way to stop this.

[scumdog]

Yep, cops need more training.

To shoot accurately
To drive like an expert
To deal with domestics instantly
To catch drunk drivers
To issue accurate tickets
To use unarmed combat techniques effectively
To out-run crims
To attend burglaries promptly and detect ALL evidence
To handle complaints of everybody without delay and to their satisfaction
Yadda
Yadda
Yadda
And have 20-20 foresight for every situation

SO when will they get time to deal with crime??????

the kid had it lucky.i know from first hand experience when i fight i always take of my shirt or t shirt so that way the person youre scrapping cant be a little bicth and grab on to your tshirt and pull it over you.and then tackle you.not that im giving the kid credit but he was naked so the officer couldnt grab on to him.

yup.. and while you are taking your shirt off.. im pounding on it till it turns red..


i dont think ive read the "Fair Fighting Rulebook"


im too old and fat to wrestle with some amped up 16 year old so im gonna make it a very quick fight..


cant stand.. fight is over..

cant breath..fight's over

cant see...


dislocate or break a shoulder or knee,, gouge eyes..snap a rib..amped or not hes gonna be alot less mobile

i dont need to grab onto someones clothes.. im going for joints and soft tissue and trying my hardest to cripple the shitbag in a big blue-green hurry (yea.. i know ..PC..when its "HIm or Me"..im going to be the one going home for dinner

sorry man.. i dont mean to sound harsh... youre young..pulling that "taking my shirt off " bullshit is gonna get you stomped into goo one of these days..

[SARGE]

Yeah right and you have been in one of our countrys Mamby Pamby BULLSHIT hotels that they call prisions....

They are real Jails you Freckin Noob.....

Crazy Steve.
