Because the Filty Few are low life criminal scum, (as are other gangs) no matter where they are what they are doing.

Its a sad day indeed and a terrible attack on our civil liberties when cops start taking an interest in and even dare interfere with organised criminal groups.

Dunno why they can't just leave gangs alone, its not like they do anything wrong or anything?

Hopefully you dashed over and told them the guy with tats was o.k?

Or did you just stand there steaming inwardly and cursing the cops for not knowing?

I couldn't at first, I was watching the ones hanging around the stock. By the time they moved the cop had finished.

Especially that Ulysses gang. Real trouble makers, them. Seen some of them hanging around AMPs too. Watch out for them Mr Giradin, if y'see any of them , call the cops, fast. Those big GoldWings and Harleys they ride, they could have a whole clan lab in the saddlebags. Each!

The parallels with your own line of work are quite notable, with the problems of the public perception of the mental health system being well known.

The public health system as a whole, works within an ever thinly-stretched financial budget, and the patients are simply "re-prioritised" to suit the budget available. The surgical waiting lists get long and longer - the solution - reprioritise and remove people from the list - problem solved!

The mental health system is no different, with the number of psychiatric beds adjusted to suit a budget, and the patients "re-classified" to suit the facilities available.

The result - many mentally ill people, without the necessary life skills to care for themselves, simply dumped in the community, with little or no support.

And who ends up dealing with these people, when their social inadequacies become a problem? - The Police.

But hey - that's not your fault. You don't set the financial goals, and adjust your services to suit. You simply get on with your job, which is to provide the best level of care that you can.

I have a great deal of respect for those who work with the mentally ill, while having concern about the faceless bureauocracy that decides on the level of service provided.

I also have respect for front-line police officers - so should you.

Although I might not know it all about the N.Z. Police you show us that you know less about the MHS...
Thats OK, carry on.
