police getting tazers , i'm getting a gun

[Patrick]

Everyone says oooo cops shouldn't have to deal with people getting agro at them etc etc etc. It's in the bloody job description. If you don't like it then find another job only ambo's and firemen etc can have this argument.

Umm... NO?!?? If we don't like it, we react to it. Who else is going to sort it then if we all up and leave???? You???????????????????????????

Joining the army, going to war maybe, and getting shot perhaps is in that job description.

"Give em more tools to do the job..." they say.

So they give Tazers since Pepper spray doesn't work (shit... we knew that when it was introduced and some of the trialists wiped it away like water...took a dose in the mouth and in one eye and it wasn't too bad...tasted like shite though - poor quality alcohol, me thinks...) and the bleeding hearts cry foul.

If shootings by Police weren't so rare, would there be any argument about Tazers?

IT IS PART OF OUR LIFE MORON , YOU SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO HASNT BEEN FUCKED OVER BY THE POLICE YET, YOU SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO HASNT STOOD IN COURT AND WATCHED THE PIGS LIE AND LIE THEN LIE SOMEMORE TO COVER THOSE LIES, IF THREAD DOESNT INTREST YOU THEN DONT READ IT AND DEFINATLY DONT POST IN IT

Never fucked anyone over, never lied, never "needed" to.

Were you the Defendant and knew all the facts or was it a mate who fed you a line on his watered down version of events and the reality was somewhat the opposite (as in what the Police said)??

Suggestion: Don't put yourself in the situation where you end up in court?

JUST CAUSE ITS NOT CAUGHT ON FILM DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT HAPENING , SECOND CASE WAS ON THE RAILWAY TRACKS AT MORNINGSIDE AUCKLAND A HANDCUFFED GUY GOT PEPPER SPRAYED HE WAS ON THE GROUND AT THE TIME

So... because he was handcuffed, he can't kick, bite, headbutt, spit hepatitis C,...whatever...

[Patrick]

It's so typical of NZ, that when the US Justice Dept is investigating Tazer use, our Police force 'trials' them with no public consultation.
We are a Police State.

Nah... as with everything,we are 20 years behind in technology... in 20 years time they will "investigate" them.

So pigs like Dyna, who is 23 and clearly below average intelligence, are going to use their "years" of experience and "training" to ascertain when they are at threat?

Or will they be all gung ho, like little boys that get a hard on for guns tend to be, and go around tazing people indescriminately?

Not to mention that the thing will be locked in a box in the patrol car..............next to the radar gun and ticket book.

D50 learned early. 21 years now and I know he speaks the truth. You get your experience in the first week of street work. It is amazing how a smack in the head for no reason makes you more aware of what is pending...

Do the Tazer electrodes get cleaned after each use?
Can you get Hepatitis or AIDS transmitted?

Shouldn't they be cleaned before use?

That's where the law suits will start.

Now there is an idea... all those Zimbabweans with aids can be Tazered as part of their application to enter NZ, don't clean the prongs, now... anyone wanna confront a Tazered up copper???

Wow - seven posts in a row - maybe more coming if I refresh the page?

dude calm down - sounds like you're the one with the guns, the holdens, the tazers, the batons, the judges on your side....I'm an innocent civilian and I'm the one that feels threatened...by you.

But at least I'll respect others to have their say between my posts.

chill

Brian Rowe, an ex-cop turned private investigator, has said the same thing. The nature of Police culture means they will not admit they're wrong until long after they're pinned to the wall.
Of course, they think he's a traitor now. He's exposing shoddy investigative work in many of their high profile cases.

Yet if it was so bad, what did he do to rectify it? He was Assistant Commissioner, was he not?

Shoddy work that he could have stepped in to to ensure all was good?

Disgruntled ex member rings a familiar tune...

[Patrick]

Just a thought. So now the cops have to carry; Baton, Cuffs, Pepper Spray, Radio, Cute little detectives pad, Really big ticket book, torch and now a Bro zapper?

Inspector Gadget?

Edit: My mention of Bro zapper is not rasict. That hideous maori politician said that maori were the most likely to be zapped.

You forgot personal medical protection kit and body armour.

Wow Patrick - you just proved Lou's point! Look at all the banter you're spouting just to back your mates up!

again I say chill, chill and thrice chill.

C'mon poor sods like me have got no one that protects us from the crims - no one that protects us from the police and we're getting punished for minor auto infringements all the time. What are we supposed to think?

Just reading the comments and replying as I moved along...it's been a good read. Had been missing this one all along and only found it today!!!!

Many posts ignored, some deserving of a comment, coz I had nothing better to do. Yep a Holden and a baton. Pulled a gun once in 21 years on an armed offender. No Tazer. Judges on my side???? Pffttt.

Don't know why you feel threatened by little old me. I like beer... and donuts...

Lou made a point, I disagree, thats all. Others made a point, I had a comment to make, thats all... thats what this is all about on here, is it not?

Backing my mates up? Yep, absolutely, ain't that what mates do??

Lie for them?? NEVER!!!!

Chill...? Jeez... any more chilled the heart will stop.
