My point exactly - I'm trying to parody to you what we hear from officers.
There's no point really coz as police officers you are always right until the judge tells us we are right.
And so it continues *sigh*

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Well no, I wasn't there - was a about 1km down the road at the time she made the call, so can't be sure she made it 100% clear. Saw the chopper and heard the din when the 2 cops got beaten up though.
Taking the point about failure by an individual, I can dig that, however, she did actually go to the Police station and make a complaint as directed.
So again at least another individual screwed up by sending 2 unarmed cops to apprehend 2 people with guns. Not only did they have guns, but were obviously prepared to use them. I suspect however, the decision to send a single car and 2 cops was taken by more than one person at the police station.
Anyway, enough of this, my initial post started out as a troll, then you called me, now it's getting all serious.

I'm with the cops here, cops have to get there in a hurry sometimes, so they take risks. Those risks will occasionally kill/hurt someone. That is the price you pay for having a police force that actually makes a real attempt to respond to crime.
Having said that, there has to be a limit (200kmh through ponsonby road to a shoplifting would be unreasonable for eg) but in that respect our system is working here, he is going to have his day in court, and by the sounds of it, his defense can include sensible arguments like, it was priority one, slowed for the crossing, traffic was light etc etc.
The fact that this is not a case of 106 > 50 = Youre a baby killer, means there is hope for sense to prevail.

One thing that never fails to amuse me is how the cops (especially here on KB) stick up for each other relentlessly. Doesn't matter what the post is in regards to, they all flock like ducks to bread and stick up for their fellow kind.
Had said Policeman run down three children whilst travelling at 115kmph in this area, I have no doubt you lot would still claim he was in the right...

"What ifs..", "maybes..."
Maybe the sun will shine tomorrow. What if a UFO had landed nearby.
He DIDN'T run down kids, he DIDN'T wipe out an "innocent" family in a heinous crash.
He DID get to a serious situation as quickly and safely as he could.
Whats the f**kin problem?

Wow, that's fucking classic.
What if I go and get drunk off my face and then drive home...but DON'T crash or cause any problems on the road. I DID get home ok, and without having to pay $20 for a taxi...
Would you say "Whats the f**kin problem?" then?
The 'what if' or 'maybe' factor is what makes things wrong to start with. Not every drink driver or speeder kills/injures someone, but the 'what if' or 'maybe' factor is what makes them a problem.

Come warm yourself by the fire
Fuck it man, at least the cop was doing his job for once.
I hate it when people rubbish cops for helping you out.
Its not like he was trying to out drag boy racers or get home in time for dinner.

Haha I don't think anywhere here is showing signs of tall poppy syndrome, you might want to research that expression and it's meaning.
MOST people ragging on the cops in this thread are just fishing/trolling, nothing more.

Was I trolling...? How did I go? I didn't even realise... Huh???
Forum whore
I'm not going to pretend to know all the facts but the title of the thread implies that the officer was charged with 'dangerouse driving,' not speeding. Now I can understand the need to speed in an emergency but 'dangerouse driving' where the safety of the public is compromised. No one, but no one has that right............... for any reason.
Will be interesting to see what happens. Any bets that the Judge will find the officer guilty advise him to appeal and in all probability he/she will win the appeal. And in the mean time the apologists will rally behind the officer and make excuses for him/her. Deju vu??????

Yep, sure do... gotta stick together because when you get dumped on by the public, the media and even our own bosses, even when you try to get to injured kiddies quickly it would seem, who else is going to stick up for ya?One thing that never fails to amuse me is how the cops (especially here on KB) stick up for each other relentlessly.

Funny thing about this job is it doesn't take much to find out what really went on (facts), which is quite the opposite of what "stories" many want to believe... here in KB land too on occasions...
Gotta get there safely, as he did. He would be on his own trying to explain if he hit kiddies responding, but he didn't...

The 'facts' as gleamed by myself smell of a 'stitch-up' job.
But them everybody will say I'm biased.
(What do KBers say when I agree with the Joe Citizen point of view agaist Police? so far on each occassion it's been a fat nothing on the public forum but afew green reps and + comments were forwarded.)
Biased??
Sure we ALL are.
