Exactly my point i raise my chidren the same, no jerk polotician is going to tell me i cant smack my children, they need to be taught respect and if a smack around the back side is what they need thats what they will get but never in anger
As for Rangipo my old man was a carpenter instructor there for about nine years it was like a holiday camp with three square meal a day and free board one guy choosing to go back by throwing a brick through a shop window and waiting for the police after being let out three days before christmas, he just wanted his christmas dinner
The problem is it is getting worse with the crimes becoming more violent and more people dying

It just ain't right!

They dropped all sorts of things to get their numbers up... height requirements - hence the pigmy 18 year olds they have now, intelligence (tests easier), fitness (easier for people too lasy to pull finger and get fit enough), criminal histories (some minor convictions allowed), the list goes on. All confidence building stuff for us public.

Maybe the cop should have worn a helmet himself..!

I'm off the front line now so my chances of being dealt to like that have significantly been reduced.

However, my last 8 months were spent on a two person section partnered up with a hobit like cop. I have no complaints as to their competency except for when you find yourself in a scrap.

There were a number of incidents that I dealt with over this time that could have gone either way simply because of my partners lack of physical abilities. Thankfully we were able to resolve all of those incidents without any injury to ourselves, but it could have very easily resulted in one or both of us being seriously hurt.

When there is just two of you and the nearest backup is 15 - 40 minutes away, (depending on where abouts in our area we were), you're wrestling with a huge, drunk, agro offender you need to know that your work mate is physically able to get the job done.

I don't have a problem with cops of small stature, I'd prefer it if every cop was 6 foot plus but in the current environment we have to do the best we can with what we get.

This just highlights further why cops today need tools like tazers, especially in rural areas where you often find yourself attending violent incidents on your own with no back up close by.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Labour supporter...... But that is Sue Bradford's brainchild, and its still just a bill at this stage, not yet passed into law.

What would a rampant rug muncher like Sue Bradford know about raising kids in NZ?? When I was in college we used to get the shit kicked out of us kept us in line though a bit of fear is a healthy thing Kids today got no respect !!
This spotty little cunt down the road from my place was busy kicking a soccer ball into the front of my hilux when i rode up the drive,I jumped off the bike and grabbed the little fuck and asked him what he thought he was up to!! The reply was you cant touch me I'm 15 and you'll go to jail so I took him down to his old man and abused the fuck out of him I could hear the kid crying like a bitch as I walked back up the road I could'nt touch him but his old man could!!

Well I work with one of those '5 foot nothing' cops, he's as old as I am and the criminal fraternity are flat out scared of the little guy - he can (and has) flattened anybody who gives him a 'go', armed with pipe/knife or whatever.

But otherwise he's just a mild-mannered '5 foot nothing' amd I'm o.k. with him - it IS right.

The scariest cops I have ever met are asian.

They are so short, the barrel of the M16 they carry drags on the ground.

Unless its pointed at your head.

**toycollector10** · 16th February 2007, 09:18

The pr*ck was on a stolen bike. If it had been your stolen bike you would be b*tching that A) the cops didin't turn up or B) they did but the guy was only 5 foot 2 and he took a pounding.

I had a bike stolen years ago. Recovered it myself and used a bit of agro in the process. Cops found out and I was lucky not to be arrested, but that's another story. Whakatane, 1976.

Can't "discriminate" on height... but I know a few "pygmies" that can flatten the biggest mofo...

The rest is spot on... lowered standards

Gee mate, you really don't know who your politicians are do you?

Sue Bradford is and has been married to the same guy for years.
They used to live out west Auckland.
Sue was one of a few who help set up the "People's Centre" in Auckland city to help those in need. Be it with lawyer help or advise as long as you were on a lower income you fitted the bill to get help from them. They also had dentist, hairdressers or sorts of business that would offer very low or free service.

Sue also has children, one of whom, tradgically took his own life a few years ago, as he suffered with mental illness.

Sue Bradford a member of the GREEN party is the one who introduced the 'No smacking Bill'

Hope that clarifies a few things up for you.
