However I see no one is questioning the medias trolling of social media for stories and how they can pass it off as truth and get away with it.

Is it?

An off-duty West Coast policeman seen out hunting last weekend — days after the country moved into the Covid-19 level 4 lockdown and a national warning for hunters to stay home — has been given a ticking off by his boss.

"The staff member in question has been spoken to and reminded of our expectations in regards to adhering to those restrictions."

It was later revealed the man, who was also seen putting a deer into the boot of his car, was off-duty police officer Neil Gillespie.

So the guy isnt real, the event didnt happen, and his boss lied when she said she has spoken to the staff member in question?

Sorry, I dont know where your other thread is (at this time).

Either I mucked up or you didnt read my post right. Never said it didnt happen.
As I stated "regarding the incident."

But all articles I have read are full of blatant lies and inaccuracies and its probably to be expected, seeing their source is from a compalaint that someone who's hunting spot he was in, had made on facebook.
Flame away if it appeases anyone. There are extenuating circumstances that could have had anyone of us in the same boat.

Maybe I read you wrong, I took it from "The media has printed genuine lies regarding the incident.". that as it was lies, it didnt happen.

But now you are saying that you never said that it didnt happen.

So yes, I misread you and am confused. So what parts of it are lies, there doesnt seem to be much to the story, but maybe Im missing something.

There is no photograph at all for one ( I can see the original facebook post and comments). The only evidence provided is the word of a person the media has chosen not to name. It's obvious the article is designed to incite anger toward the police.

There's a bunch of people on here complaining about the goverment being authoritarian or communists and yet being OK with publicly naming and shaming someone without a scrap of actual evidence.

The irony is that the police have used discretion and said they were giving people warnings if caught, not naming them on nation wide media.
