That's a knee slapper
No surprises there tho is there.
It's good to see that all those meant to be upholding the 'rules' seem to be MORE than happy to fuck the 'rules', David Clark and now a dibble. FFSQuote:

What’s even better is, he is off work injured and yet is able to go out hunting. Go figure
I don't see how Stuff can post a story like that based on someone's Facebook post? There is no evidence provided other than that person's word that the officer was hunting. People are turning on each other. Maybe the same people complaining about democracy in our country at the moment....
I shouted 'WHAT!' at my screen when I read that too. maybe it was just a mental injury from not having a safe space to retreat to after being called to the scene of a crime that upset him.Quote:

I generally have a lot of respect for the police here but I am starting to wonder...
The ODTA article states the cop was seen loading a deer on to his vehicle and he has since been spoken to by his superiors. If it hadn’t happened I’m sure the boss cop would have refuted the allegation.

I posted about this in another thread. Put the pitchforks away guys. The media has printed genuine lies regarding the incident.
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.

Seen by who? An unnamed West Coast resident. How do any of us know that unnamed person is a reliable source of information without providing actual evidence? We don't. That could be anyone with a grudge against police. It's a small town, not hard to know who's plates those are. I could ring up Stuff and tell them anything I want if I had your number plates.
Do you see my point? This is witch hunting. It may or may not be true but that's a bullshit article with a motive...
Agree with the general sentiment of the thread but the bit making light of mental trauma/PTSD etc isn’t cool. There’s plenty of health professionals/military/emergency services etc who suffer from these unseen injuries as a result of their jobs. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.Quote:

Once again too many accept what they read in the general media as ‘gospel’.
The same media that get their ‘facts’ from Facebook and other icons of factual information.
I think the police position was that it wasn't to be done, but after it was pointed out that this was unenforceable, they gave it actual teethQuote:

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?Quote:
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.
Sorry, I dont know where your other thread is (at this time).
Hunting should be banned on the West Coast anyway.
The cop for doing it and the nark for sobbing him in.
Either I mucked up or you didnt read my post right. Never said it didnt happen.Quote:

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.

I also do not agree with blaming their reportage BS on Social Media sites etc (not @R93 stating such)
They (main stream Media) use social media when its convenient to blame conspiracy etc or that those groups are more guilty of spreading "Fake News" etc
Its manufactured by MS Media for a reason
Political gain
Click bait - for profit
Control of the masses
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
This is not directed at anyone in particular but I can see there is no point in trying to elaborate on this. I will leave the poor bugger to be flamed by people that believe the media as gospel.
Yes he made a mistake and went hunting. There are heaps of lies by the media regarding the incident and imo only to fan flames on it. Its obvious.
But as I said, regarding the circumstances, if shoe was on the other foot it would/could have likely happened to anyone in the same situation. Not just a cop.
I'll leave it there.

Fuck it. I'm running for mayor and soon after that I will be President of Westlandstan.

That's a fair point and inline with medias need to general clickbait drivel but it seems to go against Stuff's narrative by pinning it on a cop, it would have been more like them to pin it on a common variety 'gun nut'.Quote:

@R93 I hear what your saying about mistruths and the media spinning fiction.
I was involved in a SAR operation where a guy overdosed on cancer meds and headed up into the hills to die, left a suicide note and all behind. We found him in a bad way, got him flown out of the terrain where the next day in the paper the media reported the situation as a lost tramper who got recovered!
So you can imagine what people were thinking when they read that article about the 'lost tramper'
Media here wont report a suicide or attempted where the involved may be identified as a suicide or attempted suicide, As much as I dislike the inaccuratte reporting in this country in this case I think it is justified.Quote:
