Thread: Cop beaten and side arm taken.

Yes Wirehunt you are a long way off.

If OSH had anything to do with it then Police would never be able to do their job, like sending OSH inspectors over with our troops to a warzone.

Have you ever been in a close quarters fight with a person and had your adrenalin pumping then tested your accuracy with a heavy triggered Glock? Pretty harsh to slag off their marksmanship just because others can shoot a 50c piece at 100m at a range.

Do you know how much time goes into training a dog? And when working alone they can become a liability in group situations?

Really looking at the basic facts the officer would have been justified in shooting the people attacking him, but imagine the headlines today. I'm sure there is more to this story than we have been told.

One problem Savage, this is at police ranges without that pressure.

Where are you getting Police range score information from?

Arm the police with 12g shot toys and return the glocks to the manufacture, if a cop needs to use a firearm it should be deadly force, no wing shots, and with a pump action there is the ability to get more than one, even two at once. P or no P

We'll start with
"Dunedin is also revealed as the best place in New Zealand to pull off a bank robbery, after police admit that more than 25% of police who failed their firearms test were from the Southern region." from Ups and downs, but no worries | Otago Daily Times Online News : Otago, South Island, New Zealand & International News

It's been pretty well publicised Dougie.

That doesn't actually say how many there were. 25% of those that failed were from the Southern region, but that could be 1 of 4 nationwide. It's useless.

Oh, and ask them what their thoughts are about your 12g idea, their response might make a fun video to upload to YouTube....

I'd run from a pistol but not a shotgun

A good shot with a pistol will take you out at 60m. Buckshot will be hard pressed killing at that range and beyond. If the police need more money for more practice at the range then so be it. Make it happen politicians! It what we pay your useless arses for

IMO kiwi cops are brave az. I wouldnt like to face some massive dude and his mates on my own. Especially knowing the bleeding heart public are going to second guess me no matter what. So much for that new legislation that was brought in 2 years ago - the bit that said it was a criminal offense to not render assistance to an officer in need.

As for the OSH arguement. Aussie cops are some of the most law abiding cops in the world (these days). Never there when you need em 'cause they are controlled by OH&S as they call it. Tell em you're armed and going to sort the intruder out, then you'll see how close they really were all along!

Laughed my arse off at this. Thing's must have changed a hell of a lot....

There's the point Chris. The fucking beck should have left them in clink.

I'd like to see that. A good shot with a pistol will hit the barn door at 60 metres.

Probably all about training and experience

I must be the most frustrated man on earth according to my wife, got to say we need to change the rules for crims.
Hanging a few would be a start.

I have rope and although I have never understood why, my grandfather taught me how to tie a hangman's noose when I was a young fellah. Now that that has come to the front of my mind I must see if I still remember how.
