I feel that 95% of cops are there because they have a genuine belief that they are there to help others, and do this to the best of their ability. Sometime their job training works and sometimes their other or emotional training takes over. Case . I ask my son when you come to a MVA (motor vehicle accident) what do you do? His reply dad I'm a Volly fire fighter first I get in and try and save lives. This is exactly the same background as my daughter (initial police training now) who helped me in a Hely winch rescue on Tuesday. These people 95% should be able to decide when and where they will wear and if need be use there tools of their trade as it were.
The other 5% are there for job security or ego's . It is not up to us armchair experts to decide how our police should protect themselves and others when that moment comes. The Police will always be up to scrutiny from the public and I take my hat off to them, NZ Police do a fantastic job in this country and are worthy of your support. Step into their shoes sometimes.
