Thread: NZ Police has chilling problem: they're Killing, More and More

Couldn't disagree more with the MSM article. Almost all of the quoted shootings - with the notable exception of the courier driver, which I've discussed already - appear to me to be justified.

I've had a few dealings with NZP and in my experience, I've found them to be polite, tolerant and all round treated me respectfully. In South Africa, the approach is a bit more belligerent, delivered with absolute clarity.

To me the two police approaches speak volumes of the state of society. One is based on a legitimate fear that the member's life is routinely in danger and use of deadly force is commonplace. The other, the opposite is true and the use of deadly force is uncommon and great restraint is used until it becomes clear that no viable alternative exists.

My SAfer mate watches the NZ cop programmes there and he couldn't believe the abuse and shenanigans the NZ cops put up with. He said the very least you'd get there is a beating and possibly a bullet for doing the same
