Thread: oh shit

It's a bad incident, and hopefully all police shot will come out physically and mentally ok as well as the families of those wounded.

Not a good week to say the least
A trial going on for the bloke who "allegedly" shot innocent folk in Ashburton, the shooting near Dunedin and now this.

One can't help beginning to think about battening down the hatches in advance of the inevitable shit storm of trouble that will be directed toward legitimate sportsmen and women by the ignorant once this is over.

"We have asked the New Zealand Defence Force for assistance and they have provided one NH-90 tactical lift helicopter and three Light Armoured Vehicles (LAVs)."

Very "Cheap" of O'Connor to use this situation to push his own barrow.

Hope they deal appropriately with the shooter. You will never be able to trust such a person again in public.

I hooe they drive through the house with a couple of lavs

Can and has been done

Think that 4 AO squad members have been hit by shotgun pellets

No mention of rifles involved yet.

I wonder if they AOS returned fire. The guy was armed and apparently shot at a spotter plane so of cause he would shoot at police coming at him a few flash bangs lobbed in first but who knows what the police SOPs are.

He has the right to remain silent. Very silent!

Been to busy to see or hear news and this thread is the first I have heard of it.

Hope they have teargassed the place and shot him dead as he run out.

Harsh maybe but shoot at a cop imo you have given up the right to live.

Would imagine not, will be standing round with STG either there already or on their way, negotiations and what not through the night.

One offender and 4 LAVs a bit OTT??? what next drone attack

Yea you're right, they should probably just hide behind trees instead of trying to mitigate the risk of having more cops shot.

This is not the first time that our military have been involved in a citizen type situation.
I wasn't aware that NZ's military could be used in civilian type internal situations???? Can anyone clarify on the legality of this use????
It seems to be sneaking into our enforcement scenes & is a scenario from " Sleeping Dogs" movie which is a bit scary for the rest of us firearm owners if things generally turned to custard,eh???? AND: where did 4x LAV's suddenly turn up from???? It's a long way from Waiouru & it would need at least 2x Hercs if they didn't break down ( again!!)
