Thread: Police Fire..... Bystander Safety?

So in the latest incident were the projectiles that went through a second story window and garage ricochets or miss place shots? Is that calibre and projectile actually suitable for this type of use?

A paint ball gun springs to mind with each cop in the team with different coloured balls making it easy to sort out the bad shots

Try reading what people actually said before having a rant, it will help you avoid looking stupid.

Instead of all the vitriolic right wing retardedness, why don't some of you consider what systolic is actually saying. Which is simply, cops can't accept half price/free shit without becoming compromised.

Don't get wrapped up with the messenger and instead, consider the message.

They aren't, they don't, they haven't for several years.

Typical of Systolic to turn a chat about whether police get some range time to be able to do critical parts of their jobs better (lifechanging shit), into a wank fest over whether they get a coffee at 4am for $2 instead of $3.50. @systolic, do you wish you'd joined civvie police instead?

Are those discounts given just because someone is a police officer, or are they offered to members of the police union, which you don't have to be a police officer to join?

Unite union members, for example, are eligible for an extensive range of discounts and benifits.

I looked and saw the NZ Nurses Organisation has a range of benifits and discounts too.

Sworn and non sworn members of police who are part of the Police Union are entitled to a variety of discounts from various retailers/businesses etc which are obtained while out of uniform by members presenting their police union membership at the time of purchase.

As mentioned before and to reiterate... Police do not receive half price maccas as this went out some years ago!
