NZ Police Darwin award
What an idiot. Don't worry it didn't hit the plane. No harm done, so hush-hush.
I heard the discussion. Dick Griffin thought is was hilarious. The discussion was around diplomatic protection and John Key's new posse of body guards. Let's hope, and he must trust, that they aren't all like that version of Frank Spencer.

Whenever I read a story such as that I remember this one.
“Immediately after the 1999 election Labour initiated a Select Committee inquiry, designed to destroy Jenny Shipley’s credibility.
I learnt much from sitting on that enquiry. Once it was clear that Mrs Shipley was not implicated it became my first experience of Parliamentary bi-partisanship, as the committee grew increasingly appalled at the untrustworthiness of Police witnesses. No MP on that committee was unaffected. Most shattering was the simple stupidity at senior levels, in sticking to incredible denials in the face of overwhelming evidence, including video footage.
The committee had no desire to destroy public confidence in Police integrity. We noted our unhappiness with their evidence and focussed the report on protocols for preserving constitutional propriety. It appears from reports of the Wang affair that Police agreement on those might have been as unreliable as their evidence to the committee.”
@ Jack, sadly that is what happens when you recruit from the lowest IQ cohort in the country, then pay them so much that most don't care. Am I talking about cops or politicians - both, really.
The greatest political scandal in NZ - apart from capitalism itself - is the dishonesty inherent in the cops.
How many commissioners of police have retired after scandals now?
i was gonna be a cop once, but i decided to finish primary school instead.
