The Police don't have a fucking anger problem okay cock?
Ummmmmmmm, I don't want to make the nice Policeman angry, buuuuuuut...
Three cops on assault counts
Three police officers are facing charges over allegations of assaults done on duty, including one "renegade" cop accused of attacks on five people in as many months. The alleged attacks took place between October last year and January this year in Auckland's Waitemata policing district.
One alleged victim has called for an inquiry into police brutality after being injured so badly in a police station cell he lost a testicle.
Wow - he kicked him so hard he blew out a ball! Now that's getting better work stories. Here's my favourite bit about the story...
The officer refused to speak to the Herald on Sunday. A supporter told the newspaper outside court: "Your sources that tell you things better watch out."
...sigh! Don't you love it? Threatening news sources, it's just so cop isn't it? Remember the last critical news story where the Police Department demanded to know why a positive pro police message wasn't being spun? It's like a Police-God syndrome.
Is there a culture of violence within the Police force? Well, that's all relative isn't it? Are our cops as brutal as military Police in a third world dictatorship? No, no they're not, they're much more annoying that that. Look our cops are a bit thuggish, you know it, they know it, we all bloody know it.
Rules are
1: Be polite.
2: Get away from them at the soonest possible moment because the Police man is not your friend.
3: I'm sure they're nice people, I just don't want them teaching my children.
Now in the bad old days when the Independent Police Complaints Authority was cops investigating cops, you knew you were screwed if you got the bash because there was no way a cop investigating a cop was EVER going to produce a ruling that wouldn't attract criticism of bias. These days we have a Complaints process that is funded to independently investigate 30% of complaints PLUS they have the scope to review any big case that gets into the media, so if you get bashed, you have to set up a facebook site immediately and attract media attention if you want to guarantee an independent review of your complaint.
Hey, it's not perfect, but neither are our Police.

Good rules for dealing with the police.
The less contact one has with them and crims the better.
You have nothing to fear from the police if you're pakeha, 40+, and dressed in corporate wear. I wonder who our society protects?

@Mr.B.S.
Just the corporate wear wearers are protcted.
Leave out the middle-aged white men fallacy and you're on the money.
Not a lot has changed in 5000yrs of civilization man. Try for a broader perspective.
Mr. Anonymous,
I take you point but fail to see what you're contributing to the debate.
