After reading the
above, ask your-self the question, “Why should the police with-hold the name of
the person shot, could the real reason be because he was shot by a policeman or
woman?
Now let’s look at the
behaviour of the police after the first police contact with the very latest
victim of a POLICE shooting:
“Shortly afterward, a
rural police officer noticed a car parked at the side of the road with its
hazard lights on near Topuni on the Hibiscus Coast.
The officer pulled in behind the car,
but it quickly drove off, before stopping again.
The driver then got
out of his vehicle and came around to the driver's door of the police car,
"wielding a machete and threatening the officer", Penny said.
[Note the Police
never shot their victim at that point]
The man got back in
his car and headed south on State Highway 1 towards Puhoi, driving at speeds of
up to 150kmh, at times with its lights off, she said.
It was spiked near
Mahurangi West Rd about 3.50am.
"The first
officers got out of their patrol car and the driver from the other car came
towards them with a machete," Penny said.
"It is at this
point that police fired shots." But she didn’t say he attacked them [The
armed police…] why didn’t they [The Policemen] stay in their car? Did they
fully intend to shoot the person holding the machete? Did they plan this
reaction before they arrived at the scene where his car had been brought to a
halt? Did they set the spikes, did they discuss a strategy.
Do they [the police]
believe Garth McVicar’s [SST] rule of thumb? “Shoot the bastard, one less
prisoner to look after”, I’m sure that most policemen and women don’t buy into
McVicar’s crap, at least I hope so.
Now using the
standard police procedure, we are told that so as to help the victims family
come to grips with the fact that the Police shot and killed a member of their
family, all details as such [The deceased name, the names of the police
officers, or how many shots were fired. The type of weapons used…Now to put
this common police behaviour in to perspective in this day and age. The police
seem to be able to always delay releasing vital information while they create
some wriggle space to justify their [possibly incorrect or even illegal]
behaviour.
Read this report on
police shootings and its rapid growth here in NZ,
Is it not about time
we the public started to ask the hard questions about the rapid growth of
police shootings, the planting of evidence, and the wrongful prosecution of
individuals for crimes the police knew they did not commit. In the words of The
Daily Blog:
Another Police shooting…
Police said the man
approached officers with a weapon on State Highway 1, near Pohuehue.
They provided
immediate first aid but the man died at the scene from his injuries.
More information
would be provided at a news conference this afternoon, police said.
The Police
Association said its priority at this time was to look after its members.
…and the stock standard response:
·
Police did nothing
wrong
·
‘suspected weapon’
·
shooting victim had
it coming
·
Police demand to have
more guns
·
no comment until
after reports
·
media have lost
interest in story by then
·
untrained alpha
Police shoot another person
…repeat again and again and again. Welcome to NZ
Here are some
questions worthy of consideration:
Why are our police
looking more and more like Soldiers?
Why are we failing to
punish policemen who plant evidence, or who lie in courts, How come no
Policemen or women get found guilty of crimes against the public? Are all
police personnel saints?
Speaking of police
defending themselves…The Daily Blog published the following:
Remember the argument the NZ Police used to gain
access to Tasers? Its better someone gets tasered than get shot.
So as another
Police shooting occurs against a background
of Police shootings in NZ that are highly questionable, we are being asked
to accept that pre-warned Police chose to engage with a man who had a machete
without Tasers?
Do we have a trigger happy police force that uses noncompliance
as the threshold to use guns? I certainly believe we do.
These are trained Police Officers who have belt access
to tasers, the guns are locked in the boot. We are being asked to believe the
Police had the time to stop the car, open the boot, get out their gun and shoot
but didn’t have the time to reach for their belt and pull out their taser?
The alpha culture of the Police extends to a
subservience of the media, demanding answers to people being killed is not a
betrayal of society, it’s the obligation and responsibility of decent citizens.
