i reckon we need to get the PAS posse to try outstep the anti-looter posse over at KB.
if we put Craig in the front we can probably take 'em.

There was no investigation.
or the time a melbourne guy was shot resisting arrest.
questions were raised about his being handcuffed, kneeling, and head-down at the time.
these questions were of course dismissed.

assuming it was an aussie cop, here’s an indication of what they can be like.
in melbourne, a friend’s girlfriend gave a flatmate a dressing down (long story, no-one was in the right). the flatmate phoned his dad, a 20-year NSW policeman, who drove down from sydney, smashed his way through a locked door and assaulted my friend. he made demands to “go get the bitch so we can sort her out” (she’d bolted when the cop broke into the house).
this included threats to “put him in a hole in the ground”, and “throw him in the slammer to be raped” when friend wouldn’t go find her.
melbourne police refused to press charges, dismissing the incident and my friend’s testimony as “unlikely”. they also destroyed all records.
here’s hoping none of these guys were sworn here, aeh?

Foreign police officers have left their families to volunteer to come to Christchurch to support.
OIC. Aussie police. that makes all the sense in the world.
personal experience tell me those people actually are thugs.

It appears that, still, no one has had the nerve to ask who beat him.
please god, let it be Collins herself.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Danyl Mclauchlan,
the threat of violence etc appears to be frightening to people who are unlikely to commit crimes
i think you mean unlikely to violent crimes. other crimes are still committed, because the punishment for them tends to be in soft prisons or home detention.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Whatever else happens from this case I want the police told in no uncertain terms that displaying untried people (Innocent until proven) for public humiliation is not acceptable.
good luck with that. their intention looks to have been to discourage more looters by making an example.
they'll be arguing very hard that their means justified and end -> limiting looting.
