Hard News: Why did Stephen die?, in reply to Islander,
Annnd- it means a too large number of good ANZ citizens *dont* wholly trust our police force (tax-payer-paid for police force-)

Hard News: Why did Stephen die?, in reply to BenWilson,
Giving people shit that they can’t answer back to seems to be a perk for some of them
As well as positive experiences with ANZ police officers, the family has met some real doozies. Being much larger than normal seems to be a turn-on for aggro (my cousin who stands 6’8” and is a totally non-threatening born-again Christian*, who doesnt do drugs of any kind (including alcohol) has been forced to lie over the bonnet of his car several times.) Weird male power thing, I think-
*I am an atheist. So are all my immediate family(except for the ones who seem to think pyschics actually are anything except money-grubbing scurrilous ratbags =2 of my sibs-GAHK!) What my cuz believes is his buisness and- since he doesnt presume to promulgate his views within the whanau – we still love him.

Hard News: Why did Stephen die?, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Why is it the Police always make me feel angry. So much incompetence. They are a gang unto themselves. :(
As a family, we've had reason to be thankful for police intervention, paticularly when one family member was the subject of vile lying complaints after a marriage breakup.
But - there is a police culture which seems to amount to "it's us against the baddies, and the baddies include everyone who enjoys pot - or even seeks to provide it as a medicine for those in need of pain and/or nausea relief."
And - as in this very sad example of Stephen taking his own life upon perceived
police harassment - things rapidly turn to custard.I trust that - aside from other complaints that may be made - the coroner's court will have something to say-

Capture: BOTY Potty., in reply to Mike Dickison,
Kia ora Mick - info taken aboard.
I need to get consent of the land-owner (who is a cousin) before giving details.
He's 15years older than me, but still *very* protective of his farm, and what it harbours....
