Hi Foxy,

Some take the attitude that the police are there to protect them from harm, enforce the law etc, this is true for the majority of the time. If there should be the occasional unfortunate incident, well for the likes of runner that is a small price to pay for the security police afford them. Besides these incidents do not involve them.

"if you have lived with them" given your attitude to aboriginal people I very much doubt you have "lived with them" runner. Did you live in their house, next door, down the street where?

On the 'Drum' they are discussing the need for police to carry guns in isolated communities. Interesting.

actually as usual you bleat your ignorance Paul. I has 3 women beaten in my front yard in approx. 6 months period. They came looking for refuge from floggings they received. Not nice to have blood all over your front door. Very thankful that the police were able to come. You are obviously ignorant to what Police have to put up with although being from the Greens who seem to like to spit, scratch, scream and accuse firefighters of domestic violence maybe you just approve.

"On the 'Drum' they are discussing the need for police to carry guns in isolated communities. Interesting."

The Left whackos who infest The Drum should be sent off to isolated communities to live for a while - try their hands at a bit of policing without guns to protect their useless selves, the women and children.

Dear Paul,

My husband experienced a very distressful incident a
few years ago when he was working in an office
in St Kilda here in Melbourne. One morning he heard
what sounded like multiple gun-shots in the vacinity
of an adjacent medical centre car park. On inquiring
of people in the area it appeared that five police officers
shot a woman, and killed her,
because she had a knife.

There are surely many ways of disarming people especially
when there's five police officers against one woman (taser,
capsicum spray, nets, batons, or simply shooting in the leg
instead of killing). Everybody in the neighbourhood were
disgusted with the police action.

It appears the police were cleared of all charges.

Hi there RUNNER & TTBN...

I agree with most of your statements herein As you know, I've left the Forum, being too old to argue with those who know best. I'll tell you one thing. The moment you decide to make that fateful decision to 'clear leather' you're a mere 2 1/2 lbs away from making an irrevocable decision of your life & career!

It's the* Coroner* who determines culpability or otherwise, in all police shootings. I 'f..kin' know! I've been there! And I'll not allow that vile 'creature' who originated this Topic to remain unchallenged. I'll not confront him personally, as I know my abhorrence and revulsion for his cowardice, would get the better of my anger for him.

It's the Coroner who examines all the facts despite what IAD might determine, and they provide a brief of evidence on the matter. The Coroner has wide powers to compel witnesses to give their evidence. Moreover, many of the usual rules in evidence are set aside, including the hearsay rule.

All the Coroner wants to know, is who; what; when; and why. The truth. His role is to investigate all sudden and suspicious deaths and Fires. He has no power to try a crime.

Keep up the good work fellas, otherwise, the 'Left' will destroy this Nation forever.

O SUNG WO I respect you, true, but we have differing views also true
I Think you deserve credit and thanks for your service
But mate not all your views or companions
So it is you and I have a right to an opinion
Now YOU have told us in the long ago past about SOME POLICE
I had two serving Detectives in the NSW forces, one a sergeant, he told me much the same both uncles and mates
Bumper Farrell, his last months in the force brought us together, to talk about very bad acts of violence in Villawood, you may remember
Do you think the Detective Chief Inspector with our ICAC who wanted me to dob in police was wrong? *his words, it is only some Belly help us weed them out*
I refused to sign see some innocents may have been involved
Did give evidence to save the job of one of that category
This thread rightly, highlights a fear most have, police standards are slipping
Now redfern police academy, long gone do you remember that black and white photo on the wall, thug shot in laneway bullet holes in him
That made me walk out never became a cop but ask a few here I am known for supporting the good ones
You once asked me via GY to return to this site please remember every opinion has a right to be seen and no you do not have the right nore do I to damn others that way
