Funnier things have happened. Remember the Waihopai trio got off burglary and wilfull damage by using the defence of "the greater good", which related to the belief that because of the activity of Waihopai, they themselves could damage the place to prevent human suffering.

That's kinda funny.

Isn't it ironic that it's the police who set up the mail order form system and Greg O'Connor is the pres of their union and he's on the radio yelling about how the system the police themselves made is inadequate?

HA

What's ironic about a union president having a go at the bosses about their policies or procedures.

I'm sure the police union members pay their subs for their union to do exactly that.

Perhaps you need to do some research about what a union is and does.

Police Union is not the same as Police Force.

You clearly have no understanding of what the Police Association is and their relationship to the NZ Police.

Yes, yes gents.

I understand, but my point is that he is publicly making the police as a whole look bad rather than going through the process not via the MSM.

The media doesnt really help here, Greg is quite often refereed to as a top cop etc instead of a union leader.
