    So people cant change the way things are?

    I didn't think what I said was unreasonable. But someone saying that no one can change anything, I think is wrong.

    Maybe how I said it was a little harsh, for which I apologise. It wasn't a personal attack, it was just using the comment.
    @Jexla Sorry for the post. Didn't mean it personally.

    To be fair Jexlas post was pretty stupid and did invite some harsh criticism, jim160's post may have been a bit harsh but jexla's next post came across as very arrogant.

    I always admit when I'm wrong, I take pride in it and it does happen often. With the amount of criticism you throw around jexla you should give it a try.

    F$@k, I'm just feeding this silly thread ��

    I disagree, the right person at the top will change it in a few months, it's the same as any corporate company with all its rules and regulations. Air New Zealand a great example how things can be made better. Fonterras still got a way to go, it needs a change at the top as well!

    What happens if the pregnant mum-to-be is carrying a puppy and works at a children's hospital? What happens if it goes through the child, through two pregnant mums and exits through a second child? What happens if it goes through the fence of a kindergarten and intercepts a conga line of four year olds head on, killing 12 of them? What happens if the bullet ricocheted off a childs head, into a gas station and through a gas tank, incinerating a buss load of school children from a nice neighborhood, three pregnant woman and some tourists from Europe or America?

    Agoraphobia?
    that would be some serious bad luck

    Its pretty clear what he's getting at. He just doesn't like Police. Might even go as far as to say "hate".
    When you get to that stage, facts don't mean a thing.
    I don't know how to do that small quote stuff, so a bit of cut and paste will have to do.

    I think reading between the lines of all this, yes the cops get a bad wrap. Why? well when you have dealt with them on other issues unfortunately the respect thing goes out the window. Now I'm only talking about when I've been the victim (have been on both sides but will leave that for another day), home invasion, theft, stolen goods, willful (spelling?) damage, etc,etc. Three times I can remember I ended up supply all the information to the cops ( I was the only one that wanted to do something about it apparently), which they ended up using to get the crim, so the crim could be told to go home and be a good boy!!!! on two of these issues I ended up feeling like the criminal. Then to top it off when you want a cop they aren't available because there's a funding shortage but there seems to be enough hiding behind the bushes in the school zones and trying to catch everyone out for any little item.
    When the road toll is down for a year the cops give themselves a big pat on the back, look at us this is because we patrolled the streets so hard with zero tolerance WTF haven't heard much this year how successful it was. How bad is cruising at 110km's down the road?
    Or you have the other end of it, fuckwits out on bail or worse still fuckwits that get some home D.
    Now Im not stupid, I know that the blame doesn't lie with the police that we meet every day, its so much higher up the chain and I'm not even going to mention the "car crusher"! But a lot off these cops have such a chip on there shoulder its unbelievable. so yes the majority of the good barstids (mind block) take the shit for it, no different from "all firearms users" are dangerous.
    Also I think where some of the digs are coming from is that Policemen (women) are meant to be this highly trained person, they are allowed firearms because they are highly skilled, they are allowed to be in high speed chases because they are highly skilled.
    Maybe some of the people that wear the uniform shouldn't take it so personally, its an industry just like everyone else has and there are people within that industry that make it harder for the good buggers.
    And no I wouldn't want to be a cop dealing with all those other pricks you have to deal with daily, I have to deal with enough of them as it is.

    You say its the Police fault for the poor punishment against the people that stole your shit. How about blaming the justice system and the judge. They pass sentence, not the Police.

    And is if the Police fault they don't have enough staff. How can they be blamed for not been given enough money for staff.

    Seems like you are blaming the wrong people.

    A little unfair to use them as a scapegoat. Yes there are some not so flash police, but majority are very good at their job.

    You should jump of your high horse and read the part where I blame the people higher up the ladder. But your coment reinforces the rest of what I was saying.

    Remember the mechanic who got fukt in Court because a universal joint he worked on went thru a windscreen and took a driver's head off? Responsibility is the call. This cop should go to jail. full stop.

    Well, the justice system said he was not guilty so he gets to go home. You can say what you want, but he had a fair trial, and was found not guilty.

    The mechanic would have had the same trial, and was found guilty. That is if he went to trial, I have no idea as I haven't heard about it. He may have pled guilty, so obviously he would have been convicted.

    Did the driver die as a result of his work, or was he injured. Im guessing he died, given you said it took his head off. Quite a difference between causing death and causing injury.
