    Quite clear if you know how an AR15 works.
    Nope, she's flailing about with not a single clue. Left hand holding the handguard, right hand flapping around the ejection port. She has absolutely no business touching that rifle.

    About the 6 min 45 mark is the bit in question.

    I f you look up the oath( it is online apparently) that they ALL took at the police college and kept it in mind when you're being confronted/interviewed by them, you could politely remind the obnoxious type of the oath that he/she swore to uphold!!!! Sort of levels the playing field a bit!!!!

    @systolic wouldn't it be courtesy to atleast introduce yourself first before poking for your 1st & 2nd post?

    She was doing the two physical and two visual checks of the magazine well and chamber, as she was trained to.

    It's amazing how people can form such strong opinions over a persons handling of a firearm from a two second clip. I assume such people don't know the Police TOETS for the M4.

    Send it to Minister Collins, maybe she should start there!!
    I was filming an armed bank robbery aftermath in CHCH a few years ago and on clearing her Glock the Police woman was so nervous she actually accidentally undid the leg holster and dropped the whole lot on the ground.
    There was an outcry about them all holding firearms licenses a few years ago but that seems to have died.
    Do they or are they exempt?
    They readily admit they don't have enough training themselves and some actually hate firearms and are not comfortable with them, yet they are turned out armed to incidents. Their fault?

    Police are exempt from having to have firearms licences during duty (obviously)

    Whilst it looks funny, I guess if that's what you're told to do to clear it then that's what you do, isn't it?

    Possibly correct action, but visually poor form. And, allowed the outfit's training level to be called into question leading me back to my statement No1. So, final score = FAIL.
    "if you look like you know what you are doing then you obviously do". Really? Where do I begin on such a dumb post. If it's safe and functional then who gives a f^%k how it looks.

    "possibly correct action" that part says it all, you don't know what she's doing, either because you haven't seen a long enough clip or you don't know the action yourself and don't know what you're looking at. Do you know what the Police TOETS are?

    now thats criminal having access to weapons we cant except under the strictest controls and security.
    and what they dont even have to past the golden rules or written test???
