1. Really impressed with the amount of training that police receive, regarding use of lethal force.
With recent events in other cities/States, of officers using 'lethal force' in questionable circumstances, how do you personally view these incidents.
2. Social media has a lot to do with the reaction of certain members of communities, where these unfortunate happenings occurred.
Does this place duty officers under additional, unnecessary pressure?
3. There has been an increase in the size of 'under class' of most Western societies.
Do you see an increase in crime, due to folks financial situations, turning to crime as they are unable to access employment due to lack of education, opportunity for 'on the job' training, cultural mores/behaviours and (putting it bluntly) racial discrimination?
4. Despite our egalitarian society in NZ, our society is showing increasing signs of heading in the same direction outlined above, in question 3.
Cheers

I think the egalitarian train left the station ages ago.

Beatiful imagery there. Though I've never watched special olympics gymnastics, for all I know they might actually be quite good.

Id like to hear from the guy who posted it...

Was not aware that NZ has a "homogenous community".

Sheesh when you guys put in these big words it just forces us fellas to help those who might not understand

I like the little J frame S&Ws the centenialls , fired one of the then new ones back in 91 , very nice wee gun , good for weak side , jacket pocket carry , shot thru the jacket if needed .
Also shot one of the SS PPKs , nice , in my limited shooting with pistols , I have had more drama with modern revolvers , than modern autos .
If the ejector rod unscrews just a little on a smith , it stops you opening the cyclinder .

I like Glocks & Sigs , and hate the beretta type 92s , mate had one of the new 92Fs , flawed design , when operating the slide , alot of people end up flicking down the combined decock / safety , which decluthes the trigger mech , under stress I have seen cops , think their pistol is malfunctioning , and do stoppage drills over & over , not realising that they have tripped the safety on by accident .
