haha radio live are one of the few decent media outlets in NZ, and by far the furthest to the left

Goodness, here's me not even wearing my wifebeater.

Though I'll have to disagree with you on the merits of Radio Live. Plunkett, Garner, and the double team of Ali Mau and Willie Jackson don't strike me as the heavyweights of leftwing journalism, but to each their own.

Suspect if you heard Mary Wilson running in top gear you'd poo poo your pants.

I think it's pretty hilarious that they're nailing him on the iphone rather than the multiple weapons.

I don't really see any harm in distributing, say, an ipod that was marked for destruction after not being claimed in lost and found, but thinking you have the authority to nick things from court cases and having a sustained history of stealing from your workplace should be a red flag on the kind of service you've provided for 40 years.

I dont know, according to the judge that was a fairly harsh sentence. He did take into account that this guy was a 60yo police officer and not some "youngster".

The judge probably considered that him losing his job would be part of his punishment.

Yeah instead of the mistakes of youth he had 60 years of life and 40 of being a cop to know right from wrong.

Yeah that was the judge's point I think. I didn't read it as meaning that worked in his favour

At first I thought it had worked in his favour, but the judge made that statement in response to the cop's lawyer asking basically for special consideration because he was a 60yo cop.

I remember having a loving conversation with an American libertarian about 10 years ago about that. Said that police hamper all Liberty and the only true way to be free is to let the unregulated market take its course. Police is also a market.

I'm ok with contracting out police and judicial services in Auckland to a variety of DROs, the ensuing collection of warring fiefdoms that would arise in the Supercity would make for excellent episodes of (Private) Police 10/7.

Manurewa police officers were involved in a shoot-out with Trans-Pukekohe-Region officers in a border dispute, killing eight, early this morning. The skirmish erupted when a man was seen urinating on a stop sign In Drury early last night. Both providers despatched officers to investigate...

..Bystanders report a brief altercation followed by several rapid gunshots; by 9:30 additional police cars arrived at the scene, resulting in a brief battle with small arms. Some witnesses state grenade reports were heard. By dawn a tense four-hour stand-off...

...Trans-Pukekohe police head-office public relations officer stated 'We do not know what caused the incident last night but we are investigating with all our resources. At this stage all we can confirm is that four officers have been killed and their families notified by text message. Our investigation is proceeding right at this moment.' Manurewa police head office could not be reached for comment.

...Twitter followers have been quick to condemn the violence. One twitter user said 'rewahard @NZstuff Its not cool eh they shud leave that for the rugby field.' Others echoed this sentiment...
