1166746 2011-01-03 16:30:00 All I ever seem to read in the papers these days is that some policeman or men were attacked or threatened by some guys with knives or machetes and they ran away.

That is embarassing and pathetic.

Howard Broad she be ashamed and resign.

And Crusher Collins needs to toughen up.

We can't have the police having to run away.

Who are we going to call then ?

The Army ?

Rambo ?

Saw a policeman carrying a pistol at the airport yesterday.

Just a small cop, so we could call it an equalizer.

Ran away? The first guy ended up in hospital after having his head cut up.

I'd run away if I was unarmed they had had machetes.

From at least 1986 that I know of, but worn out of sight so the passengers wouldn't get spooked. I think it was part of an ICAO convention that NZ provide armed police at international airports.
