757202 2009-03-17 18:17:00 Can someone ask Steven Wallace's mum to give up and pay us back for all the damage her son did - 80 shop windows and damage to police car and taxi etc.

Let alone all the legal aid she has probably had

757205 2009-03-17 19:36:00 I'd prefer the police weren't of the opinion they could murder someone for smashing windows with a golf club.

A weak man made a weak decision, he should be held accountable.

757207 2009-03-17 19:51:00 I don't like the police shooting people for bugger all reason, There were far better options available.

If he was hitting a person with his golf club then hell yes shoot him, However I can't correlate the act of smashing windows with being shot dead.

You and I certainly couldn't get away with killing someone for being a vandal.case in point the Aucklander who stabbed the kid in the heart, He was punished, very lightly punished but at the very least it sends a (weak) message that the people of NZ are not allowed to be running around murdering each other for petty crimes.

Is the world a better place if instead of a window smasher we have a murderer walking the steets?

If they get the green light to shoot people dead for petty crimes then where do you stop?, The police are not infallable and taken just a slighty bit further they could accuse of something, get upset that you argue, and shoot you dead.....

Whats next?, Shooting people over a speeding ticket?

Right. Indeed right, absolutely...........

Whatever happened to the traditional unarmed bobby who was trained to, or through experience, could talk a crim into handing his weapon over, like Dixon of Dock Green ? ( :) )

Where are the bobbies patrolling the streets, whose mere presence deters crime.?

When did you last see a bobby walking a beat or standing at an intersection keeping an eye on things ?

Are we going to end up like the US or even Venezuela where the cops will shoot if you dont stop when they indicate?

True, these days they would have tazered him rather than shoot.
He may have died from that too though :eek:
