739545 2009-01-16 22:31:00 I see a woman has reported her son to the police in connection with the robbery and rape in Southland
Contrast this with a incident in the Manawatu a few days ago - An idiot teenage drivers cannot drive in a straight line on a straight piece of road and runs off the road into a tree - The occupants do a runner - the police arrive and are told the occupants have run off but still they search for 30 min in the dark and rain with the help of some locals - Later a girl friend of one of the occupants texts his father to tell him his son has not turned up - He doesn't inform the police of this but goes off to bed - Next morning at 9am he goes to the crash site and finds his son in a ditch on the other side of the road thankfully still alive
Who does he blame - the idiot driver - the boys mates for leaving him - himself for doing nothing knowing his son had not turned up
No it was the fault of the police and he wants the disciplined

739547 2009-01-17 01:19:00 So Mr OSH thinks it was the police to blame - Well Well Dally (6292)
739548 2009-01-17 01:56:00 To blame for what?

Not fulfilling their role to the level we should expect?

Then yes, what happens before that point has nothing to do with the policemen failing to do the job they are employed to do.

They missed someone who happened to be dieing on the side of the road. If the circumstances leading up to that person being there were different the end result would still have been the same.

They ****ed up big time, and should be held accountable.

Yes. The lady discussing it in todays local rag was also related to him.
In fact considering the population of Tuatapere probably half the town was and it wouldn't have taken long for loads of people to have known who did it.

739551 2009-01-17 03:36:00 My position is that the police should be held to the highest possible standard.

We can assume they have suitable training, experience, and systems in place,which indicates the police on the scene failed to pay attention to the job at hand, and someone could well have died from their failure.

Not good enough.

What's your position? Do you think whatever they do is fine no matter how poor the result? You don't think we should expect a high standard of work from our police force?

I'd love to hear the justification for such a serious failure. Well, one that wasn't all fluff and bull****. Its obvious the police did not do their job, and then lied about it.

Is that the sort of police work your advocating?

739552 2009-01-17 03:41:00 I guess this could be another trial by media. PressF1 is a media and all members can publish their opinions the same as TVNews reporters or Newspaper reporters unless of course you get banned by a moderator.

It may be time for some people here to give to the community they live in.
Keep an eye on them and help when you can.

Most (if not all people) are restricted by various Acts of Parliament however. No matter what laws are passed some people will just ignore in any event.

I have no idea whom Mr Cribb is BTW.

How do you know the Police lied in this case? You believe this because of various reports maybe.

I am so lucky I have never made a mistake in my life.
I used to be conceited but now I am perfect.

I would expect a high standard of work from any person who is paid but we do not always get that do we?

739554 2009-01-17 03:55:00 What lies did the police tell - Can you quantify how long you think the search should have gone on for given that they were told all the occupants had left the scene. BTW Mr Cribb could have rung the police after he was told later that night that his son was still missing but he went to bed but fathers are not paid so no blame there then Dally (6292)
