our police and their behaviour

the sunday news have been given an hour long video showing brad shipton and two other men having sex with a woman. evidently, the other two men are ex police officers. shipton was also a tauranga city councillor. he might have had a bondage/discipline room at his bar in tauranga. the woman "mary" who supplied and starred in the video would also give oral sex to officers for getting a lift home from the pub. annette king [minister of police] wants a report. perhaps she is excited by the idea. but you needn't be concerned, this will not alter the commission of enquiry report into police behaviour. i guess that means this is consistent with the report.
i don't know about you, but i am wondering about how consistently the police recruit for their ranks. sexually violent and abusive men should not be acceptable in our police force. this, after all that has gone on regarding clint rickard, bob schollum and brad shipton's court trial late last year and finding our that shipton and schollum are in jail for rape. someone, somewhere needs to wake up.

they are not convinced

it seems that women [generally] are not convinced when it comes to rickard, schollum and shipton and their not guilty verdict. last night [international women's day] there were protests around the country. they want law changes. they want an end to sexual violence [do ya think?]. it is weird how half the population can still be treated as second class. they [women] are adamant about rickard not getting his job back. they are calling the situation an "abuse of power", which it is.

rickards persecuted 'to stop maori taking top job' ??????

what is this about? what kind of spurious accusation is this? what proof is there of that ['to stop maori taking top job']? could the fact that rickard, shipton and schollum themselves, have contributed to the police and govt reluctance to put him back in as a "top cop" have anything to do with it? is it the two rape accusations, and the fact that schollum and shipton are in jail for rape have anything to do with it? why would two women put themselves through the public scrutiny, unless there is some substance to their accusations? are they both attention seekers? if they are, it sure has worked. something is wrong, I know that.
