bazley report consequence

apart from spelling her name correctly, another rape has come to light. it seems our police force might be the biggest group of rapists in the country. it seems a woman had her rape complaint ignored by the police. it seems that howard broad's [the commissioner of police] apology has yet to encompass all that it should. the charge that had been ignored by the police was looked at some years later but the man who was accused was let off because of the time that had lapsed and of course the medical evidence was missing. Herbet-Savage [the woman concerned] is definitely looking for compensation, about $500,000. she intends to speak with louise nicholas about it too. it seems there is hope for this case as there is support from the bazley report. something needs to be done about a force in disarray. the public loss of public confidence is very harmful. someone somewhere needs to come up with a formula for addressing this issue. it needs sorting, and quickly. the mike moreu cartoon is to the point.

why would they/we want rickards back?

for some reason (which goes some way to convincing me he is unfit) clint rickards is unable to see why he should not be given his job back as auckland's district commander of police. at the least offensive end of the scale, he has admitted to indulging in group sex while married (not a behaviour for a man in his position) at the offensive end, he has been charged with rape twice. how can the public be expected to have full confidence in their police force if that behaviour is considered acceptable? at least the mayor of auckland has stood up on the issue.
it seems that a former policeman who investigated the first case is about to be investigated regarding perverting the course of justice. this has not finished yet. perhaps louise nicholas will be vindicated yet.
