Firstly, it will affect how they interact with the public. Such tragedies offer a direct challenge to the democratic conventions of policing
According to the fantasy version of history invented by the left, slavery was invented by whip-cracking white men in 1619 and continues to be practised by wicked white men to this day. And, uh, reparations and stuff. It’s all the most ignorant lies, of course. Slavery was practised
The government told us we’d all be safer as a result of their ill-conceived gun confiscation. We told them that the laws would only affect law-abiding gun owners, not criminals. But Stuart Nash and his cronies knew best. We told them that if they didn’t follow

In case you’ve not seen it, yesterday Stuff “broke” the story that Brenton Tarrant was given a firearms licence without going through the required vetting – a breach of the Police’s own policy. The March 15 terrorist was wrongly granted a firearms licence due to a string of police
Andrew Little appears to have an affinity with things dark. First, it was a mine where he finally saw the light and gave up on the ridiculous hope of bringing out the dead. Now he is focusing on life and involving himself in the Black Lives Matter perversity as Minister
As I wrote recently, the cost of widespread innumeracy is deadly. When people are so ignorant of basic statistical reasoning that their worldview is at 180° to reality, people get hurt. David Dorn and many others were killed in riots sparked by complete and utter lies. The astounding denialism of
