    Key is beefing up pace for funding in the budget for tasers. Typical

    Rule #2: Never judge a book by it's cover.

    My personal experience is that there's very much a "wow" factor associated with telling people that you're involved in that kind of job, and eventually it gets a bit tired

    So once again, communication skills are a requirement in our new police system. ;)

    Firstly, I am not criticising the police for their handling of this situation.

    I hadn't noticed anyone criticising the police (other than that Dexter) for this situation in particular, which I deduce Nick Kearney has noticed also, but I could be wrong (what the hey).Still the tabloidization of what sounds like a decent cop going about with his duties has once again dragged up questions that we should put to the Minister thus giving her the chance to excuse her part played in the circus that evolved. While I don't see much change, dreams are free.

    You're letting your paranoia get away from you. This was an extraordinary situation, requiring extraordinary measures.

    Well that's how it rolls. This hysteria via a "routine drug bust" was created with the help of the MSM. I don't recall routine drug busts being routine. I do recall the police however listening to drug info( often given by some other drug taker/user) and relying heavily on that info being truthful. Although a threat of your worthless life being saved from jail by the kind policeman, should definitely make you pass on truthful information, more often than not you will find ( and I suspect the police know this) that most of the info is just to save your own arse and the odd bit of truth thrown in to get off your own charges.
    Also the threats of planting drugs (courtesy of the drug squad) is known to happen so bullshit info would be preferable to being banged up. Therefore it would be better for the police to be paranoid, than assume any raid on a home would be "routine"

    Yes, and these people could get some fucking perspective, is what I'm saying.

    Ok, keep your hair on. (thought that was Craig for a minute) Yes, you're absolutely right of course (unless you're a cow or sheep or baby lamb)It's not the same.

    Ahh but Giovanni, that's how some people see it. Simplistically put,killing is killing is killing and some are just frankly sick of it. After a while it all seems the same. Jus' sayin'

  • Hard News: The Social Retail,

    Sorry Sofie - the point about gems is that they have to be warm out of the oven, so the butter melts just a little, accompanied by the gingery bakey smell in the house. Doesn't transport.

    Excuses. ;)
