NZ first are on to something with their bill for much harsher penalties for people who own dogs that attack someone, it happens far too often, and owners are far too casual about the damage a dog can do.
Also, good to see the same quotes you always hear after a dog attack. They’re such sweet dogs, this hasn’t happened before, they’re great with the baby, etc.
I’m sick of reading the same story every other year.
I used to be ACAB all day. I’ve got it tattooed on my arm (we’re all young once). I loathed the cops more than anything. But then I starred to notice a shift. The NZ police have made a genuine effort to change over the last 10-15 years. I know Andrew Coster messed up badly recently but I think he did good as commissioner.
Yeah there are still pigs, but there shit people in every bunch, can’t help that.
There’s recent corruption stuff too but they are actively working on that and they prosecute their own when they mess up badly.
I’d much rather a dog was pepoer sprayed than shot dead like they do in the states. We don’t know how lucky we are to not have a police force like USA. Obviously they aren’t perfect, far from it, but I believe they are good and want to help.
