Herald “Tabloid spin doctoring” continues

This time reporter Yvonne Tahana is the Herald Hack that wants her stories hand fed to her by a Police Service that’s reputation is in public meltdown.

Yvonne Tahana

Tahana is allegedly the tabloids Maori affairs reporter, and given that most of the criminal Police brutality is perpetrated against Maori and the poor, which in New Zealand is mostly one and the same, her sycophantic regurgitation of a self serving story about an arrest requiring reinforcements is nothing short of amazing.

Tahana probably finds herself lucky being maori and reporting for the Herald, and therefore will do anything to keep a job with a Newspaper that can still afford to pay reporters.  No doubt the income comes from the burgeoning adult section as APN takes on Fairfax in competing for the happy ending industries advertising dollar.

The story begins in the following breath taking manner;

A Kawhia policeman pepper-sprayed and tasered a man on the main street of the small west coast Waikato town yesterday after trying to arrest him for an outstanding warrant.

A shift commander at Northern Communications Centre said a policeman was “slightly injured” during the incident which happened just after 6pm on Jervois St. It increased in seriousness because two men known to the tasered man became involved in the arrest.

“An officer in Kawhia was trying to make an arrest and the offender resisted arrest and was tasered and sprayed. His associates interfered and they’ve been locked up as well.

The police officer arrested the man’s associates when backup arrived.

“He was slightly injured in the incident but he is okay.”

He would not say what the outstanding warrant related to or if the policeman was local.

Booze-hound and Glock proponent Greg O’Connor

Now come on Tahana you were told to do the story by the Police Services Public Relations to balance all of the bad press about Police brutally assaulting New Zealanders, which Lauda Finem believes occurs so regularly that it is considered completely normal by the likes of Greg O’Connor.

The consistent approach by the Corrupt District Court Judges granting name suppressions in order that the police offender can be dealt with by a corrupt trial likely before the same corrupt Judge, where the Judge does a credibility assessment and finds the victims account of events unrealistic or words to that effect.  The cop is then emboldened to commit further likely more serious offending and the Service likely promotes him enabling him to pass on his experience.

Of course Police corruption is not unusual anywhere in the world, but what is unusual is the way the New Zealand Police Service is aided and abetted by a completely disinterested media.

Tahana’s article goes on to inform the reader that other police officers have also been subject to attack by citizens.

“In December, Dargaville party-goers took turns to kick, punch and beat a police officer with a baseball bat while he lay unconscious on the ground.

Another policeman present tried to shield his partner during the attack. Local fire service officers rushed to the scene for backup and provided first-aid until an ambulance arrived.

That attack was one of four which police officers faced over the Christmas break. In one incident in the Waikato an officer called to a dispute over Christmas lights was seriously assaulted and repeatedly punched in the head.

Another Waikato constable, who was relatively new to the job, broke her ankle attending a family violence incident and another was assaulted while arresting a 17-year-old at a party in Huntly.

What the fuck are you on about Tahana. Four or five incidents where some violence occurred where Police were slightly injured over the entire Christmas period in the Northland, Auckland and Waikato areas.  That amounts to news that Police are the subject to virtually no physical violence, and therefore their very high level of violence against their fellow citizens is even harder to comprehend.

And what started the four or five seemingly unusual events.  Maybe the way in which the Waikato man was arrested.  Maybe the cop tazered the guy before arresting him, and this brought about the reaction from the mans associates.

The introduction of the Tazer has clearly led to Police, who would have previously resorted to talking first, using the Tazer as a weapon, rather than a shield.  This has occurred wherever the tazer has been deployed;

We at Lauda Finem believe that the obvious is now more than obvious.  The New Zealand Police Service recruits are fucking thick nut jobs who when they put a uniform on go berzerk beating, raping, and even murdering New Zealander’s.  They get away with this behavior protected by a completely corrupt police hierarchy and Judiciary.  This is not to say that there are not good cops and even great cops, as there are good judges and bloody great Judges, but they are clearly in the minority and are sworn to observe omerta.
