    Question: How do you tell the difference between:-
    A New Zealand Police Officer , An Australian Police Officer ?and
    An American Police Officer?

    To obtain the answer you must pose the following question to the Officer;

    'You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
    children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
    around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the
    knife, and charges.

    You are carrying a Glock ..40, and you are an expert shot. You have
    mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?'



    NZ POLICE OFFICER'S Answer:

    ' Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

    Does the man look poor or oppressed?

    Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

    Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his
    hand?

    What does the law say about this situation?

    Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it, am I using it in an
    OSH approved fashion?

    Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this
    send to society and to my children?

    If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, Do I get blamed when he
    falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself?

    Will the NZ tax payer foot the bill for his ACC claim if I injure him?

    If I shoot him, and lose the court case. Does he have the opportunity to sue
    me, cost me my job, my credibility and I will lose my family
    home?

    Am I being culturally sensitive to the attacker if I shoot him, will I be
    offending his mana if I wound or kill him?

    Will I have to defend myself in court as a racist if I shoot him? '

    Brillant 777, sums up the Victorian "hit squad" just nicely

    What happened to the old NZ police mantra, of better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6?
