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? '
Australian Officer's Answer:
BANG!
American Officer's Answer
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Brillant 777, sums up the Victorian "hit squad" just nicely ![Grin](images/smilies/smile2grin.gif)
What happened to the old NZ police mantra, of better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6?
