No, the Police must take responsibility for there own actions & Ruatoki was OTT.
How should police have reacted to the statements made public today? By walking up and knocking politely on the door?

...yeah and your point being ???
Probably that it's utterly idiotic and hypocritical. Of course, if you don't mind being a hypocritical idiot that probably doesn't bother you.

Actually, as long as we're going for ambitious rationalisations: knowing the temperament of certain people, perhaps they knew they were being monitored and delighted in saying outrageous things to tweak the listeners.
In that case they'd also better be fully willing to front up and apologise to the people of Ruatoki who had to sit through a completely predictable call-out to the Armed Offenders Squad and are seemingly rather unhappy about it.
That would make them just stupidly irresponsible morons who've hurt their people and their cause in the public eye, rather than stupidly irresponsible morons who were planning to hurt people.

Who said it was? The NF have only ever been brought up in the context that they don't get the same treatment.
When people start trying to put severity of what was said in context by claiming that it's no worse than the National Front then I have to wonder. I always thought the left thought that the National Front was pretty damn repugnant.

Really? If that's your take, I give up.
Quite. When the did left decide that being no worse than the National Front was a badge of merit?

Compare that to how many broken electoral promises or back pedaling politicians do every other day ? Imagine tapping some of their phones or being privy to their dunken conversations. ?
I could have sworn a book of them showed up a little while ago, no? I don't recall reading about Don Brash tossing around the idea of killing a few people to get his game up for knocking off Helen.

Maureen, you're making the false assumption that a person can only be brutal or gentle. People are more than capable of being selectively either depending on the context. For a case in point, try to measure your own feelings about killing cows and chickens vs pandas and baby seals.

Also, just to make a point here - people say a lot of silly stuff on the anonymous internet. It's very easy to get worked up with a screen in front of you and no human beings responding. Saying the same kind of stuff in conversation with somebody is considerably scarier, in my view.

Sorry I mean I don't understand why they watched and waited so long.
Because they were trying to build a case they thought they could get a conviction on? It is what they do, after all.

In other news, Indymedia's database goes bang.
