Stuff media has responsibly allowed this particularly heinous (and fatal) police conduct to be brought to the attention of the public (so many instances of rotten-to-the-core police conduct are never exposed, of course).
The wantonly reckless, speed-freak actions of 'Officer A' - the utter epitome of a Fool in Uniform - took the life of the young and innocent woman depicted in the Stuff news segment . . . and without need, without thought, and, thus far, without any accountability by this redneck whatsoever.
However, a seasoned accident investigator (speaking out independently) has spoken to Stuff, telling them this cretinous individual should be subject to criminal charges. And yet, conversely, within days this dangerous public liability in a police uniform was back behind the wheel of a patrol car.
(So he clearly suffered stuff-all guilt or trauma for having just needlessly killed a young woman, eh?)
A Miracle That this Fool-in-Uniform's Criminal Idiocy Didn't Cause
Multiple Deaths
What is even more concerning than the life his criminal idiocy claimed, is that - if you view the repro-footage shown by this (let's call him a) whistleblower (i.e. the investigation professional who has bravely spoken out) - it is beyond amazing that multiple other vehicles, their occupants, and pedestrians, were not also taken out . . . by this "officer" hijacked by his own adrenalin rush.
Why? You have to watch his recreation of the event to believe it. The Fool in Uniform chased this obviously terrified young woman along a single-lane-width road running right beside the waterline the ocean, with no footpath, and with multiple driveways coming down to said road at steep gradients and which were fully shrouded in trees at their roadway entrance.
Could it have been any more of a multi-factorial recipe for multiple fatalities?
Stuff's commentary in
this news piece echoes a key point made in its
earlier coverage of the "accident"
(that, in my view, would be more accurately described as a "killing", since that outcome was clearly inevitable). That is, it demonstrates the fact that - unlike the officer in completely unnecessary and wantonly dangerous pursuit - the young woman, named Angel, was not some fellow criminal, she was simply frightened of the local police due to treatment she had received in an earlier interaction.
Today's Coppers Aren't Like Those We Grew Up Relying On & Trusting
(Many Are Now Just Dangerous - and Dangerously Unaccountable - Thugs)
But hey, it's all OK, right? We're in need of more cops, so what's the downside of putting rednecks like this behind the wheel of a patrol car? And, if any outcome should result in any pesky media coverage, the IPCA ("Independent" Police Conduct Authority - which is anything
but independent) can "investigate" their own, right? What could possibly be wrong with that "process"?
And if you think the police in New Zealand nowadays couldn't possibly be so different from those we grew up thinking we could rely on and trust, here's
my own recent experience of how they have better things to do than investigate crimes (like causing them, as we see here in this fatal outcome and the heinous and unaccountable loss of such a young life).
But Look A Little Deeper . . . & There's the Stink of Collusion & Corruption
In the below earlier Stuff coverage, you'll see how this case might be one involving a whole lot more than just an out-of-control redneck cop.
How so?
That same "officer" had pulled over Angel and her friend at a random breath check stop at some time in the recent past. According to the friend Angel had been with at that earlier time, although there had been no reason for it, the "officer" had - in an act of unwarranted aggression towards the girl - pushed his bloated-out chest into her body. (Readers can hear other details in the below YouTube video of the Stuff news segment.)
In Stuff's earlier coverage, the investigative journalist on the case, uncovered:
- That a witness engaging in a water sport, and watching the pursuit from the water, had seen the pursuing police car (in his words) "right up the ass" of Angel's car.
- That the family had found black rub marks on the rear bumper bar, that they claim had not been on Angel's vehicle prior, and that indicated clearly that contact had been made.
- How, some three months after the accident, and with the family doing all it could to bring the case to the attention of the public and achieve transparency, truth and justice from the police (and getting nowhere amidst a stew of conflicting claims from them), the police suddenly "found" a bag of methamphetamine . . . a substance that Angel's mother said she had never engaged in the taking thereof.
So . . . my readers, you decide. Does it sound like a crockpot of corruption on the part of the police? Sure does to me. But, again, never fear. The ultimate crockpot of corruption - the "Independent" Police Conduct Authority will get to the bottom of the whole stinking story.
Yeah, right.
