Drop the charges! Protest re so-called anti-terror raids

gpja — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:20:21 +0400

A rally in Aotea Square at 12noon today will call for the dropping of all charges against the 17 people arrested in the so-called anti-terror raids on October 15th last year.

The protest is part of an International Day of Action against the threat to civil liberties posed by the police surveillance and subsequent raids. This is the biggest attack on civil liberties since the regulations to defeat the wharfies in the 1951 waterfront lockout. (Protests will take place in several centres around the world by New Zealanders and overseas activists)

Police want political cover on tasers, not consultation

gpja — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:36:20 +0400

With his bizarre media statement yesterday Police Commissioner Howard Broad confirmed the police don’t want consultation with MPs or anyone else over taser deployment. Instead they want political cover for an unpopular decision.

On Wednesday afternoon Minister of Police Annette King made a statement to parliament saying Police Commissioner Howard Broad had decided to arm police with tasers but he wanted MP approval before confirming the decision.

However there were no invitation to MPs to discuss the issue, no submissions sought and no meetings held.

Police decision on tasers predictable and deplorable

gpja — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:14:07 +0400

The police decision to deploy tasers, subject to MP approval, is a predictable but deplorable decision.

The decision represents another move along the path to policing by force rather than policing by consent.

The decision to consult with members of parliament is a sham. A majority of MPs will support the decision as the police cynically know that neither Labour nor National will dare seem to be soft on “law and order” in the lead-up to the election.
