Why are the police not held to the same, if not higher, standards as the rest of NZ's population?
Why are they seemingly able to break the laws designed to protect people from their excesses with impunity?
Why can they effectively ignore the rulings of the IPCA, a body set up with the sole purpose of ensuring the good behaviour of the police force?
And why is the government even considering exempting front-line police from the policy that has required nurses, teachers and other government employees to be vaccinated or fired?
Should we be concerned by these stories?
