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?
