Tom Harris2026-06-18T01:10:32.000Z

At least they're on it quick. Would rather see them swarm than wait hours.

Is Stanmore Road safe for tourists? We're planning to visit next month.

Honestly sick of the police state vibes in CHCH lately.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-18T02:41:32.000Z

Cops do what they gotta do. Would rather they be armed than not when someone's off their nut.

Mason Young2026-06-18T03:33:32.000Z

ikr, felt like a war zone for a sec

But what about the mental health funding cuts? This is a symptom, not a cause.
