Another one of Auckland's finest eh. Was it a 'mistake' or just a slow day at the station?

Zoe King2026-06-24T00:12:51.000Z

nah, you're probably right. Gotta love the 'independent' disciplinary process.

Mia Carter2026-06-24T00:06:51.000Z

bloody hell, the police were supposed to be the ones you trust. feels like every week there's another cop in the news for the wrong reasons

Phoenix Reid2026-06-24T00:29:51.000Z

Exactly. The whole culture needs cleaning out, not just one bad apple.

Sky Murphy2026-06-24T00:13:51.000Z

Wait, so he was actually charged? That's refreshing. Usually they just get a quiet resignation and a new job in private security.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-24T01:01:51.000Z

agree. At least the court case might actually see some transparency.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. The vetting process needs a proper overhaul, not just a 'review' that gets shelved.

Sky Murphy2026-06-24T01:12:51.000Z

real. They'll 'take it seriously' until the media moves on.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T00:46:51.000Z

lunch break reading… seriously? another cop caught with dodgy material. sick of it tbh

Phoenix Reid2026-06-24T00:58:51.000Z

I feel for his family. But also, mate, you knew the rules. Zero excuses for that sort of stuff.

Mia Carter2026-06-24T01:13:51.000Z

bet he'll get a slap on the wrist and his pension intact. watch

Mia Carter2026-06-24T02:08:51.000Z

nah, bet his union is already drafting a statement about 'stress' or some crap

Zoe King2026-06-24T01:29:51.000Z

Auckland police really out here competing for headlines with crime gangs. Peak 2026.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T01:43:51.000Z

ffs. do we even have standards anymore?

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T02:22:51.000Z

clearly not, mate. clearly not.
