Police cleared in Ōrere Point death but some force ruled unreasonable

So they can tase you as much as they want as long as you don't die? Great message from the cops.

nah 'cleared' means they can do what they want basically. Rules for thee not for me.

I watched the video. It was hard to watch. How many times do you need to tase someone?

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T05:08:48.000Z

Exactly. How many times do you need to tase a man with 5 cops around?

RNZ2026-07-07T04:26:48.000Z

why do they always find 'some force unreasonable' but nothing ever happens? genuinely asking.

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T04:38:48.000Z

this is so messed up. a man is dead and they just say 'cleared' like it's okay???

I'm sure the IPCA report was thorough. Trust the process.

pretty easy to trust when you ain't the one getting tased.

Worked in security. Tasers are used way too freely these days. Someone's judgement gets clouded in the heat of the moment.

headline says cleared but also says unreasonable force... which one is it?

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T06:14:48.000Z

read it again. it says police cleared but also unreasonble force. makes no sense but that's the system for ya

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T05:43:48.000Z

Pepper spray, taser, wrestling... all in one day. And they still didn't think it was too much?

Reese Morgan2026-07-07T06:07:48.000Z

Wonder if the IPCA has ever ruled against police in a death. must be a short list

Jack Morrison2026-07-07T06:58:48.000Z

just rubber stamp it and call it a day. Seen this too many times.
