In a recent blog I again spoke of the police chase issue here in New Zealand.
Well what has appeared in the media is an interview with the grandmother of one of those who died running from the police.
She says he wasn't always good but police should not be chasing people in high speed pursuits or words to that effect.
Do people just not get it? Ok whanau(family) will be in grief, but how is it the police fault when this person & his mate chose to run not once but twice.
His grandmother says he was so good with his new baby despite having split with his partner.
Well if he was really good & really wanted to be a role model to that child growing up then why was he hundreds of kilometres from home in a stolen vehicle which on been signaled to pull over twice for already speeding then proceeded to drive dangerously?
Now it is not always a given that if you come from a bad background you will become bad yourself. But from the attitude first of the criminals who died then the grandmother of that criminal I don't hold much hope for the child.
When you see babies or young children they are so full of life & for young kids especially Maori so bright then they follow parents into drugs & crime. Then you see the difference once they are grown, those that where looked after have better choices(though they don't always take them) but odds on those who are raised in a life of crime, drugs or alcohol dependency will have a chip on their shoulder all of the families making.
Crime factors.: An article from: Uniform Crime Reports: Crime in the United States
The police don't make the laws, they just enforce them. Crime is already out of control in New Zealand, though most of it is unreported, if the police don't chase then it will the road to anarchy as there will be no repercussions.
How people can blame the police when they are not the ones breaking the law is beyond me?
