He was no threat. We shot him.

Without The State who would settle non-threatening visitors to primary schools by discharging guns into them?

Police report that they have shot a 31yo man and put him into “serious condition in hospital” after interrupting him in conversation on the grounds of a Hastings Primary School. The District Commander, Superintendent Tania Kura, says the man “took off” when he saw her armed officers approaching from “some distance.”

“…the man had links to a staff member and a student at the school….the man was not threatening staff or children but indicated he wanted to speak to a specific staff member, she said….with classrooms “metres away”…and he was shot once.”- Man shot by police at Flaxmere Primary School did not threaten staff or children; Radio New Zealand

Is it possible this man is the parent of one of the pupils and related to one of the school teachers? That, an everyday visit became a rumour of an armed intruder? Just add keyed up and armed police and you have a school shooting!?

Unanswered Questions

Kura’s RNZ interview from the evening of the incident is at odds with the Police statement the following morning. The District Commander says the shot man was not threatening anyone and refuses to confirm he was armed. However…

“…the man threatened a staff member,… the man presented a firearm and was shot once, suffering injuries to his arm and torso..the firearm carried by the man was an imitation pistol.”- Eastern District Police; Facebook

Eastern District Commander Superintendent Tania Kura told Radio New Zealand the man was not threatening staff or children. It was hard to know if anyone was ever in any danger or if the man had any firearm, she said.

To paraphrase my hearing of the interview on the radio…

RNZ: Was anyone in any danger from this man?

Police Commander: Hard to know because we’re not inside his head. (Psychic powers being required for a police officer to be able to assess danger. Next question please)

RNZ: Was the man Police shot threatening anyone at the time?

Police Commander: No.

RNZ: Was the man armed?

Police Commander: We are unable to confirm but someone told us so and we believed it.

NZB3: Well, did you find a weapon on the body or anywhere at the school? Could there still be a deadly weapon on school grounds then? Are you unable to confirm or unwilling to confirm?

Police Commander: We are unable to confirm

RNZ: How were the shooters confident enough to take the major step of shooting him in the arm and torso?

Police Commander: We’ll figure that out later on.

RNZ: What was their figuring prior to shooting though?

Police Commander: I haven’t asked them but am concerned about their stress because shooting someone is a big deal so we’ve got to support our staff.

RNZ: Were the children meters away exposed to the violence?

Police Commander: Children…Not sure.

Post-Massacre Backlash

Everything that happens in New Zealand policing since March must be considered in light of the Christchurch Massacre at Al Noor Mosque. New Zealand keeps on Accelerating toward clashes of violence almost as if some Supervillian had set some scheme in motion back in March! Our Police have become armed and made themselves more political. As Commander Kura said in her interview, Flaxmere School has sadly been well versed in the procedure of lock-down of their school so was well-prepared for this incident.

“The concept of ‘lock-down’, ostensibly during times of emergency only, is becoming more widely used and accepted, and this acceptance is now spreading to more than just the physical locality but also to information dissemination even as the period of lock-down is increasingly extended beyond the original emergency.”- Gekkonomics; Anarkiwi (March 2019)

The Backlash follows the acts of a man we’re not supposed to name, Brenton Tarrant, and his manifesto we’re not supposed to know about. If you read it before the lock-down you’d have seen that this Supervillan set out specifically to Accelerate conflict and armed conflict within New Zealand. Innocent gun-owners have had their arms taken, innocent people interrogated at their doors, police have become armed and their arms upgraded. People have been shot and people have died.

In 2018 children were still able to be educated about firearms, in 2019 the great lock-down curtain fell! Even an adult’s right to bare arms has been “bought back” and our police are solving problems with bullets like never before. It has long been common for citizens of the US to submit to police least they get shot. Watching their cop shows we New Zealanders are shocked to see how police treat the people they’re supposed to be protecting. If Kiwis visit America and act the way we do here we’re likely to be shot or deported (tell me about it.) To us, the police are staff who work for us.

On these streets charles
You got to understand the rules
Promise me if an officer stops you’ll always be polite
Never ever run away and promise mama you’ll keep your hands in sight
– American Skin; Bruce Springsteen

As our Cop Culture changes to (like America) be militant and armed, our citizens’ culture must also adjust so that we become a submissive people too. The endless police shows screening each week prepare us for how we’re supposed to act. Before that happens there will be some casualties. Some New Zealanders are going to keep behaving as if they’re not going to be shot during times when they now will be. Kiwis are not raised to know to be polite to officers, to keep their hands in sight around policemen, to never ever run away.

In my opinion that’s what happened to the man in Hawke’s Bay Hospital with a police hole in him. He thought he was living in New Zealand earlier this year. Forgot to check his watch. Got shot.
