WOAH😮 come on KIWI’S let’s not be conquered and divided😞 like what’s happening around the world, and to the “policy enforcers” it’s not hard to apologise for an innocent mistake, my 17 year old son was brought home by policy enforcers that were very apologetic for mistakenly kidnapping my son who was a similar description to who they were looking for ( unfortunately) but they were good one’s, there’s good and bad everywhere. PEACE ✌️

Some police think that even the good honest Maori are crims, even if it's a Maori priest going for an early morning run. Or maybe they were thinking he's a wolf in sheep's clothing doing a runner instead. 🤔

How do you tell the honest ones from the bad ? you all look alike & that goes for all ethnicities. Wouldn't matter what nationality the majority of the perps were in overpresented stats ,if it were us caucasians we would be the ones being pulled up more often. Until such time you lot actually do something about it instead of leaving it to society to clean up the mess as a whole then you'll keep getting what you've got. All it takes is one maori to say to the rest on all the marae's " wtf are we going to do about it " & continue to hold your leaders feet to the fire until it changes. Not sure why however back in the 70's you could leave your house unlocked & go out i remember it distinctly as a kid. It was around very late 70's we all started locking doors. Something changed don't know what. Here in manurewa it used to be good now it's the new otara & otara is better, never thought that would happen tho i do know why it has, kids mimic the parents.

If you fit the profile. FFS get over being a victim. Get a life and move upwards.

Ive got news for u..everyone gets pulled over..your not that privileged that u deserve an apology 😂

[@Tankhorse02]

Try living in Mangere East you get questioned for nothing and when they ask for I.D we gotta give it even without causing trouble to anyone were all suspects in the south to these c**ts!

I'm a maori and I agree, get over it. Also a "maori priest " sounds suspicious lol.

[@scorpnz4433]

My advice would be to maori is stop accepting mediocrity in your own culture. Lets take gangs for example where is the voices of maori leaders saying enough is enough where is the shame to be part of a gang as all i hear is crickets. All of NZ & that's everyone should not have to put up with it ,meanwhile it appears to be excused as the the norm we don't nor should we at anytime accept it so why do you maori as well as pacific islanders.
