I love the word “independent “. As a former detective Michael, I greatly appreciate you speaking up about this. The problem is not just Coster however, it is also executive members of police that have become radicalised as activists for the left. Former police commissioner, Mike Bush kicked the lefts agenda off in earnest, and Coster ran hard towards the try line when he was passed the ball. Getting rid of Coster would be a good start but other executive members both sworn and nonsworn need to be exited forthwith once he is.

[@roy421000]

The only problems I had, driving taxis, in the cafe, and doing building work for people, were with Maori people. Them trying to not pay or punch me in the taxis (ex champion boxer so I surprised them a bit) them making a mess and not taking responsibility for it in the cafe, and them not paying for work done, until I made them, with the building work - (I make everyone pay in advance now, saves the hassles).

If a crime is committed it should be prosecuted, no matter who committed that crime. Coster has shown his unwillingness to act without fear or favour and instead to act more as a benevolent uncle. He has no place in a modern Police Force because his attitude only encourages crime. As we all see on a daily basis.

Actually, during the Adern government one of the Maori Party MPs (I think it was) complained that Police 10-7 was showing too many Maori offenders and making the race look bad. Although there was no evidence the program was showing a disproportionate number of Maori offenders, thereafter it showed mainly white offenders. That was actual racism, providing a false portrayal of the frequency of white offending. Prior to that the portrayal was probably accurate.

On the basis of what has "been disclosed by Michael", I am not disputing the data, but what interests me, is are we, here in New Zealand, starting to see "a lean toward Maori, by the NZ Police, as being a separate entity on a Legal platform". The reason I pose this question, is that in England "a 2 tier Policing issue has arisen and brought to the attention of the UK Public" (and anyone who surfs YT, will have seen the multitude of posted videos on this) - whereby the Police there are "more" sympathetic to the Muslim Community ignoring their illegal actions, yet the rest of the population gets "lots of Police attention" - this action predates recent riots. Are we, now going to see the same actions, implemented and led by Commissioner Coster? Keep in mind the Police "are supposedly undertaking Hate Speech Training", something "denied" by Mark Mitchell, yet our Police have staff who are in constant contact with those "who report hate speech violations (yes here in NZ)"- in England & Scotland- they do have that Law, that is strongly enforced, by the Police.

Why can't a new government appoint a new police commissioner

[@cheriedaken1225]

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster needs to go......now.

Coster the imposter...

[@barrycuda3769]

Pleece commissioner.

Lucky the crimes are not living in Singapore. Oh by the way Singapore is the safest place in the world isn't it. And the cleanest place. And loads of clever people and companies.

I am pretty sure Coster was a Jacinda appointment, she got rid of the previous Police commissioner as soon as she got into office - since then, the incidence of criminal offences has sky rocketed - a simple solution might be to remove Coster and replace him with a new commissioner

He'll be gone as of May '25. Hopefully the new appointee will not be a woke muppet.

Yes Costa needs to go
