King of the Pigs racist threat against Hīkoi mō te Tiriti is contemptible
Fresh from heavy handed tactics in Opotiki that saw mothers and grandmothers strip searched and 3 year olds locked alone in the back of Police cars, King of the Pigs, Mark Mitchel makes a racist double down on the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti…
Police Minister warns Toitū te Tiriti protesters cops will take action against lawlessness
As convoys of protesters begin their week of disruption this morning, Police Minister Mark Mitchell has warned his officers “will take action … if there is any sort of law broken”.
…here’s the usual bullshit double standards at play.
When it’s me, Nicky Harger, MANA, Greenpeace and Māori rights activists, the SIS, Police and GCSB can’t move fast enough to infringe our rights, yet when it’s far right Christian Fascists, Mark has NOTHING to say.
This is Bishop Brian Tamaki PROMISING violence in his bullshit protests this week and not a fucking word from Mark Mitchell about that!
Māori peacefully protesting this Governments insane racist agenda = ‘Police will give you the bash if you step out of line’.
Bishop Brian Tamaki and his right wing Christian leather daddy fascists promising violence = not a whisper.
That’s how it is in NZ now, that’s the way it’s always been.
Welcome to Old Zealand, land of the wrong white crowd…
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Maori, I’ll simplify this down to, the people, are protesting government actions while Tamaki’s mob are protesting against the people…the Police exist to protect and serve government, hence their actions here.
what a crock of shit .
Don’t know – if AO comment is unpacked it seems right.
Maori people massing and marching, protesting against government.
Tamaki’s group, mostly Maori, massing, protesting against both people and the government in their own way (promising examples of minor violence against flags they don’t approve),
Police serve government primarily not the people, and will act as the government orders, making some decisions on the firmness of enforcement of orders.
Correct GW. Tamaki’s mob is a great example of my point. When his mob is protesting government actions, then they attract the law like honey to a bee, but as they are about to protest against the actions of some people, then the law has all of a sudden become super-humanly flexible.
When it comes to protests, it not only matters as to whom is protesting, but it matters as to whom you protest against that determines police action/inaction.
King of the pigs is a good name for mitchell he’s a horrid little man with too much power a warmonger and power-hungry dickhead. And he always looks on the dark side of life, I suggest it’s the right-wing Nazi white power nutcases he needs to worry about.
Had a chat with a fellow elderly pakeha at the gym this morning .He was clearly worried that the Maori want to take his farm back .I assured him that was not the case and all they want is for the goverment to keep their dirty land and sea grabbing hands off what remaining land they have as is in the treaty .
But he’s happy for ACT and atlas to take control of the air and land around it and dig it up pollute and poison it or sell it off for some fenced off private resort.
yes
Setting up a 1930s German political power approach – people victimised by thug tactics increasing the power of an authoritarian gummmint. ‘What me Worry’ says Alfred E. Neuman.
Neuman’s famous motto is the intellectually incurious “What, me worry?” This was changed for one issue to “Yes, me worry!” after the Three Mile Island accident in 1979.

This from reports in media: Background.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/opotiki-mongrel-mob-raids-kuia-says-she-was-strip-searched-mothers-tell-how-kids-traumatised-by-armed-police/4VIA5RGTWZHGTDB4ZM3UJOZI3E/
A kuia claims she and her daughter-in-law were subjected to strip searches during the Ōpōtiki police raids on homes suspected to be connected to the Mongrel Mob.
And a 3-year-old’s Ōpōtiki home has allegedly been raided four times by police in 10 months, as whānau speak of the long-term effects these armed raids have on tamariki and mokopuna.
“My daughter-in-law and I were subjected to invasive strip searches, an experience that left me feeling violated and humiliated,” one kuia said.
“The decision to search only the two of us in this manner was unexplained and deeply troubling.
“I was told to undress down to my undies, even had to lift my bra. I still cannot fully comprehend why this had to happen and the purpose of only searching her and I in this manner.”
Police raided homes across the North Island including 15 in Ōpōtiki on October 22. Twenty-two people out of the 28 charged are known to be from Ōpōtiki, who face a variety of charges including possession of methamphetamine for supply and participating in an organised criminal group. Three people have name suppression….
this prick is hell bent on creating conflict with maori.I see Seymoure wants to have a meeting with them now .MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT LAST YEAR BEFORE HE EMBARKED ON HIS MISSION TO DESTROY NZ .
Exactly. He’s just shit stirring and currently running his hands with glee.
Rubbish he is looking to start a problem hence the real reason Coster has been pushed aside .Coster would have spoken to the Hikoi long ago and offered advice and assistance to smooth the journey .Mitchell is too far up his self to talk to anyone except his mirror .
Trevor. The Parliament fiasco may not have occurred at all if (a) the Party leaders had had the courtesy to engage with the protestors, or at least listened to them instead of trying to silence them and (b) Mallard hadn’t escalated the situation by turning the water on and blasting them with what he hoped was objectionable music. He doesn’t seem to be a Bach sort of person but more of a barker, IMO, and that bark was directed indiscriminately at quite small children, women, and men alike as, mad dogs do.
It was actually the police who tried to have those sprinklers turned off, but they were overruled by Parliamentary Services. None of it needed to happen that way.
Luxon should not be supporting the ACT vanity project. When it fails, Seymour will use the failure against Luxon as a point of difference for votes. Luxon is wet behind the ears. You can’t cure stoopid.
It is called compromise for the common good we all do everyday .
You have lost it Trevor. Compromise my arse. If Luxon actually said ‘no this is a stupid idea’ and the other coalition partner said as much, you think Seymour would leave the coalition?
It is a compromise , yes but not for the common good of all people. It’s only for the good of ACT and Seymours base. It’s politics stupid.
‘King of Pigs’, now that is really throwing down the gauntlet! Good nome de plume for Mitchell, he’ll be forever known as King of Pigs. But I feel sorry for the police for the often shitty job they have to do and their reputation had improved under the last government. Back to pigsville now tho. What an idiot Mitchell is these have always been peaceful marches, why is he trying to turn it into something it’s not. Well, I can tell you why that guy wants as much trouble on the street as can be.
And the Feralated Farmers can play daisy chains all over our highways with their green and yellow tractors when Labour was up. Where was the King of the Pigs then?
Giving the head of ground swell a blow job in the cab of his John Deere
I think Groundswill is apt for the King of Pigs.
The minister could just pretend that the Hikoi is just a group of farmers out for a drive in their tractors.
