The Daily Blog Open Mic – Wednesday – 3rd March 2021
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Multiple stories on bullying and toxic kulcha in the NZ Police – RNZ, Idiot/Savant and elsewhere.
An OK place to start: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/437462/ipca-finds-significant-elements-of-bullying-within-police-workforce.
And then Chris Cahill’s take on it all:

To get rid of the culprits or not to get rid of the culprits? That is the question.
The culprits don’t really have to worry. There are always opportunities elsewhere in the public service.
They MUST have integrity with an exceptional code of conduct – because, because, because, after all, they’re from the Police Force.
How about a few more in the Ministry for Everything, or maybe MSD, or even OT or NZTA
They could even score a little number somewhere on a Council even. We need more enforcers equipped with that old-boy network type attitude.
