- Description
Shows Greg O'Connor, President of the Police Association, shoots a large hole in his foot. A bystander wonders whether shooting so fast is not the best way to convince people that the police are not trigger happy. Thought clouds in the cartoon suggest that the police had no choice and were forced to act. Refers to the accidental shooting of 17-year-old courier driver Halatau Naitoko, who was killed in crossfire on the Auckland motorway during a chase after an armed offender. Mr O'Connor said 'The Police Association is unequivocally supporting the police officers involved, who were forced to act and do the best job they could when faced with a very difficult situation'.
