Sometimes the police do good things. When terrorists kidnapped the Jewish athletes in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, it was the police officers who risked their lives to save them. They failed to save them, but I think most people would agree that the fact they tried makes their actions good and heroic.

But then, I see stuff like this:



"Waiuku Police went to an address looking for someone in relation to not completing community work. As a result we arrested a 44 year old male for having drug related pipes on him in the bedroom. This was not the person we were after, but I suppose you could say was a bonus."

What do you think? Do you think they were justified in this occasion? If someone has a couple of marijuana pipes and isn't causing anyone harm then I see no reason why they should be harassed like this.
