I am a bit of a fence sitter about the military being used.
Possibly because my youngest son is a corporal in the Air Force currently.
I take the point about the military being deployed against its own citizens, but I also somewhat agree with Maggo in that the Police seem utterly powerless, although I place the blame for that on the woke Commissioner and not the force itself.
For me the time has long past dealing with this with the current “wait and see” approach.
If I am stopped by the Police in the future my approach to that might be: “you will let me off this eh?, because you let people break the law in Wellington, Picton, Christchurch . . .etc”
