In my view, Commissioner Coster is handling the situation in Wellington, commendably.
Police are the meat in the sandwich.
This not the first time in recent history that police have
found themselves in the middle of civil disobedience created by politicians and
which, in the case of where Red Squad found themselves in 1981, civil
war.
Commissioner Coster did not create the problem in
Wellington.
The Government created the cause for the original protest in Wellington last week where former National M P Matt King was the stand out among a crowd of mostly reasonable Kiwis registering their disapproval of MANDATES.
