Parent shocked by police driving

"Shocked". Give me a break. This parent must be an absolute drag.

How terrible...! Great to see so many comments bagging Stuff for reporting such dribble. Liked what one comment said about if it was so dangerous why has it taken since Nov to report it...! What's probably more dangerous is the bacteria obtained from teh ice cream machine...whatever you do, don't feed that stuff to your kids!! They might get fat and sick from the bacteria!! What about the parents not keeping an eye on their kids while the police cars are entertaining them. Hang the parents for not supervising their kids in a dangerous situation...!

Wonder if this idiot would be 'shocked' by other professional driving displays?

This is just shit stirring, from I saw in the video, the cars are braking going into the corners and are not loosing that much traction,they appear to be very much in control. And if those are the figure 8's that constiute 'boy racing' antics then the tugger that left the comment on You-Tube you mention is the biggest looser this century and should get himself a skateboard.

The perspective that is presented by the cell phone camera is lousy, everything appears very close but is not. Also note that the cars were mainly out in the centre of the field when at speed. and only travelling slow in the pickup and drop off area near the ice cream truck.

I bet all the kids that went for a ride had a great time, they were helping to raise money for the school that benefited the kids and showing the kids that cops are humans too and not the enemy.

Perhaps it would have been better if the Police never interacted with the public and we wrapped every one in cotton wool...

I cannot believe this is considered news. What a load of rubbish...a couple of police cars are driving around on a paddock...did I miss something here? This is typical of our media, trying to stir up a story when there isn't one. Lucky internet news sites are free cos nobody would pay for this rubbish.

yeahh... not really that dangerous if im honest... its more... just driving around in circles slowly.

Stuff.co.nz - Epic fail. David MacGregor - Epic Fail. NZ Police... please don't stop the good work you do at community fundraisers like this, because of parents who think they are "making the community safer" by publicly criticising .Seriously, you have to question ones motives when Mr McDonald doesn't elect to go directly to the police over an issue, but rather releases the footage online and so more people can "throw rocks" at the police. Then makes disparaging comments in the press, to get more attention. Ridiculous.

I agree that Mr MacGregor has clearly wasted the media time and also believe that there is better news out there than a poor attempt to chastise the Police for what appears to be a good PR stint. The donations were no doubt was going to the school which is why they were there in the first place. SOmething tells me that Mr MacGregor must have just recently gotten a speeding ticket and is bitter about it!

Grow some balls man. These guys were just having some fun with the kids. You wussy little PC dork.

I agree with most of the commenst made, that this has been blown way out of proportion by the media, and if it was so bad why was it not out in the media when it happened. Maybe Mr MacGregor has a vendetta againt the police, or is he just a real kiljoy. Anyway he has received his 2 minutes of fame, even though he has made himself look like a dork. I hope the Police do more demos like this to help with fundraising, me and my kids would definitly line up for the experience. Good on the police involved for providing a bit of fun.
