23 Aug 2021: Scotty Gibson arrested at Ferrymead Countdown Supermarket, Christchurch, for not wearing a mask. Police use a Derek Chauvin / George Floyd
knee hold while his son tries to help.
The New Zealand Police are no longer "Policing by Consent", rather they are now "Policing by Diktat".
We are unsure at this point exactly how everything unfolded but it would seem members of the public may have been happy to step in and take control of Scotty's highly distressed son.
If anyone has more details please put them in the comments.
If this is what state enforcers are willing to do for violations of current mandates, what will it be like when they ramp up?
If this doesn't disturb you and highlight the lengths the police and the public are willing to go to in order to make you acquiesce, we are not sure what will.
