What planet is McVicar on?

'Dangerous mental health patients and volatile Maori or Pacific Islanders are not a Police creation. It is unfair and dishonest to try and make them the fall-guys
For Immediate Release:
Don't blame Police or Tasers for social failings says Watchdog
The Sensible Sentencing Trust says organizations and individuals critical of Police use of Tasers should look in the mirror before laying blame.
Trust Spokesman Garth McVicar was commenting after the Mental Health Foundation called for a formal review of police use of Tasers after figures released this week showed four out of 10 of those tasered in the past year were experiencing mental health problems.
But police say their use of force - including Tasers - against those suffering mental health problems is a symptom of a wider problem of how people with mental health issues are dealt with.'

He's trying to pretend he has something to say by way of reply, 'Dangerous mental health patients and volatile Maori or Pacific Islanders are not a Police creation.' Problem is that nobody has said they are. The issue that was raised is that 40% of those tasered in the last year were experiencing mental health problems and certainly not a suggestion that such illness was created by police.

Here McVicar shows how he goes for the low blow, instead of addressing with sound comment an issue that is of public concern, the treatment of the mentally unwell, he 'changes' the focus to safe ground for him -  support of the police. He sidetracks the debate to a issue of police operations when in fact the issue is of how we are dealing with the mentally unwell. He dresses this up with some accompanying issue of hysteria (bogey men) 'volatile Maori or Pacific Islanders.' His is the language of division. He cannot distinguish in his general myopia the difference between a person suffering illness or one deliberately breaking the law. He says correctly that the problem is not a police creation despite no one claiming that it is, using that to whitewash the real issue that dealing with the mentally unwell, unfairly or inappropriately (tasered) is a step backwards for many reasons but for one most relevant, using a more appropriate analogy that McVicars - the mentally unwell 'don't create' their own illness.

In a just society any group dissolved of compassion or humanity is a humiliation of the entire society, a step backwards. McVicar, sensing a foothold, begins a list - the mentally unwell, volatile Maori or Pacific Islanders and leaves the rest of us to wonder who else would be on the list if this idiot was emboldened enough to speak truthfully from his own, bigoted, frightened mind. The man is divisive. The man would lead others into beliefs that certain auto crash victims shouldn't be helped, that 'classes' of society should be punished for being poor, lacking in education or hope.

McVicar uses his crutch, he trys to frighten others into his conformity, to his own mind he 'champions' victims when in reality he doesn't speak for all victims he speaks for himself and his own ambitions - his is an unreasonable voice in times when reason is most needed. If there is anything to thankful for is that McVicar shot himself in the foot and those politicians mindful of the ease with which some members of the public are influenced by law and order issues, no longer take his calls, probably quietly take pleasure that McVicar destroyed his own credibility and that of his organisation by being a crook, and selective of other crooks in maintaining secrecy, whilst making accusations against others.
