<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3648821/Under-fire-judge-could-be-fired-in-US">Bill Wilson</a>, Supreme Court Judge;</li>

<li><a href="http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/police-association-applauds-restoration-right-stand-council/5/52985">Cops on Councils</a>!</li>
</ul>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;m over-reacting, but the idea of a police political party seems just ever-so-slightly fascist to me. Won&#8217;t this make the Police a lobby group, rather than a dispassionate enforcers of the democratic public will?</p>
