| Message | Yes, right we're going to "shoot down every criminal". Which is better: A civilian officer minimally trained, possibly trigger-happy or a professional highly trained (intimidating) officer with the ability to combat any threat and who knows only to use his or hers weapon as an absolute last resort? Should we work towards a civilian police force or a professional one? |

| Date | 06:13:28, May 01, 2005 CET | From | Federalist Labour Party | To | Debating the Professional Police Bill. |
| Message | I mean, it's better to have a professional highly trained officer with the ability to combat ANY threat to society, than a minimally trained "civilian" with a gun and badge. |
