As a retired police sergeant thank you for identifying this commissioner for what he is. Needs to go asap
Totally agree with you about that 👍
Agreed Warwick.!
If covid didn't make it clear how incompetent Kevin the boot licker coster was.....
Yes Sir!
So glad your retired 🤣
The cost of getting rid of Mummy's boy Coster now, would undoubtedly be a sound investment for New Zealand
@@brucecouper Luxton won't do it If you want to know WHAT A WOMAN is just look at Luxton
@@alistermacpherson7120 You're not making any sense Al !!
@@stevehughes1510 No you miss the point The Coalition WONT fire Coster,because action speaks louder than words.
@@alistermacpherson7120 That doesn't make sense either.
Coster was appointed by hyper-woke Ardern. Says it all about the man. Birds of a feather.
Exactly 💯
Aren't they cousins?
Cuddles Coster never should have been in this role.
Thank you to Ms Arden ( his supposed cousin).
What worries me the most is not who appointed him, but who keeps him in the position of commissioner, that’s the big problem here.
yes they are cousins..
I love the word “independent “. As a former detective Michael, I greatly appreciate you speaking up about this. The problem is not just Coster however, it is also executive members of police that have become radicalised as activists for the left. Former police commissioner, Mike Bush kicked the lefts agenda off in earnest, and Coster ran hard towards the try line when he was passed the ball. Getting rid of Coster would be a good start but other executive members both sworn and nonsworn need to be exited forthwith once he is.
Well said... It has been apparent for a long time that the justice system has been highly-politicised with a Left-wing and Woke agenda. The socialist Ardern government really pushed the Woke agenda. Unfortunately, I am not expecting much from the Coalition. They have shown themselves to be weak.
Insider whistleblower. Thankyou.
Every government department is now riddled with woke lefties who do not understand that a public servant is there to serve the people and the elected government of the day. They are not there to enforce their brand of politics on the government. If they don’t want to do that job, then they need to go.
The deep state permanent bureaucracy, maybe normies will start to sit up & listen now that this destabilization agenda is coming to our country, kicked off by adern in 2020
I knew Bush was dodgy thanks for confirming it and now is a government appointed inquiry mole on things he knows nothing about still sucking the nipple all the way to the bank
Thank you for your work Michael Laws
Thank goodness for the Platform. I think I would go crazy if all I could listen to was the woke mainstream media. I feel so frustrated with our one eyed mainstream media.

Thank you thank you thank you
Isn't it brilliant.
I've noticed that we New Zealanders never use the word corruption when speaking of our own country. But we need to get real... Coster hiring activists to report a biased conclusion is corruption. Pure and simple corruption. Corruption is defined as... "corrupt or dishonest proceedings." or "perversion of integrity." Coster is guilty on both counts.

@@alistermacpherson7120
Wow... I don't need to study law to know two things. 1 His behavior fits the definitions. And 2... Corruption isn't a criminal offense. It is a violation of the social contract that binds us all.
Also when people study law... they normally don't "make an announcement"... have you taken your medication today? Or perhaps my comment was so on point that you couldn't quite piece together a rebuttal so you had to just settle for the ad hominin?

FFS. I drove a taxi in Auckland for 13 years, I owned and ran a cafe in Auckland for the next 6 years, then I built houses for 8 years, and then I did renovations and building work for people. The only problems I had, driving taxis, in the cafe, and doing building work for people, were with Maori people. Them trying to not pay or punch me in the taxis (ex champion boxer so I surprised them a bit) them making a mess and not taking responsibility for it in the cafe, and them not paying for work done, until I made them, with the building work - (I make everyone pay in advance now, saves the hassles). Obviously I had many Maori passengers, customers and clients over the years who were perfectly normal people, but the fact is, all, every one, of the problems i encountered, were with Maori people. Am I racist ?

Nothing to do with Freemasons, everything to do with Ardern and nepotism- she appointed her cousin as Police. Commissioner, note also , wasn’t Tova either or Jessica the pretend pretend Journalists a former flat mate of Comrade Ardern’s ?
Unfortunately the coalition Government is so busy trying to fix the economy and education and health systems destroyed by Ardern / Hipkins - I am sure they will turn their attention to making the Police head office less racially biased as they clearly are ( but they are not biased in the direction that the Main stream media are trying to suggest)

Should it come as any surprise that a group of people called together to form a report on racial bias, should in fact have racial bias themselves??!

Well said Michael. Andrew Coster was a political appointment, by the last woke government. What did we expect. He will be gone in April 2025. We can only hope the next commissioner, is more grounded.
Bring back Mike Bush
Peter Marshall was the best Commissioner we ever had.
@@MichaelLaw-t1c bush is old school ,, " by any means " bad and very corrupt too ,,
@@WindpowerWaikato Let's see who Mark Mitchell appoints,I can't wait,if he or she has half the brain of Mark we will be fortunate
Well, Coster was appointed by Ardern so we couldn't expect must else really.
Someone instructed the police to step down from their duty as crowd control at the Auckland womens rally a couple of years ago. Puting our women at risk Of harm from the other side. Our women were harmed. I believe that instruction came from the commissioner, who I have never received a reply from regarding my simple question.
Oh l agree...despicable ....
Well, any reply would have been an excuse or an outright lie.
Totally agree with your summation Mr Laws. There is no longer any place for Liberality within this nation’s Police force. If a crime is committed it should be prosecuted, no matter who committed that crime. Coster has shown his unwillingness to act without fear or favour and instead to act more as a benevolent uncle. He has no place in a modern Police Force because his attitude only encourages crime. As we all see on a daily basis.
Why would anyone want to work for a boss like that.
It is a pity you can not place that comment in front of those Men & Women, former NZ Police who have "crossed the ditch"- to serve in Australian Police and have done so since Coster became 'top dog', those numbers increasing in the last few months. Also what is interesting (and again your comment should be addressed to Mark Mitchell/ Min. of Police) - because he has been asked the question - "How many have left (for Australia) .."to which he replied - nothing to see here"! Coster has also been asked the same question again the answer "Nothing to see here.."! Me thinks "not all is well in Rome" and maybe the Min of Police needs to "step up and/or step out".
Well many dont and have left for Aussie.
You have hit the nail right on the head. It's always somebody else's fault. The police aren't racial.
Well said Michael , Coster must go now
Great journalism Michael, devil is in the details.
Agree entirely. He should have been replaced on day one of the new government
@@stephendunn1738 Another deluded dreamer
He’s “stepping down” as police commissioner and by the sound of it that can’t happen soon enough.

It’s to woke to be in control
Coster is a disgrace. How he handled the Wellington Freedom Camp was criminal, and there should be an inquiry into the way the peaceful protesters were attacked, beaten, gas bombs, sprayed in your eyes...innocent old and young people, they didn't care. No police ID numbers or names were all covered up. Now that is not normal practice or legal, you must show your ID number. I will never trust the police again or the government for their major role in the abuse, the Freedom Camp was shown by the very people who work for the New Zealand citizens...the police and the Ardern government are the biggest gang in NZ. I don't believe the government has changed. I challenge the new government to start an inquiry.
Man, you buggers were given every chance to disperse
That was UN soldiers working for jabbsinta who got paid millions for that why control yeah right
Instructed by Mallard, Arden, and the rest of those people in the government at that time.
Lol😅😅😅😅😅@@NA-sj9jy
biggest gang 😂🎯
Governor General needs to fire coster. And of course because our system is a little broken, that means the PM needs to tell the GG to fire him.
😂😂😂😂 no way will no ⚽️s tread lightly Luxon do that he is terrified that someone mite not like him
@@paton57 The people he is worried about already don't like him and won't like him no matter what he does, and the people that wish he would man up don't like him... Seems like a winning strategy.
Absolutely right
@@paton57 yes, he seems far to concerned on trying to keep the people who didn't and won't vote for him happy.
@@greybuckleton exactly
So listening to the names and profiles of the panel I can safely say we can dismiss their findings and that Coster should be also.
Yet another compounding reason why 600k (and rapidly growing) Kiwis, now call Australia home. The extreme levels of wokeness & reprehensible social engineering has truly stuffed a once great nation.
As you know, America, Britain, Canada, Aussie, Europe, NZ and many more are facing rapidly changing culture.
Spot on Michael, very well said
Should also be asking why Mark Mitchell kept him on especially when during the election said he was going to remove Coster....
Thanks Michael I know police inspectors detectives and senior Sargent's they all know coster has sold his soul to the devil
he is the sort of coward who is well beyond where he should be in life. Very sick. Got to go and very brave of you to say Michael. Keep shining the light the darkness cannot survive in.
@@J.Smith-rc6wh I see today that Police have asked to find $35million in savings,by The Coalition,who won't pay Police extra,yet are happy to wave goodbye as Police leave for Australia.I thought The Coalition were going to get NZ Back On Track?apparently The Track they are talking about is the one they are sharing with AT & their train service
@@alistermacpherson7120 The Coalition has been operating for about 7 months. The Election was late in the year and it took a month to broker a deal. The Government came back from the break end of Jan. 2024.
He has to go like yesterday, if that list wasn’t made up it’s a Bloody disgusting all one sided before the inquiry even started .
The most softest police minister in history! Gangs and criminals are laughing at his approach. Which adds gasoline to the issue. He's not fit for employment in nz police
A brainwashed woke, and on $700,000 a year, a very expensive one.
Well said Michael
I'm reluctant to say anything negative about our brave police force. It was Labour who created the wild west culture in this country and Coster went along with it is all I will say.
Crime has increased during his tenure. We can all see that, and yet, he continues in the job as the most inept Police Commissioner, ever.
And is paid $700,000 into the bargain!
I was extremely disappointed with him. Most unsuitable for the top leadership role, in my view.
@@iainseymour-hart3347 Who cares about your view

No wonder many are heading to Australia
Coster should have left with Arden. He has overstayed. Shameful wearing the uniform.
With Kiri Allan. NZ SIS are looking at Coster. He and others have Obstructed Justice and been caught.

Yip totally agree with you Michael Laws
You got to weed these woke weeds out of all departments before the next election!
I heard part of his interview on the radio, and I was both shocked and laughing at what the idiot was saying. I thought I was listening to a Far-left activist, instead of a Police Commissioner.
Very well put Michael. And of course there will be people who don't want to except any of what you said because it doesn't fit their political thinking. They won't take a step back and except you maybe right and look at the stats.
I’ll tell you what my view is, Michael: he’s gotta go! Period!
So the Hairless leader & incompetent Police Minister have done nothing
@@alistermacpherson7120 Your message is very badly worded. Have you heard of punctuation?
One of the panel, bio from the NZP page:
A kaupapa Māori researcher and activist, Anne is focused on the transformation of New Zealand’s colonial justice system with an interest in constitutional transformation, prison abolition and healing historical and intergenerational trauma.
I'm sure the interests and methods of rational, dispassionate enquiry are fully served.
Friend on mine. Riding her bike down a quiet street when some Maori guy coming down the street goes over to her and smacks her full force in the face. She falls of her bike He then give her a couple of kicks in the head. Kiked her teeth out she speeds thousands of dollars at the dentist shes so traumatized she had to sell her bike cuz she won't Ride it anymore. Files a statement with the police .And the police do nothing. I believe they knew where he lived But never made an arrest. These other stories out there like this why was he not arrested.
A great way to cause more division. Sorry that happened to your friend.
when i was 7 a white boy stole my toy model plan he was rich this was the beginning of facing a white entailed world i was brought up loving so i sliept with them intead of bashing them. Give u black grand children
@@debbiestaite3184 Thank you .I'm not sure why People continue to say everything is so racist when Maori have got so much help from the system here in New Zealand . But apparently nothing is ever good enough. When you walk in everyday life it appears that. No matter what you do. You'll still be a racist. And quite frankly a lot of people are over it when situations like this never get dealt with And they never ever take a look at their own culture.
The standard "pakeha" experience in New Zealand.
@@itsjustweard2328 "Racism" - the great Zionist buzzword and only Whites can be racist. Ever wondered why???
Coster should have been given the boot as soon as the new government took over, ALONG with ALL the heads of government departments and unions, and we would NOT be in the mess we are still in
Yep gotta go, mitchell should have biffed him last year
Was Coster influential in ending the long running TV series Police 10-7? Portraying compulsive liars, crooks, thieves and thugs on colour TV must have been hard for him to swallow. Dog Squad, Coast Watch, and Border Patrol must be regarded by him as racist too. He'd have had Captain Cook banged up for life if he had a time machine, for destroying the former paradise of New Zealand. (The 80 roa name hadn't been invented then.) Ruined the booming shrunken head export trade.
Actually, during the Adern government one of the Maori Party MPs (I think it was) complained that Police 10-7 was showing too many Maori offenders and making the race look bad. Although there was no evidence the program was showing a disproportionate number of Maori offenders, thereafter it showed mainly white offenders. That was actual racism, providing a false portrayal of the frequency of white offending. Prior to that the portrayal was probably accurate.
@@Empathiclistener Here's a radical idea - don't do the crime. "Look bad" they were bad. The rate of Euro-Maori offending is disproportionate to their numbers and the figures don't lie.
@@ruthmoreau6419 Yes, that's more or less what I was saying.
Each one of those academics should be investigated for academic malfeasance. If they twisted the data to come to a preconceived idea, they should all be sacked and banned from any further public body positions and funding.
How does one do that please?
They probably didn't twist the data but they twisted the research design to provide data to fit their beliefs, and twisted the interpretation and presentation of those data. I'm not sure there was anyone on the panel with the skills to do scientifically valid research. If there was, that would be malfeasance, as it would be by any research advisor who provided them with the study's design. It was clearly intended to provide desired results instead of valid results.
@@gordondickson6901 Google
The day he and ardern turned the police on the anti mandate protest is the day he should have been sacked
Ole' Cuddles Coster, surprised they kept him on.....................
Coster is an embarrassment to a proud group of kiwi heroes. An appallingly poor piece of research from pseudo-academics.
Absolutely 💯 So glad he's going. Thank you Michael Laws.
The police association needs to ask its members for a vote of confidence in the commissioner. My pick is there would be no confidence vote, and the minister would need to take note.
In Australia we put up with same rubbish about police being racist.
Got to go asap
Worked for police for 15 years, seen few commissioners, Costner is the most left political one we had. Things went downhill since he arrived, like moral, efficiency, reputation.
Come on, he was a friend of a friend of Jacinda Ardern, and collecting 700k a year for it.
hyper-woke LOCKDOWN Ardern.
Goodness reminds me of Police planting evidence in the Arthur Allan Thomas case to get an outcome. A bit of independence would be nice.
Normal Māori victim bullshit. In prison because they commit crime. Are we that thick?🤷♀️🤷🏼
COSTER>TRAITOR
How can someone be retained by the coalition who is prepared to act in a treasonous way towards his workforce, but wait, is Luxon a blue version of the last red leader who quit suddenly?????? Well put Mr Laws.
They don't work for the taxpayers
On the basis of what has "been disclosed by Michael", I am not disputing the data, but what interests me, is are we, here in New Zealand, starting to see "a lean toward Maori, by the NZ Police, as being a separate entity on a Legal platform". The reason I pose this question, is that in England "a 2 tier Policing issue has arisen and brought to the attention of the UK Public" (and anyone who surfs YT, will have seen the multitude of posted videos on this) - whereby the Police there are "more" sympathetic to the Muslim Community ignoring their illegal actions, yet the rest of the population gets "lots of Police attention" - this action predates recent riots. Are we, now going to see the same actions, implemented and led by Commissioner Coster? Keep in mind the Police "are supposedly undertaking Hate Speech Training", something "denied" by Mark Mitchell, yet our Police have staff who are in constant contact with those "who report hate speech violations (yes here in NZ)"- in England & Scotland- they do have that Law, that is strongly enforced, by the Police.
It’s all about your character in society.
Be honourable
No foul
Take responsibility
Yep, he has to go. A woke Ardern appointment.
Same reason they canned Police 10-7 to many Maori being targeted and portrayed on tv as being Criminals .
Why do photos of the Police Commissioner look like they would be more at home in an alphabet pin up calendar?
He doesn't appear to have/exude an air of authority for his position.
If he has a low opinion of those who are employed under him, why is he still there and better yet, why has/was nothing done beforehand, to rectify the issue he thinks, is there?
I thought Coster was OK because he recalled 1981 (when a Red Squad thug broke 2 of my ribs for protesting against racism in Sth Africa, while I was running away from him) and thus didn't IMMEDIATELY break up the Beehive process. But then ... I don't know what happened to Coster, but for some reason he turned into what he now seems to be. He needs to resign. And if he won't resign, he needs to be fired.
Is Costner a WEF member? Is he a Common Purpose alumni?
Heard a woman on ZB news this morning blaming colonisation for the findings of this report on Police...
Colonisation… so the rule of social laws ?
@@AnnSmith-u9c Not the way I interpretated it, more along the lines of the R word so freely thrown about by TPM et al..
DEI hires.lies,lies,lies,darm lies and statistics. Sound like a stacked panel.
Contemporary mind virus has shown up again. Wearing (on ceremonial occasions) a uniform. Is there a Minister who has the sense to get rid of this woke warrior?
Intersectionality is just a religion, it should have no place within government. Getting rid of Coster would require a petition on the grounds that the police report is inherently politically biased because it uses intersectionality.
My experience of Coster is that he cares nought for the welfare of uniformed police. He has never been capable of doing the job of leader. He is selfish and greedy, feathering his own nest with the bodies of those he is meant to lead
Why can't a new government appoint a new police commissioner
Because of obvious bias this report should be thrown in the bin
Coster appears to be an inept commissioner with an agenda to protect the Maori dimension.
In industry he would be put onto " special projects" , in Japan he would become a "Window person"
Go the platform
Lucky the crimes are not living in Singapore. Oh by the way Singapore is the safest place in the world isn't it. And the cleanest place. And loads of clever people and companies.
I am pretty sure Coster was a Jacinda appointment, she got rid of the previous Police commissioner as soon as she got into office - since then, the incidence of criminal offences has sky rocketed - a simple solution might be to remove Coster and replace him with a new commissioner
Once Were Warriors was a documentary.
Pleece commissioner.
If anybody has difficulty understanding what a self- forefilling proficiency is, then look no further then this report.
Police Commissioner Andrew Coster needs to go......now.
