So how many gang members are staffing the checkpoints?
Newshub reports:
Harawira said, however, “we’ve had to stand down about half of our people” from helping to provide that protection following the vetting process.
“That’s really killed us,” he told Morning Report on Wednesday.
This suggests that half the members of the self-appointed border patrol failed Police vetting. Isn’t that rather concerning?
“Our people, over the last 18-20 months, have included bus drivers, gang members, doctors, lawyers, mothers, teachers – all sorts of people. Now, all of a sudden at the last minute, it got dropped on us that everyone had to be vetted.”
I wonder what the relative proportions are of say doctors and gang members on these checkpoints?
