Who were the good cops and the bad cops?

On Patreon, I have done a list of who were the good cops and bad cops in the McSkimming affair. I’ve managed to identify 90% of the bad cops by name. I note:

What is astonishing with this list isn’t just how many there were, but how senior they were.

The three most senior officers, all personally appointed by PMs Ardern and Hipkins comes out of this terribly.

Also showing bad judgement was a further Deputy Commissioner and two Assistant Commissioners. And several very senior non-sworn staff at Police HQ also come out looking badly.

So a Commissioner, three Deputy Commissioners and two Assistant Commissioners can’t be seen as just one bad apple.

It is worth reflecting that all three top cops appointed by Ardern and Hipkins turned out to either be a criminal (McSkimming) or incredibly bad at their jobs (Coster and Kura). A 0 out of 3 strike rate is not good.
