Māori are most likely to be incarcerated & no doubt will be the people most targeted by armed police. Arming police, especially in areas with high Māori population is completely unacceptable. Its a modern armed constabulary, it’s giving the coloniser a bayonet again. #ArmsDownNZ

One of the best ways individual pakeha can show solidarity for the BLM movement is to start doing some serious self-directed forensics on the ways in which they are attached to, participate in, benefit from, uphold and perpetuate white supremacy.
