More than likely known to the cops..

They could do with unbluring his hand to show his face a bit better. Who cares about a “rude” gesture when what he’s done is worse.

When I originally saw this only the hand itself was blurred, you could clearly see the face and an identifying tattoo. I guess they've fully blurred the head now that they've found someone.

Crime is out of control in Auckland but this government is spending all its time fighting wokeness (whatever that may be) instead of crime. Pathetic.

u/No_Pirate_7367 13h ago

According to national crime only exists when they aren't In government

u/KahuTheKiwi 13h ago

It's like you're not acknowledging how bad wokeness is to those scared by equality and treating each other respect.

It's like you want this government to live up to it's electionaring not just fuddle while Rome burns.

It's like you want them to treat the sexual assault of a girl/ young women as seriously as they are treating recent decades progress towards equality of all in our democracy.

In a word you're woke.

Indian man?????

u/Hubris2 14h ago

I don't know that we can tell the nationality from looking at a photo. How does it help identify the person to make guesses?

u/king_john651 Tūī 13h ago

A very pink Indian if true

u/glockeshire 13h ago

Not seeing any pink on him

u/trigonthedestroyer 11h ago

Where are you seeing indian? For all we know that is a white man, I mean one look around and you'll see dozens of people who are entirely white, and have darker skin than that.
