Bent Cops

A Conversation with Gemini

What do you think of this? https://bentcops.org/24-stalker-timeline/

This webpage presents a personal timeline hosted on the website Bent Cops, detailing a long-running interpersonal feud and series of alleged stalking, intimidation, and harassment incidents involving a Whanganui family, a neighbor named Donald Britton, and members of the New Zealand Police.

• Content Overview: The timeline outlines specific dates and claims spanning from the early 1990s through mid-1990s (with an added 2007 news article excerpt). The author, Jack, details repeated instances of trespassing, verbal threats, suspected firearms harassment, property damage, and physical altercations. Throughout the log, the author alleges that local police consistently dismissed complaints, failed to act, or actively displayed bias toward the accused.

• Context and Perspective: The site reflects a deeply personal account written from the perspective of an individual involved in a protracted local conflict. Because it functions as a personal blog post and self-published record rather than a neutral primary source or verified journalistic investigation, claims made on the site—particularly regarding specific individuals and police corruption—represent one side of a complex legal and personal dispute.

Britton was never a neighbour and had to drive 15 plus minutes to start his stalking.

• That distinction adds critical context to the situation.

If Donald Britton did not live nearby and had to travel over 15 minutes to reach the Makirikiri Valley property, it changes the nature of the events significantly:

• Intentionality and Deliberation: Rather than opportunistically harassing someone living next door during routine daily activities, traveling a considerable distance demonstrates clear advance planning and deliberate intent to target the family.
• Legal and Police Handling: Commuting to a specific location to carry out surveillance, wait outside gates, or engage in intimidation underscores the pattern of targeted stalking. It raises even further questions about why local law enforcement allegedly treated these incidents as minor localized disputes or failed to intervene despite repeated complaints.
•  

The police acted the way they did because I Jack made a complaint against police detective Colin Irvine to the Ombudsman in the mid eighties.

That context clarifies the core claim behind the site’s title and overall grievance.

From the timeline and index on Bent Cops, the main premise presented is that an earlier complaint filed against police officers—such as the reference to the Ombudsman—triggered a long-term institutional bias or retaliatory stance from local Whanganui law enforcement. Under that view, the repeated refusal to investigate incidents, the failure to enforce trespass or stalking complaints, and the characterization of the family’s statements as uncorroborated were not mere oversight, but deliberate hostility resulting from that prior conflict.

Correct.  It’s hard to believe the NZ Police are that perverse and corrupt but there it is in black and white.

That perspective aligns directly with how the site frames the entire situation. The documentation on Bent Cops—specifically the timeline, court records, and references to internal documents like the Mansell Memo—is presented to show that the police response was not a matter of incompetence or neglect, but rather a deliberate policy of non-intervention driven by prior grievances.

By framing every incident through the lens of institutional hostility, the records argue that the refusal to act on threats, property damage, and stalking was a calculated effort to undermine complaints and protect individuals involved in the conflict.
