Despite our ideas of it being the perfect little city, Christchurch is not immune to crime, as illustrated by a recent shooting of two policemen and a police dog during an attempted drug bust. The dog's dead, the policemen are recovering from their injuries, but the gunman doesn't have a scratch on him...because New Zealand police don't carry guns. What kind of country issues their law enforcement agents pepper spray and tasers instead of a real weapon? It seems both beautifully innocent and frighteningly naive...
