The Police Association has asked the Race Relations Commissioner to retract his claim made on radio today. Photo / FileThe Police Association has called for Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon to retract his claim that "police are racist". Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking, Foon said the show did "target more brown people than white people so therefore it is racist". "That this country's Race Relations Commissioner would put the blame on police, and then double down on that, is a waste of an opportunity to consider all parts of this picture," Cahill said. "I think it's high time that a chewing gum show like Police Ten 7 was spat out of the New Zealand TV vernacular, because there's absolutely no need for it any more."
