1Shoot – don't shoot "Shoot - Don't Shoot": A former top police officer says Constable A should never have shot Steven Wallace in Waitara last year. However the police defend Constable A's actions. Correspondent: Kim Webby Producer: Damien Comerford The New Zealand Police investigation and report that justifies the shooting of Steven Wallace by Constable 'A' has been slammed by a US expert and by a former New Zealand police sergeant. They both say that when faced with the decision "Shoot; Don't Shoot" Constable 'A' made the wrong choice. 60 Minutes retained former Santa Monica police sergeant Frank Saunders to review the New Zealand Police report and the accounts of witnesses. Saunders is a cop who also killed in the line of duty. However his attacker was armed and shot first. What Frank Saunders has to say is controversial and disturbing, he believes the whole Waitara incident was totally avoidable and the subsequent investigation outrageous. As a police sergeant, Saunders trained rookie officers on when to shoot and when to hold fire and he says if Constable A had followed his training correctly, Wallace wouldn't be dead. 60 Minutes reporter, Kim Webby talks to Saunders and to a former New Zealand police sergeant who backs Saunder's views. Webby also puts the case to Superintendent Mark Lammas who stands by the Police report and the Constable who shot Steven Wallace. [10/06/01]

A couple of kiwis who are prime examples of this new health revolution are Suzanne Prentice, who has lost nearly half her body weight and become a champion body sculptor at the age of 43 and yoga guru Mande White, who, into her fifties, has a body that is the envy of women half her age. Cameron Bennett talks with these women about their lifestyles as well as several others who are saying yes to growing old gracefully and even disgracefully. [10/06/01]
