| 1122808 | 2010-07-27 06:16:00 | A Hawke's Bay police officer is in hospital with facial injuries after he was punched, stomped on and had his radio smashed into his face this afternoon. Clive community constable Alan Daly is currently in Hawke's Bay Hospital with facial injuries after he was assaulted by two people he had stopped in a car in the small settlement, 10km north-east of Hastings. Hastings Area Commander Inspector Dean Clifford said Mr Daly had been alerted to a possible stolen vehicle carrying two people who had allegedly been involved in a shoplifting spree in Napier. Around 3.15pm Mr Daly saw the car driving through Clive and followed it into a cul-de-sac. Mr Daly was speaking to the male and female in the car when the male got out and king hit Mr Daly from behind and knocked him to the ground. The female occupant of the car stomped on him and began smashing Mr Daly's police radio into his face. Mr Clifford said other police staff who had been alerted to the vehicle quickly descended on the area and the two people were arrested. They are currently in custody and are being spoken to by police. It is believed Mr Daly was able to radio for help at some stage during the assault. Mr Daly was conscious when ambulance staff arrived and he was taken to hospital. He has a suspected broken nose and cheekbone. Mr Clifford said further details about the incident were yet to be confirmed. "We have only spoken to Alan briefly and we have yet to ascertain the circumstances of the assault and why it may have happened. "Obviously this is a very distressing time for Alan and his colleagues and we are doing everything we possibly can to support him and his family," Mr Clifford said. Mr Daly has been a police officer for over 25 years and has been the sole charge officer at Clive for 10 years. He is married with children. He is well known in Hawke's Bay and has been heavily involved in rugby and Hawke's Bay Search and Rescue for many years. Released by: Kris McGehan, Eastern Police District Communications Manager.

The opposite one is the the things you see when you dont have a gun. If cops carried guns here 2 things will happen the gun will get pulled off the frightened cop and used against himself, god dont go anywhere with the concept of chicks and guns. 2 innocent bystanders are going to get splattered in bullets. |

| 1122812 | 2010-07-27 07:23:00 | More scum are growing fearless of the law now they are stupid enough to assault and even kill police officers. I sincerely recommend shooting them on the spot to wipe *******s from the gene pool and make the world just a little bit nicer. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

| 1122814 | 2010-07-27 08:04:00 | If the cops carried guns people would respect them a bit more. If they killed a couple of low lifes to get the message across that would be OK in my book. A few judges need to be assaulted and robber first. How can you teach respect in schools anymore - the cat is out of the bag. |

B They will respect the GUN only when it is POINTED at them, NEVER the carrier. The Police in this country had lost the respect of the vast majority of people in this country by the time it became clear they had framed A.A.Tomas. The riccards, dwyer, skipton, skollum, mess further dirty's a very dirty dog. You will not gain respect for them by giveing them more guns. more police with guns = more dead police people and more dead innocent members of the public, followed by more police coverups and white washes. :annoyed: |
