Biker knocks out cop

From the Manawatu Standard:

Biker knocks out cop
By CAITLIN McKAY - Manawatu Standard | Thursday, 15 February 2007

A Foxton policeman was recovering at home yesterday after a beating from a biker he was questioning put him in hospital.

The constable received blows to the head and face after an interview with the disqualified driver on Tuesday night turned violent.

He was released from hospital yesterday.

The offender was taken to the Levin police cells and collapsed soon after. He was also taken to Palmerston North Hospital and was discharged later.

A 21-year-old man appeared in Levin District Court yesterday charged with unlawful taking, assault with intent to injure and resisting police arrest. He was remanded in custody to reappear today.

Assaulting an officer carries a penalty of imprisonment.

The officer was directed to a Foxton address after neighbours complained about a man riding a motorcycle down Avenue Road without a helmet.

While the officer questioned the 21-year-old man, he became aggressive and threatened the constable.

Central police district area rural commander Inspector Mark Harrison told the Manawatu Standard yesterday the pair had been talking "amiably" before the situation deteriorated.

"There was nothing to suggest the officer missed any signs before the man lashed out."

The officer was then punched in the head, face, ribs and then hit from behind before losing consciousness.

He came to a few minutes later.

Neighbours alerted police promptly and back-up arrived.

Insp Harrison said there may have been a second offender.

The officer had attended the address on his own, Insp Harrison said.

This was common practice, he said.

Rural officers tended to have more policing experience in a variety of situations, Insp Harrison said.

Assaults against police were unfortunately "quite commonplace", he said.

But the best weapon was an officer's mouth and simply talking to people, Insp Harrison said.

Police faced potentially aggressive situations every day, often arising from innocuous situation.

"Location is no barrier. Police aren't immune - assaults can happen anywhere anytime."

Police receive staff safety tactics training every few months, Insp Harrison said.

Foxton police would like to thank residents for the quick response to notify police of what was happening.

In the New Zealand Police annual report for the year ended June 30, serious assaults against police have increased from 210 in 2000 to 331 last year.

Meanwhile, all other assaults against police have stayed much the same at 1789.

Minor assaults included pushing and shoving while serious assaults required hospital treatment.

[MikeL]

Just shows what unthinking use of language can do. Was the offender riding his bike at the time? If he had been driving a car and a complaint had been made about his driving which resulted in a police visit to his home and the subsequent assault of the police officer, would the headline have read "Driver knocks out cop" or even "Motorist knocks out cop"?? I doubt it.

Unconscious prejudice.

The officer has my sympathy. Nobody should be subjected to that sort of behaviour.

[Patrick]

Yeah, it probably would make the headlines... I see he stole the bike too perhaps? (charged with Unlawful Taking). He should bew charged with aggravated assault which has a much higher penalty.

[Beemer]

But of course he will next feature on the front page of the Standard, giving 'his' side of the story... which will no doubt include how the cop physically abused him and how he did actually have a helmet on, and how the neighbours are all interfering busybodies... oh, and he was probably denied a Chopper when he was a child, by someone in uniform, so now he hates everyone...

[R6_kid]

i thought mikey had sold his bikes...

[doc]

Too young to be a "Patched" member of the Hog club. Hope so anyway, might have been returning from the Hog Rally.

[The_Dover]

i thought mikey had sold his bikes...

hence he stole one you retard

[doc]

hence he stole one you retard
You seem bitter Ben....share it with us we are all here for you man. This retard bends over for FINN every friggin day. And I thought I had problems with livestock

[Dafe]

Police Officer?

What a load of shit. He's a revenue collector looking to make the government a few more dollars.
Anyway, The government don't give a shit about the cops anymore anyway.

What about the off duty officer that got done over in his driveway last week.
The cops wife rang the Pigpen about 5 times to try and get some assistance for him.
Turns out the cops came around 7 hours later.

Those 5 foot 2 coppers don't wanna end up walking into a fight with a 5 foot 4 angry man (or woman)! 7 Hours is a reasonably good safety margin.
Not much their ticketing skills could do anyway.

Actually - The truth is. I walked past a 5 foot nothing cop today!

It just ain't right!

[Meanie]

Shows the mentality of some of these arseholes, and sounds like he was high on something the prick deserves the beating the cops will give him in the cells
I hate getting tickets as much as the rest of you and i am one of the first to complain about revenue collecting but i am sick to death of the unnecesary violence that has become part of our way of life and encouraged in some households
What hapened to respct as our parents taught us the teenagers today dont seem to have any
Where are we heading and where will it stop, every day i worry about my children and what will face them as they grow up

I'm guessing he'll be speding some R&R time at Club Rangipo.

I'm sure he'll enjoy a beating from the cops. That way he'll be eligable for a tax payer funded compensation worth at least 80,000.

You can bet, the highly corrupt Department of Corrections will be providing plenty of advice to the prisoner on how to evoke the police to give him the bash. Those corrections lads will be setting up their cameras and prepping a sweet little 50/50 deal with the prisoner too. And the bonus for a smooth transaction will be Parole after 3 days and an eighty percent reduced prison term for good behaviour, plus drugs and porn at will.

Respect went out the door the day Labour introduced the no smacking/no enforcement policy for children.

[jrandom]

I smoulder with generic rage.

Exactly my point i raise my chidren the same, no jerk polotician is going to tell me i cant smack my children, they need to be taught respect and if a smack around the back side is what they need thats what they will get but never in anger
As for Rangipo my old man was a carpenter instructor there for about nine years it was like a holiday camp with three square meal a day and free board one guy choosing to go back by throwing a brick through a shop window and waiting for the police after being let out three days before christmas, he just wanted his christmas dinner
The problem is it is getting worse with the crimes becoming more violent and more people dying

[Toaster]

Actually - The truth is. I walked past a 5 foot nothing cop today!

It just ain't right!

They dropped all sorts of things to get their numbers up... height requirements - hence the pigmy 18 year olds they have now, intelligence (tests easier), fitness (easier for people too lasy to pull finger and get fit enough), criminal histories (some minor convictions allowed), the list goes on. All confidence building stuff for us public.

[terbang]

Maybe the cop should have worn a helmet himself..!

[spudchucka]

I'm off the front line now so my chances of being dealt to like that have significantly been reduced.

However, my last 8 months were spent on a two person section partnered up with a hobit like cop. I have no complaints as to their competency except for when you find yourself in a scrap.

There were a number of incidents that I dealt with over this time that could have gone either way simply because of my partners lack of physical abilities. Thankfully we were able to resolve all of those incidents without any injury to ourselves, but it could have very easily resulted in one or both of us being seriously hurt.

When there is just two of you and the nearest backup is 15 - 40 minutes away, (depending on where abouts in our area we were), you're wrestling with a huge, drunk, agro offender you need to know that your work mate is physically able to get the job done.

I don't have a problem with cops of small stature, I'd prefer it if every cop was 6 foot plus but in the current environment we have to do the best we can with what we get.

This just highlights further why cops today need tools like tazers, especially in rural areas where you often find yourself attending violent incidents on your own with no back up close by.

[spudchucka]

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Labour supporter...... But that is Sue Bradford's brainchild, and its still just a bill at this stage, not yet passed into law.

[Guitana]

What would a rampant rug muncher like Sue Bradford know about raising kids in NZ?? When I was in college we used to get the shit kicked out of us kept us in line though a bit of fear is a healthy thing Kids today got no respect !!
This spotty little cunt down the road from my place was busy kicking a soccer ball into the front of my hilux when i rode up the drive,I jumped off the bike and grabbed the little fuck and asked him what he thought he was up to!! The reply was you cant touch me I'm 15 and you'll go to jail so I took him down to his old man and abused the fuck out of him I could hear the kid crying like a bitch as I walked back up the road I could'nt touch him but his old man could!!

[dnos]

The offender was taken to the Levin police cells and collapsed soon after.

Good fucking job.:bash:

[Guitana]

Hows that MAN HO job going R6 ??? Had any customers yet????

Well I work with one of those '5 foot nothing' cops, he's as old as I am and the criminal fraternity are flat out scared of the little guy - he can (and has) flattened anybody who gives him a 'go', armed with pipe/knife or whatever.

But otherwise he's just a mild-mannered '5 foot nothing' amd I'm o.k. with him - it IS right.

[davereid]

The scariest cops I have ever met are asian.

They are so short, the barrel of the M16 they carry drags on the ground.

Unless its pointed at your head.

[toycollector10]

The pr*ck was on a stolen bike. If it had been your stolen bike you would be b*tching that A) the cops didin't turn up or B) they did but the guy was only 5 foot 2 and he took a pounding.

I had a bike stolen years ago. Recovered it myself and used a bit of agro in the process. Cops found out and I was lucky not to be arrested, but that's another story. Whakatane, 1976.

Can't "discriminate" on height... but I know a few "pygmies" that can flatten the biggest mofo...

The rest is spot on... lowered standards:shutup: ...

Gee mate, you really don't know who your politicians are do you?

Sue Bradford is and has been married to the same guy for years.
They used to live out west Auckland.
Sue was one of a few who help set up the "People's Centre" in Auckland city to help those in need. Be it with lawyer help or advise as long as you were on a lower income you fitted the bill to get help from them. They also had dentist, hairdressers or sorts of business that would offer very low or free service.

Sue also has children, one of whom, tradgically took his own life a few years ago, as he suffered with mental illness.

Sue Bradford a member of the GREEN party is the one who introduced the 'No smacking Bill'

Hope that clarifies a few things up for you.

She's not my politician and I don't like being told how to discipline my kids by the govt!!!

[crashe]

She's not my politician and I don't like being told how to discipline my kids by the govt!!!


She is trying to stop all the innocent kids being beaten to death.
She is trying to stop people swinging with the hands/arms or whatever else they use at full force and slugging the shit out of a little childs head and body.

So if you are not one of them that really hurts a child, then you aint got to worry, have you.


That is why the 'No smacking Bill" is still being disscussed in committee in parliament, as not all politicians agree with the wording of the bill as it stands today.

So they are sorting it out...... as a smack on the hand and bottom is ok.... but NOT with extreme force.

BTW she is a 'list MP'.

Well weve all seen how the govt handles families through CYFS I do beleive theres even a website dedicated to their incompetence they cant sort that out let alone govern what happens to kids getting smacked!! Farkin Scary if you ask me!!!

But that is the problem, she wants all forms of discipline banned, including a light smack on the bam/hand.

The problem is the judges who think it is OK for dad to beat their kid up with a baseball bat because they wouldn't eat their veges for tea/poohed in their nappy, etc...

But this is getting off topic, isn't it????

which is why it is still under discussion in committee in parliament to iron it all out.... this bill could take some time to get sorted out.


As to the judges...... they need to actually get a hell of a lot tougher and put these arseholes who kill the innocent kids away forever.



Back on topic........ biker who hit the cop...........

[Edbear]

Well, this is KB...:yes:

Just another bill to waste taxpayers money on!!
The violence is coming from poverty stricken families deal with that and no more problem!

Sorry mods...... for not keeping this on topic.


Dude you really have no idea do you.

Many of the rich people out there beat up there kids as well.
They are in stressful jobs and come home and take that stress out on their partners and kids.

So the bashings and killing of kids happen in all walks in life, whether you be rich or poor.

The rich seems to hide it better behind closed doors.
Kids or wives stay at home til the bruises are all gone.
The person who beats them up, know to hit them where the bruises dont show so much.


And NOW back to topic.

The biker who hit the cop..............

[spudchucka]

It should be dead easy to sort out. All they have to do is clearly define what is reasonable in terms of discipline and leave the crimes act as it stands, (no need to repeal section 59).

But the NZ way seems to be to overcomplicate everything or to not think for ourselves and just copy what they did in Denmark, Poland, Australia or where ever else seems to be the most PC at the time.

[Patrick]

Well, this is KB...:yes:

Bwahahahaha

Now... back on topic...

I see the skidmark "collapsed" back at the station...

I wonder if someone gave him a "special hug..."

[avgas]

kill him too - I'm sick of people wasting my time
unless he begs for mercy - he doesnt get to go to prison.
Make him cry on national television saying that he will change.
If he makes it to round 2 - do the same again, but this time remove a finger first.
Round 10 - kill him no mercy.
I mean, if i have to lose my license for 6 months, pay $1K in fines and possibly lose my vehicle for speeding, why cant they even it all the way up.

[McJim]

You know of course that they've got the wrong fella in the cells don't you? :rofl:

[The_Dover]

You know of course that they've got the wrong fella in the cells don't you? :rofl:

yeah, they locked the cop up for being a fag and taking a pasting from some kid!!

[maybe]

Hang im:rockon:

But otherwise he's just a mild-mannered '5 foot nothing' amd I'm o.k. with him - it IS right.

I'm abit more realistic. I like the term - "A good big man will always beat a good little man." Obviously when talking about things of physical nature.

I can't help but also notice how you see alot more reports these days about cops getting done over. I also think it's obviously because the 5 foot nothing guy and girl cop doesn't offer the same level of deterance as the two 6 foot 3 male officers.

To me - It's not at all right. I don't like lowering standards.

I always liked the higher standards of the days of old.
Just like I liked strict schools with strapping/caning. I like strict standards.

I don't like todays politically correct stance. It's for the weak!
I also think that anybody who likes this new politically correct stance is either just thick or just relieved that there is an opportunity for people just like them now.

[Patrick]

Could also have something to do with the new age kids who have absolutely no respect for any form of authority, who can do what they like, when they like, coz no one can do anything about it or touch them... like they do in schools - the learning grounds...

[SixPackBack]

After reading the shit fight thread over the honda riders club not paying for dinner an alarming similarity is evident. Only one side of the story is being aired, and we assume that because one of those involved is a cop he must be blamless.

Think again, many of us have been at the receiving end of Police lies.

And no I do not support beating anyone, just a point to ponder is all.

[scumdog]

I await with bated breath for a rebuttal from the alleged thief in which he denies stealing the bike or starting any verbal or physical confrontation with the brutal (but probably undersized) copper. :whistle:


However I'm not good at playing devils advocate and suspect the twat was in reality a bike stealing, cop bashing low-life slack-jawed improvident lack-witted oxygen thief. - but then I could be construed as biased by some (and not a realist):wait:
