ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police are facing increasing violence from teenagers who have no respect for officers and don’t fear the consequences, says the Police Association.
OFFICER’S NOSE BROKEN IN ONE OF THREE ASSAULTS ON POLICE
In the past 10 days, police have been on the receiving end of violence and intimidating behaviour from young people in both Christchurch and Levin.
Police and ambulance workers who arrived at the scene of an out-of-control party at which Hannah Rossiter and Jane Young died in an alleged hit-and-run in Christchurch last week were pelted by bottles and rocks.
Officers had to don riot gear before moving in to close the party and disperse the 500-strong crowd.
They described the scene as being “like a war zone”.”
