‘Auckland public immune to news of violence’
PA Auckland The Auckland public seems to be immune to news of violence, says Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jim Glynn, the acting Auckland police commander. He made the comment after visiting Constable David Archibald, of Papakura, who is recovering in Middlemore Hospital from an abdominal stab wound, suffered while on duty in Manurewa early on Monday morning. “It (the incident) received a modest mention in news media circles, which is really a reflection of the immunity within society within Auckland,” said Mr Glynn. “Although I have strong nostalgic feelings about Auckland, having served here during the mid-19505, I can see an abrasiveness and aggression in society which does not befit Auckland or any other city,” he said. “I have worked in Christchurch as Christchurch city commander, and as deputy district commander in Wellington, but I believe these cities have a long way to go to catch up with Auckland. “We hope they never catch up,” he said.
