The town's police chief was hit in the head with a crowbar but was OK.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/24/hatfields-vs-mccoys-the-s_n_267718.html"><P>Hogue said the rioters were "throwing jack irons, throwing tire irons, anything they could get their hands on."
