A layman’s perspective
Dear Editor,
One of the country’s top legal officials has told Kaieteur News that once it is established that the shooting was unjustified, all of the policemen who opened fire, as well as the one who ordered his colleagues to shoot, should be charged.
According to the official, once the ranks had acted in consort, it would not be necessary to ascertain which ranks fired the shots that killed the three protesters.
“Once the action is in consort…even if the bullet missed they should all be charged,” the legal official had said.
What are the military\police implications of not obeying an order given by the Officer in Command???
Court martial!
The ‘Drills’, ‘Left, Right, Left, Right’ et al that are routine in military and para-military training, are designed to elicit a conditioned response, to commands such as ‘Charge,’ ‘Fire,’ ‘Take cover,’ etc. Individual thinking is subsumed.
Your top legal official is indulging in subterfuge, trying to stymie the course of justice. The buck stops at the person(s) giving the order to fire.
