City Constabulary needs to be reformed into a professional body

Mar 03, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Come May 4th of this year, vendors, businesspersons and indeed citizens at large of our capital city shall be relieved of a parasitic, menacing and avaricious senior member of the City Constabulary who shall be hanging up his badge that he uses as a symbol of oppression, his boots that he uses to kick down vending stands and trample on the produce and goods of poor entrepreneurs, and turn in the department’s pistol that he uses to terrorize persons including naïve young women, as he rides away never again to have such power.
Of course he shall be riding off into the sunset of his existence with his saddlebags filled with the loot that he accumulated with his decades of shaking down hundreds of hapless victims in and around the markets, on the pavements and city reserves, residents guilty of minor infractions of the city’s by laws, and motorists caught in the recent scandalous parking meter fiasco.
The irony of this all though, is that in clear resistance to the policy established by central government, members of the ‘Fantastic Four’ have been lobbying strenuously to this gentleman return to the job to continue to do their bidding. Astounding! It can only be hoped that when the City Constabulary sees the back of this bogeyman, that they undertake a radical transformation into a helpful, professional and effective police department and leave behind their current image which has been likened to the notorious Tonton Macoute of the past.
