Police brutality and impunity
Dear Editor,
Please allow me space to have a brief letter published and perhaps have an answer to a very simple question.
It has been seen for years that the police get away with brutalizing persons and are not even charged.
The question I would like to have an answer to is this: Are there different laws for police and a totally varied set for the ordinary man?
Mr. Editor, I ask this question because we have seen and heard of Police beating /brutalizing persons and they are not or have not been charged. Just a little over a month ago I took two men to the Central Police Station and they filed a formal complaint against two police ranks, who were named and to date none of these beasts has been charged. The laws must be different for police!!!!
The men were told to make a complaint at the Police Office of Professional Responsibility and so they went. Not a word from that useless unit…to date.
We have read and seen pictures of a young man who said he was brutalized by the police. I wonder what will be the outcome.
I call on the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ramnarine and the Hon. Minister of National Security, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, to have police charged like any other person to stop the barbaric behaviour of some of the JOKERS in the force.
