Dangerous practice at crime scenes
DEAR EDITOR,
I sat and watch with amazement at the various live feeds of the shootout last night at Norton Street between the police and those who are supposedly bandits. Crime has really escalated and incidents must warrant our attention. What is disgusting is to see the scant regards onlookers have for their lives and others. This is a norm in Guyana and we must desist from this practice. Last night’s scene, bullets could be heard firing rapidly and the onlookers and media operatives could be seen heading closer to the scene, some walking openly and could be caught in line of fire (being hit with a bullet). Now the police are there doing their job and some have to turn their backs towards the threat and concentrate on getting the onlookers to step back away from the scene. Not only are the onlookers putting their lives at risk, they are also putting the lawmen’s lives at risk also by their careless actions. They onlookers should desist from this careless action. The way they operate, I could have sworn that they were going to deliver the bullets to the targets.
