Are The Criminals Posturing as Police?

Best-love-ever

I am beginning to wonder if it is criminals posturing as Police in the Guyana Police Force. Since the criminals getting away from right under the police's nose all the time it has to cast doubt in the right thinking mind...

Taken from Stabroek News:...

The classic epitome of the police force's failure and thus Ms Teixeira's burden is the complete inability of the force to make any impact via professional action and investigations. Mr Rambarran's killing is a prime example. He was ambushed by four men, fatally shot in a hail of gunfire, his attackers hijacked a vehicle and fled to West Ruimveldt yet the police force which has several stations in and around these areas seemed completely oblivious to what was going on and had no beat-duty cops or patrols near to the scene. Furthermore, up to yesterday morning the police had not even had one suspect in custody. To put it politely they were completely at sea and lacked the barest whiff of intelligence on this matter. This scenario applies for dozens of incidents in recent months, both serious and non-serious. This is the milieu in which Ms Teixeira wants the business community to do more. No, Ms Teixeira, it is the police force and your ministry which must do moreĆ¢€¦ and soon. The police have to begin producing results. The force must apprehend suspects, gather evidence and win prosecutions so that the quartet who so easily ambushed and killed Mr Rambarran would think many times before doing it again and know that if the crime is committed there is a great likelihood that they would be caught, prosecuted and jailed for an appropriate period.
