In both cases, those matters were made public and brushed aside. Is it any wonder that we should have subsequently observed the shooting death of a fourth form high school lad from the West Bank Demerara and the torture of a fourteen year old shortly after that? This is just the latest in a long string of episodes, but now as we can observe - not limited in the treatment of only particular ethnicities. Which is the very thing those who spoke out before warned against, for it was only a matter of time that all, regardless of ethnicity will be thusly dealt with.
Indeed sachin and squingy. Prak (Ramjattan) was crucified when he would speak out; the PPP kept saying he was defending criminals. Well at some point the chickens do come home to roost...quote:Originally posted by sachin_05:quote:Originally posted by squingy:

The monster created does not care about ethnicity its only a matter of time until it devour its creator....

Police forced my son to fetch a truck load of sand-mother alleges
AUGUST 21, 2011 | BY KNEWS | FILED UNDER NEWS
Bibi Fazeela Rayman of Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara is calling on Commissioner of Police Henry Greene and the Home Minister Affairs Clement Rohee to investigate some policemen who took advantage of her 15-year-old son. The mother of two said that her son Balkaram Teekram was sent to collect something on Friday last from a friend in the village and while on his way he was stopped by a jeep load of βblack clothesβ policemen who told him to jump into the vehicle.![]()
Bibi Fazeela Rayman
The woman said that residents who saw the incident informed her that her son willingly complied with the policeβs orders. She subsequently visited the Leonora Police Station where she explained what was told to her and after making enquiries about her son, she was told that he was at the La Grange Police Station. But after checking there and not finding her son, the woman made an official complaint and subsequently met with the Divisional Commander who ordered that the youth be brought to the Leonora Police Station after learning that he was in police custody. The lad was later released into the custody of his parents.
Yesterday the 15-year-old Balkaram Teekram told this newspaper that policemen in black clothing with large guns had stopped him on Friday, while he was walking on the road and told him to jump into their vehicle. The youth explained that he was taken into Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara where he was made to fetch sand into a yard for an hour. After the involuntary ordeal, the lad was taken to the Leonora Police Station where he was handed over to his parents. βThe police gave me a $1,000 before they bring me back.β
The woman is alleging that what had happened can be considered kidnapping since her son was made to go somewhere involuntary without even contacting any relative to tell them of his whereabouts. βI am going to the Ministry of Human Services and ask them if people children are just treated so cruelly,β She said.

Thank you squingy, I will pass this on. For points 2 and 3, have these been done anywhere else? Mind you, I am not saying it can't work, as I am no expert on security.quote:Originally posted by squingy:
This is my recommendation to a new government (Preferably an AFC lead GOG, of course!) of Guyana:
1. Enact legislation to specifically change the legal and procedural authority of the Police Service Commission so that it is not an impediment to needed changes in the operations of the police component within the general security sector. Also establish in law the independence of the operational authority of the police, but still being accountable to the political directorate through parliament.
2. Enact legislation to sunset the existing police force within eighteen months, thus providing for a total disbanding of the existing force.
3. Meanwhile, create a parallel police department to fill the space created by the intentional disbanding of the old police force with the assistance of key funding from ABC countries, and with specific assistance from entities such as RCMP, Scotland Yard and the FBI, install key personnel to head a new Police Department with the objective of training locals to assume leadership positions within four years in the new police department.
4. Invite applications for recruitment into the new police department, based on recruitment criteria as now successfully employed in the ABC countries, but also reviewing similar practices especially in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua and Barbados.
5. Invest in a programme of public awareness to the citizens of Guyana, informing them of their rights and responsibilities in general as regarding policing and a well functioning security sector.

Thank you my brother. I am aware that during the early 1980's that both the cities of Lyons and Marseilles in France had a morale and discipline problem -(corruption and extra judicial police actions) in their PD's. After the thorough examination and appraisal, it was decided to employ a strategy such as I suggested in #'s .2 and .3 above. In fact, it's from that recollection of what I read about in those cities which prompted my recommendation. We are seeing that the taint of corruption, drug inter-linkages, extra judicial actions and police bullying has become the norm in our system. The question then is to ascertain as to how far this rot/cancer has set in and whether its better to start afresh with an entity which can be created in the mould of what we expect from a well compensted professional PD, as opposed to carrying on with tainted personnel as we currently observe is our possesion. I am certainly not saying that every member of the current police force is so tainted, but the opportunity to have them apply for recruitment into a new police department according to established criteria will provide an opportunity to separate the proverbial sheep from the goats.
