Linden Commission of Inquiry finds…Police culpable in shooting deaths

It looks like the COI throw the PNC/AFC a bone here by culpating the cops even though no evidence exist to link them to the shooting. What about the charges by some that there were afc/pnc agents in the crowd shooting their own people?

COPS ALONE HAD FIREARMS Kaieteur News understands that while the Commission unearthed no direct evidence that any individual ranks shot the protesters, the Commission deemed the Guyana Police Force culpable, since there was no evidence that anyone other than the police ranks were in possession of firearms when protestors and persons in the vicinity were shot. During the hearing, senior police ranks who testified had stated that the civilians were shot with copper-coated shotgun ammunition and claimed that this ammunition was no longer used by the Force.

this is nothing but a joke guyana is a third world country rule by third world mentalty a waste of taxpayers money

Trying to save your sorry ass...that's Ramotar's Commission and it said the AFC did nothing wrong, unlike what racists like you and Rev Al were saying here. Rohee is responsible. But Ramotar said he loves the Burnham Constitution so he intends to override Parliament and allow the murderous and corrupt Rohee to continue. That is why the PPP government will never be credible. 

when these same police officers was shooting indians in the pnc days there were monsters and racists now they shooting people today for the ppp government they are  not responable

Kaieteur News understands that while the Commission unearthed no direct evidence that any individual ranks shot the protesters, the Commission deemed the Guyana Police Force culpable, since there was no evidence that anyone other than the police ranks were in possession of firearms.

If there is no direct evidence, why blame the police? Any good findings on "no direct evidence" is to give the police the benefit of the doubt. Bgurd was right in saying that the COI throw a bone in the opposition corner.  

You want to be president or prime minister?

What is the honorable Minister Rohee is guilty of? Please provide the evidence and stop blowing hot air. If the constitution was good for them, it's also good for the PPP. End of story!

Under his watch a Commissioner of Police was allowed to serve even though he "benefited materially from the drugs trade." Minister Sawh was killed and nothing was done. We have a spy agency under Rohee but no forensic lab. The Indo hero and convicted pusher said he fought for the PPP. 

This is your own story, just provide the evidence of all the crimes that you're making up against Minister Rohee. This is not children chit-chat when you want to lay blame on Ministers. We're adults and we need to be responsible for our statement in public.

While controlling the courts, judicial system, media and having a powerful bastardized Constitution at their disposal to commit wrongs, scoundrels always ask for evidence. Evidence...the refuge of a scoundrel. 

This "crying foul" is not going to change if the constitution remain the same. It takes 2/3 majority to make changes. We should waste our precious time on a different subject.

Violent protesters killed and opposition demanded an inquiry.

Peaceful protesters killed on the Courantyne and the opposition don't give a damn because their are Indians protesting terror by the Buxton gang.

I have to blame the government of the day for letting the PNC thugs trample over us. It's long overdue and president Ramotar need to flex his muscles and do something about the race advantage in Guyana. This is bull shit.

If Ramotar is incapable of dealing with violence of the opposition then he should clear the way for someone else.

We have to think on the term "then again". Ramotar is a man of diplomacy. He is struggling with parliament by their one seat majority. He has so much on his agenda and the ongoing development. Being tough between with the race advantage will only get ugly on his watch. I am sure he knows it and only time will be on the PPP side to get things right. 

No direct evidence is dxirected to lack of evidence to blame an INDIVIDUAL police man.

The COI says that only the police had guns so they were to blame.

They needed an inquiry when right here on GNI we investigated the indecent and pinpointed the instigator. But the government conveniently cannot find the person who gave the political order to kill a few blacks, and they couldn't find out who fired the shots. What, don't we have a ballistic expert that could have been hired from China?

The leaked Linden Commission of Inquiry(COI) report was very critical of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament Desmond Trotman for his stance on the blocking of the Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge and other acts. During his testimony Trotman was unapologetic in his support for the unlawful actions of protesters when they  blocked the Mackenzie /Wismar Bridge and sought to justify it by saying it by describing it as a 'just cause'.

The commission in its report said "it is noteworthy that a Member of Parliament who was at the scene on the 18th day of July when much of this was taking place or had already taken place stubbornly refused to accept that the protesters had resorted to unlawful means to carry out what would otherwise have been a lawful endeavour. To him the police ought not to have intervened because the protest was for a just cause. The justice of a cause seldom if ever justifies a breach of the Constitution and certainly in this situation we are of the view that, whilst we empathize with the citizens, resorting to unlawful means could not have been condoned by the police."

Those poor victims. Murdered by this communist regime. Once they have imported weapons of torture from China and built their underground death cells below the Marriott, many will disappear.

The joint opposition was caught shifting their goal post as it relates of Minister Rohee, in order to score very cheap political points, the commission of Inquiry who knows, might have shed light on the sinister motives of the joint opposition

Listen bull pup, only the police had guns but no shots were fired from those guns...the COI wasn't there when the riot was taking place and testimonies they receive are from PNC/APNU worshipers who would lie under oath. The COI report clearly stated that APNU is responsible for the riot. Ballistic test prove that no police guns were used to kill the Linden rioters. Black man head hard, but you don't have to think like a frigging dry coconut. 

The Commission of Inquiry blamed organisers and politicians for the escalation of tension on that fateful day by failing to advise the protesters to obey police orders by a loudhailer and a banner to remove from the bridge. Those named are Region 10 Chairman, Sharma Solomon and other politicians- Aubrey Norton, Vanessa Kissoon and Desmond Trotman. “What transpired on the Bridge on July 18, 2012 could have been avoided if some of the influential Community persons had intervened and advised the protestors to display due respect for the law.”

If only the enmore martyrs had not blocked a bridge they would not be  shot ! What a load of crap. They were protesting, they were there to impost their political will via protest and disrupt business as usual.

Over a million Greeks and Spanish did that for weeks  on end.. how many were shoot by the police? This naked propagandist tact of the PPP has lost them one region. I think the Amerindians are already figuring out that they are not to be trusted....dere dere

Stormy, how much did you pay to sell your soul to the devil? Even TK is acting like he's possessed there days.

No one has to pay me to say the obvious. The PPP are on a path that bodes ill for us. They are autocrats who hide behind rules prescribed by a dictator in a constitution foisted on us in a rigged referendum. To them, normal rules of propriety does not work.
