As the HA minister ultimately responsible for internal security, the move by the opposition is NOT totally off-base.  He will ultimately be expected to give a full accounting of the action of the people under him.  He needs to come with a plan of action on the corrective actions to prevent a recurrence.  On the surface, this seems a disproportionate use of force.

Does anyone get the sense that Rohee has lost control?

No!

Base, I don't think that he should be dumped from his position based on the Linden situation, but I think he should be dumped for his overall performance in his Ministry. He protects corrupted people in the GPF and gets rid of those who speak out against corruption in the Force. How many of the corrupted in the GPF have handed in  their Badges yet? 

 The PPP is clinging closely to constitutional imperatives and on this they may have a case since there are no interpretation that support a no confidence vote. However, broadly defined, the constitution do have an opening form misconduct and I presume the deaths of individuals under his watch accrue to that most definitely. This is the second time police opened fire on a crowd and it is under his watch that this incompetent lot armed only with rifles and not geared to crowd management were deployed.

Well, at least now you understand why the phantoms were brought in!  I do agree that better crowd control is needed.

Question: Did Minister Rohee give a direct order to shoot civilians during a peaceful protest? Why is the masquerading still going on?

Did he?  You tell us, you seem to know more than Leroy Brummel.

Rohee said he did not. Various options were discussed but not the use of live ammo.

When the OWS protesters attempted to block the Brooklyn Bridge if the police had opened fire and killed three people there would have been a  demand for Bloomberg's head.  It will not matter whether spoecifically ordered the police to murder protesters or not.  What would matter would be the clear inability of NYPD to manage an unruly, but not dangerous protest without resorting to criminal behavior.

Rohee needs to do the right thing. Resign.  Suggest an inquiry chaired by an internationjal human rights organized determine what happened. And to suggest to the next MInister of HA that proper protocols and training needs to be provide to the police force so that what happened TWICE within 8 montsh will never happen again.

An abusive and unruly crowd, using vile curse words when told to move BUT AT THE POINT OF POLICE ACTIONS AGAINST THEM, had not resorted to violence, does not justify live bullets. 

In civilized countries the local govt, knowing that an unruly protest is possible, will anticipate where it will go to be disruptive, will station personnel to prevent them from access to those points, and will escort them to same huge open square in the heart of the city where they can scream and curse as they wish w/o harming people, property or the local economy.'

But the GY govt only knows brfute force and ignorance.

The mobs occupied the bridge, refused to move and hurled objects first at the police. Why don't you tell those opposition politicians to act responsibly too? 

Why did Rohee fail to order the police to secure strategic areas such as bridges before the protestors occupy them? Why did he not instruct/remind the police not to use live bullets?

Bhai he said he had a meeting with the police the day before the march and he told them not to use live bullets. And they agreed. You can listen to Rohee saying so on the Capitol News website.

 And you were there! Even if they hurled projectiles at the police,refused to move or built barricades the use of live ammunition against them was excessive. The politicians were responsible. They were performing an act of protest against an unjust action and they were within their rights to do so.

BTW Could  you point us to the rule  of responsible protests?

He should have told them to take the water cannon, present themselves in riot gear and in sufficient numbers to quell a raucous crowd in event they were needed. This is the second time in 10 months that they shot at protesters.

The first time saw no reprimand, no policy revisions no public service announcement or press release that it was unacceptable procedures. He facilitated a culture of disrespect for citizens and is obviously not sufficiently authoritative in the eyes of his men that they are convinced he give them an order.

Why should anyone listen to him now when he had a year since the last overly aggressive and heavy handed behavior of people under his charge?

That's not HIS job.  He has an entire institutional decision-making infrastructure with the tactical and operational experts whose job it is to carry out the day to day business of the state.

This is why they need an independent investigation.  You are very very simple minded in your approach.  You probably forgot how to shoot a poison dart and yet have to learn to think.  Then what use are you?

Because his job is policy and strategy, not telling police their every day-to-day move. You are asking questions like a 5 year old, get with it and grow up.

 Then why the hell was he meeting with them to talk of this issue? Do you not think he would have asked about preparedness for the task or is he another of the PPP post squatters that are good for nothing?

I am sure my suggestion is simpleminded. Obviously it took prodigious brain work to suggest I "forgot how to shoot a poison dart" as if that is what Amerindians do. I came with thinking faculties no less than you and my use of it is not hampered by racist bilge.

Base, your racism is showing and moreso scorn for the First Nation People. It also reflects the mentality at Freedumb House.

This is interesting indeed. Not only the police commisioner the ranks aren't listening to, but the home affairs minister as well. Kinda makes you want to ask this question.
Who's in charge of the force.

He is an anti-indo racist, so are many here and I dish back what they dish out.  I like buck girls.

They can talk about Indians directly or veiled and you all just sit and take it, agree or hide in a corner.  Banna, I ain't racists and I openly criticize the PPP for not having more Afros in representative positions.  I was also critical of their assertion of not having qualified blacks, which I don't agree.

However, on the same token, I will not take shyte or close my eyes to reality.  Reality, the PNC wants to regain power and re-establish a pre-1992 power structure, that's without a doubt.  The AFC is just their latest "UF".

Jackass, he is not involved day-to-day, but high-level briefing are in-order. It's not for him to tell the ranks what to do ball-by-ball.  He also cannot control how they behave in the "heat of battle", as such the need for an investigation and review of procedure.

With all that I'm not in agreement with the position of the Lindeners, I do believe the force was disproportionate, if it was actually the police who shot!

 He is the minister with oversight and ought to know what is under his charge and how those in the field are informed on his authority.
