Having your rights taken away because of government failure benefits no one. The corrupt police with absolute power is scary

Is it necessary to have a State Of Emergency ( SOE) for the current activities being undertaken? Why can't they focus on patrolling the hotspots as Gary did? I’m curious about the stance of the Police Commissioner in this situation since we have heard from her. It might be time for her to be more visible if we are serious about crime in T&T. BRING BACK GARY, or at least get external help.

All yuh critize the UNC but look at you now.Kamla warned him about crime but he insulted her as usual . Rowley is a coward he has given up he has thrown in the towel.This fool is full of gimmicks

Waste ah time and insulting the public's intelligence. It's been 2 days did they arrest anyone, find and any large cache of narcotics or guns, or did they break up any human trafficking rings? This might be a case of myself investigating myself and my friends and financial benefactors.

Some people like the crime. It is beneficial for them but the police should visit the homes of the people who are making noise about. I wonder who is paying the criminals to disrupt the country.
