NO! They have not been charged with that offence as yet. The boy’s head was covered with a bag and now the COP is asking the boy to identify his torturers. This how you get Justice in Guyana.

TO GEORGIE AND GAP1…….THE TWO OF YOU IGNORANCE IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. I AM NOT SUPPORTING THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARE CHARGED WITH AN OFFENSE AGAINST A CHILD OR CHILDREN ……..GEORGIE YOU NEED TO KNOW THE LAW TERMINOLOGY BEFORE YOU SPEAK…..IF A CRIME IS WITNESSED IT IS STILL AN ALLEGED CRIME UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY BY A COURT OF LAW AND THAT IS FOR ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD……….ONCE AGAIN I AM NOT DEFENDING THE OFFICERS I THINK THERE PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME. IF WE ARE ACTING AS JUDGE JURY AND AND WALKING MAGISTRATE LIKE POLICE OFFICERS THEN WE ARE NO BETTER THAN THEM…WE SHOULD GIVE OUR OPINION BUT NOT PASS JUDGEMENT.
GAP1……I GUESS YOURE SO SADISTIC THAT INSTEAD OF TAKING THE CRIME IN LIGHT IT IS SET YOU ARE TAKING IT OUT OF CONTEXT…..THE OFFENSE COMMITED ON ALL THE CHILDREN NOT ONLY THE ONE WITH THE BURN SHOULD BE ADDRESSES WHY ARE WE ONLY FIXATED ON ONE CHILD WHEN THE OFFICERS ARE NOT AS YET CHARGED WITH THAT ALLEGED CRIME. WE SHOULD DWELL ON THE SUBJECT GAP1…. IT IS ABOUT THE OTHER TEENS THAT HAS BEEN TORTURED NOT THE ONE WITH THE BURNS ALONE. THEY HAVEN’T BEEN CHARGED WITH THAT CRIME AS YET……INSTEAD OF BEHAVING LIKE IDIOTS LET UP PRAY THAT WHEN THE KID DO MAKE HIS IDENTIFICATION OF THE OFFICERS THAT IT STICKS AND THAT IT IS NOT THROWN OUT ON TECHNICALITY THAT THE KIDS SAW THEIR PICTURES IN THE PAPERS THAT IS WHY HE IS IDENTIFIES THEM………….SO STICK TO THE CURRENT SUBJECT AND NOT FOCUS ON GENTALIA……..BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT THE CHARGE IS ABOUT…..FOLLOW THE STORY GAP1.

Satish – Really??? “Pass Award???” You keep giving them out; you can have the last say on the subject if you like but talking to walls has never been my thing so I will bid you adieu.

Some people would say that the President was WRONG to give a pardon to Benshop, Shela.
But I (and I am sure YOU) know why the President did not proceed with the full might of the law…

Wonder what happened to that kid who was belted by a policeman over a $6K alleged theft??

By: Georgie

Georgie — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:17:02 +0000

GTEYZ ! Get a grip of yourself. Apart, can anyone tell me who is an ‘alleged torturer’ in light of the published photos and, the acknowledgement that the two accused policemen were identifed by the victim ?

To GTEYZ, stop yelling….please. It hurts our eyes reading you.

So GTEYZ…why are you yelling this loud? Why do you feel that two grown men who allegedly had such interest in a child’s genetalia, be set free under any circumstances?

Why are you so quick to support that?

And BTW, quiet speech is a sign of refinement. You don’t have to resort to this kind of tantrum on the blog to be heard. We are reasonable people on this blog. We will listen to you, but we will also reserve the option of not reading you the next time you yell–promise!

What were they doing burning him in his genital area? What the dickens is this all about??????!!!!!!!

Psychiatrists would call this all sorts of medical things that I am not qualified to even venture an opinion on but what they did to him was not only inhuman and abborent, but freaking “wierd”!

The question that begs to be asked is this: Which two grown men get interested enough in a child’s genitalia with intent to destroy it, unless driven by some extremely sick forces of nature?

Could we have a criminal psychologist interview these two? I have a friend who is one. I know I could interest her in evaluating these two.

I would like to appeal to all the church groups in Guyana any around the world to get together and fall on your knees and like the sound of Joshua’s army at the walls of Jherico let there be a great shout, lets petion the ultimate Judge for peace and stability in our country ,lets say enough is enough. We should no longer allow political party and personnel cloud our response to humanity! What racism! We are Guyanese! We lived through the Burnham era , Jagan era, what has changed! NOTHING! Get together my people , black, chinese Portuguese Amerindian,indian, Amerindian and whites. Lets take our country from these who have poisoned our minds against each other! Where are all the bright minds of guyana? come together and rally for justice and equality and FREEDOM in our country. Were too small a population to have to endure this nonsense. My dearest dream is that a new political party will be formed with young brilliant minds who will see through the curtains of racism and lead our people to peace and unity!

Well said GTEYZ,in the PNC era my uncle MORRIS OXFORD was confisticated because he had 10lbs of flour, which he bought on the black market just to do his hindu religious work.

You FORGOT AGAIN AFC Stokes to answer two of the three points I raised.
That’s a 66percent failure after dithering for over 2 weeks! Is this the NEW AFC READY FOR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Most folk would not give the current government an EXCELLENT award.
Most folk would give the current government a PASS award as indeed I do.
Does that make most folk PPP apologists? ANSWER MAN WE ARE WAITING.

2 Questions about the NFMU must be addressed to them and not me. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND I AM NOT EMPLOYED BY THEM.

3 I certainly would not call the fiery rhetoric from Benshop’s lawyerman, prime facie EVIDENCE.
However I will agree that lawyerman Hughes should know a duly completed search warrant when he sees one.
FORGET BACKPEDALING NOW AND BLAMING ‘REPORTS’. The fault lies with Benshop’s lawyerman Hughes who subsequently is shy about his original advice to the media and the crowd.
NOTE: I cannot tell you what he said because of fear of the moderator but I am sure you know how to look it up.

Lastly, if indeed you are preening yourself for a portfolio in the new AFC government, then I fear for Guyana’s future once again.

It is clear to me that some police men are worst than the criminals.
Were these police men properly trained to carry out their duties….
i guess not!…
I wonder why they think that they have the authority to torture and batter suspects….
Guyana has become like a dead fish…..rotting from the HEAD…..sorry for those who can’t get-out

Satish – the GPF was there to mek sure the tortured juvenile ent end up like Biscuit…. Yuh fuhget to tell de lady deh let he out de hospital without charging he. So why were they standing guard in the first place. Aisha you have every right to be afraid.

Satish how long you’re gonna stay on the wrong side of history? Leave the dark side (PPP) and come over to the bright side (AFC).

PPP apologist Satish – this is becoming tedious having to explain the same thing to you repeatedly, please try keeping up; ah gun try wan mo time since you’re still stuck on the search warrant thing. You obviously have never executed a search warrant so here goes. I will give you the dictionary definition of prima facie…is a Latin expression meaning on its first appearance, or by first instance; at first sight.

According to the reports (that’s all you and I can go on since neither of us were there) the warrant appeared to be technically deficient because there was no address or name if we’re to believe what was reported. Secondly, the man (Benschop) was in the yard; why wasn’t he allowed in his own home when the warrant was executed? There’s nothing that precluded him from being there/no concern that he would flush or destroy the evidence. In light of all the current allegations of serious misconduct that the GPF and others of the state have been implicated in, a reasonable person would question what was in the NFMU’s bag…did they videotape the search and or give benschop an inventory of everything that was taken?

Now since you kan keep up, today is 11/14; ah gun guh back to 10/31 and gee yuh de same ting ah tell yuh den…Once again you’ve elected to not engage in the merits of the instant subject; In this case I was responding to Marc de adah appalagist who was talking out his a… about Abner Louima. Try again. Over to you!
