The continued brutality of citizens during routine investigations and a poor track record of successfully prosecuting cases have once again become the subject of public discussion, and according to security experts if not addressed quickly, a dangerous situation could develop where persons will not only have no respect for the law but will take matters into their own hands.
So far for this year, the police have come under heavy criticism in five instances – the Colwyn Harding baton sodomy allegation, the Dameon Belgrave shooting, the shooting of 15-year-old Alex Griffith, the sudden dismissal of the Kirpalani $17 million robbery case and the torturing of Junior Thorrington while in police custody.
