Cops criticised after injuring civilians during bid to quell protest

Destroyed stands at Mon Repos

One day after a protest over the police killing of Quindon Bacchus became violent, the police continued to face criticism over their handling of the fallout, which saw civilians being injured as law enforcers tried to clear the East Coast public road.

At the Golden Grove Market yesterday, a group of Bacchus’ family and friends, numbering 10, continued to protest for justice. They also condemned the violence and robberies that took place on Tuesday. They stated that they were protesting at Golden Grove Market demanding Justice for Bacchus before other villages joined and some persons took a course that was contrary to the protest.
