WHAT THE HELL…! …STUPIDLY WRITTEN: …BOW HEADS IN PRAYER

WHETHER OR NOT SO CRAFTED: by
(i) ‘…ACTING COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, PASTOR EVERTON JEFFERS KPM: and
(ii) …AFFIXED HIS SIGNATURE: and
(iii) …SO PUBLISHED: for
(a) …THE INFORMATION OF THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERS OF THE POLICE SERVICE: and
(b) …GENERAL PUBLIC,’ THIS PUBLICATION: appears
(c) …STUPIDLY AND PROVOCATIVELY WRITTEN.’
***
HOW IS THAT…?’
(i) ‘..THE ACTING COMMISSIONER OF POLICE KNOWS THAT ‘…CLIFTON CABRAL’ CURRENTLY HOLDS THE RANK OF ‘…ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE:
(ii) …HE KNOWS, OR RECKLESS NOT TO KNOW THAT HE (Jeffers) IS THE ONLY ‘…ACTING COMMISSIONER OF POLICE’ AND NOT ‘…LISBORN MICHAEL:
(iii) …HE ALSO KNOWS THAT …LISBORN MICHAEL,’ MAY HAVE BEEN ELEVATED FROM THE RANK OF ‘…SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, TO ‘…ACTING ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE:
***
HUMILIATE AND FRUSTRATE:
CLEARLY, WITH AN INTENTION TO ‘…HUMILIATE OR FRUSTRATE’ OFFICER CLIFTON CABRAL, THE LANGUAGE USED:
(a) ‘…WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT:’ appears
(b) …SUGGESTIVE THAT THE ‘…ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, CLIFTON CABRAL’ MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING ‘…FRIGHTENINGLY DESPICABLE: then
***
DISINGENUOUS WIMP:
(c) …LIKENED TO ‘…AN IGNORANT DISINGENUOUS WIMP,’ AND CLEARLY, HIDING BEHIND THE ‘…POLICE SERVICE COMMISSION (PSC),’ THE NEWS STORY STATES:
(d) ‘…THE DECISION WAS MADE BY THE POLICE SERVICE COMMISSION’ [Paragraph 3].

NOW
THE POLICE SERVICE COMMISSION, AS A ‘…REFERRAL BODY:’ does not
(i) ‘…SUPERINTEND THE POLICE SERVICE:
(ii) ‘…THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, DOES [Section 6: Police Act: CHAPTER 330]:
(iii) …AS CONTAINED IN THE ‘…CONSTITUTION ORDER’, THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH ANY ‘…REFERRAL’ SO MADE BY THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE [CO: 1981: Section 104].

STILL:
THEY CANNOT DICTATE FOR ANY ‘…COMMISSIONER OF POLICE,’ TO WHERE THE BODY WANTS ‘…DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF POLICE ALBERT WADE’ TO BE TRANSFERRED.’

PASTORAL PREACHING:
HOWEVER, IF IT HAS TO DO: with
(a) ‘…PASTORAL PREACHING:
(b) …HOLY OR HOLY NOT, THE CHAIRMAN MAY REQUEST OF ‘…ACTING COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, EVERTON JEFFERS,’ THAT A CERTAIN PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE’ BE READ TO THEIR MEMBERSHIP.’

BOW HEADS IN PRAYER
THEN THE 6-MEMBER COMMISSIONER, SHALL ‘..BOW THEIR HEADS IN PRAYER.’
***
THEY SHALL ALL SAY: ‘…HEAR US, LORD: …HEAR US.’
***
KEEP THE FAITH, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, CLIFTON CABRAL: …KEEP THE FAITH.’

Acting Commissioner means yoh are the commissioner temporarily. Therefore the transfer or reassignment of a commissioner cannot be overseen by Deputy Wade who would be a lower rank. Is it that Mr. Michael’s rank is Assistant Commissioner., the rank below Deputy. That makes more sense.
WHAT THE HELL…! …@ RON:
***
YOU MAKE MORE SENSE THAN HIM THAT CAUSED THIS TO BE PUBLISHED AT ‘…ANR NEWS PORTAL.’

EVEN SO, ‘…ANR’ SHALL HAVE SEEN ‘…SOM DARN TING WONG, TOO.’

WHAT THE HELL…!
EXCEPT’… LIBELOUS AND DEFAMATORY MATERIAL,’ THEY ARE NOT WRONG IN PUBLISHING WHAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED.

WALK GOOD.
