Dashing the<\/span><\/span> \u2018Hope and Expectation\u2019<\/span><\/span> of <\/span><\/span>\u2018Prime Minister Gaston Browne,\u2019<\/span><\/span> some members of the <\/span><\/span>\u2018Security Forces,\u2019<\/span><\/span> have<\/span><\/span>shown hostility and a<\/span><\/span>ggressiveness,\u2019 while others have<\/span><\/span>reportedly resorted \u2018intimidatory tactic, injecting fear in the cit<\/span><\/span>izenry. Compounded by <\/span><\/span>these, was<\/span><\/span> an insensitive attitude displayed by a handful of members of the <\/span><\/span>\u2018Security Forces.\u2019<\/span><\/span>This may have been evident, even as a clearly frightened and anxious citizenry, concerned for their <\/span><\/span>personal <\/span><\/span>health and <\/span><\/span>safety and <\/span><\/span>that of their families, sought to utilize the allowable, but limited period of time to obtain essentials. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
