  1. “A new cohort of Police recruits has been identified and will now begin their rigorous training. Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney officially declared the start of…” WHAT… A POLICE STATE???

    Why does Antigua need so many police?
    Are you planning on SURPRESSING the people?

    WE WERE BORN FREE AND WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED OR SURPRESSED.

    • You sound so dumb its not even funny. How in the world are we a POLICE STATE do you even know the meaning of a POLICE STATE or did you just come across a new word on google and decided to try it out. Any congrats to the new officers i do hope you guys take in your training well and discontinue the old nasty habits of the senior officers👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

      • Antigua has 3.5 officers per thousand citizens which is comparable to Crime ridden New York City at 3.3 officers. The States of OREGON and WASHINGTON is 1.6 officers in comparison. They are almost three time lower then Antigua. This doesn’t include these 50 NEW officers. (and doesn’t include the 185 defense force)
        Still say they aren’t trying to create a police state?

        Population 97,927 population
        350 Police Officers
        185 Defense Force

        • Do you make up the crap you type and so. Please show where do you get your data or do u have a lot of time on your hands today?

          • SMDH, your lack of researching skills are atrocious, I found the stats in no time at all … do you just read comics?

            Great work again, Angel – A good addition to the ANR thread.

          • SMDH: LOOK UP THE DATA YOUR DUMB ARSE SELF.YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT OTHERS TO DO CRAP FOR YOU.NO WONDER THOSE LIKE YOU ARE SO DEPENDENT ON POLITICIANS.

          • @SMDH
            Update you dumbass…
            Those extra 50 officers they are training will up the ratio to 4 cops per thousand. Now, I not saying that ratio’s of cops to citizens is the only measure of a ‘Police State’ but it sure is ‘a measure’.

  2. Part 1 of the course is learning Antigua money man they are not allowed to investigate or arrest.

    Part 2 is don’t pass no info to Mary loool

  3. I guess more police officers will be needed to deny people their right to protest against Gaston’s government. He was on his radio show on Saturday stating how he intends to enforce his will and he will need police officers to be part of his plan.

    • Lies, lies, and more lies “Jane Doe”
      You are just like Observer – pick and choose what you want to hear.
