So no security cameras after 3 robberies? Nothing put in place? Can’t afford it? Pray the weapon and thieves are found
This must be a prank
The police officer with a gun gets overpowered??? Ah wah diss me ah read?!
What type of armed training do these police officers get? Is by a hand manual or Virtual Reality computer 🖥 screen?
Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney needs to put the fear factor into the minds of the criminal fraternity; and double quick too!
Don’t be in a rush to be a hero. The officer should’ve waited on back up which in this neighborhood/St. John’s should not be more than a minute or two away!
What is the name of that business.Why not published the name like all others robbed.Is it related to a Politician’s family?
When u say over power wha u really mean? Did he get a call saying a robbery taking place and approached by himself without even calling it in, or was he just chilling casually in the store? A police officer carrying a gun and getting over powered kind a sound like an amateur and shouldn’t even be on the any police force.
POLICE OVERWHELMED…? …CITIZENS AT WIT’S END: …ROBBERS RULE –
QUESTIONABLY-ISSUED FIREARM…?
When news broke on social media that an apparent ‘…CAMOUFLAGING SPECIAL SERVICE UNIT (SSU),’ was reportedly ‘…ROBBED’ of a ‘…QUESTIONABLY-ISSUED FIREARM,’ know that, not only:
(a) ‘…The ‘POLICE SERVICE,’ came under ‘…SERIOUS ATTACK:’ but also
(b) …The safety of every law-abiding, defenceless and hapless citizen.
DESCRIPTION:
The ‘ROOKIE’ Police Constable of:
(a) …Five to seven years service:
(b) …Personally and ‘…QUESTIONABLY’ issued with a ‘…High Caliber weapon ‘…13-Round-
Magazine 380-Barretta Pistol:
(c) …Reportedly ‘…Camouflaged’ in ‘…Black pants and Black T/Shirt (Unmarked of Police).
(d) …Reported to have been ‘…Moonlighting- Contractually providing ‘…Private Security
Service:
(e) …At a ‘…Privately-arranged ‘…Hourly Rate’ of between ‘…EC$35 to EC$50:
Without contradiction, the ‘…Police Service,’ seemingly:
(a) ‘…Lacked effective Leadership:
(b) …Jaded:
(c) …Dejected: and
(d) …Overwhelmed.’
SELF-EVIDENT TRUTHS: INCREASING FREQUENCY OF CRIME…?
These ‘TRUTHS’ are ‘…Self-Evident’ by an apparent ‘…Increasing Frequency’ in criminal activities.’
CITIZENS/POLICE: AT WITS END
Now, both ‘…Police and Citizens’ seem to be at their ‘…Wits-End.’
There is no respite to the unrelenting, fearless and brazen ‘…ARMED DAYLIGHT ROBBERS.’
Even as ‘…Law Enforcement’ seemed to be either in:
(i) ‘…Denial: and
(ii) …Seemingly, savor the preferred use of the words- ‘…RELATIVELY SAFE.’
INSULTING CITIZEN’S INTELLIGENCE
Then adding insult to citizen’s intelligence, they continue to reference that which was reported to have obtained in other regional nations.
FEARS AND HORRORS
Clearly, these do not address ‘…Citizen’s Concerns,’ nor their ‘…Fears and Horrors.’
Lest the ‘…ROBBERS’ continue to ‘…Wreak Havoc’ in the society, in ‘…APPEASING’ and bringing ‘…RESPITE’ to the ‘…CITIZENRY,’ much more is desirable from:
(i) …Commissioner of Police, ATLEE RODNEY QPM:
(ii) …Police: Public Safety and Justice Minister, ‘Sir Steadroy ‘Cutie’ Benjamin: and
(iii) …Prime Minister Gaston Browne- ‘…Constitutional authority for appointing competent
efficient and effective ‘…Commissioners of Police.’
They shall either ‘…REIN’ in the ‘…ROBBERS’ or the apparent ‘…Impotent Law enforcers.’
I saw the surveillance footage of this incident. The police officer was in plain clothes (Was he off-duty? Undercover?) and entered the supermarket while the gunman was already inside. The gunman noticed him enter and immediately pointed his gun at the officer’s chest/face and took his firearm. He then pointed at the officer to leave which he did!
I wonder if the gunman knew the person he stole a gun from was a cop or maybe he thought he was just another gun-toting hoodlum that he encountered while carrying out a robbery. Anyway, there is one new gun on the streets of Antigua tonight…
that gunman failed the test to become a UPP candidate. Thank God he never shot a woman dead and she unborn child.
good thing nobody was physically hurt or shot dead.
You people type like a bunch of idiots. No amount of traning or fear factor can do anything for a man with a gun pointed to his head. Or maybe you people would rather he play hero get unalived then it’s something else. Officer you did the right thing. Don’t bother play hero get unalived and leave your family behind. As to all who have the most to say if you think it’s so simple why don’t you join the police force and see what’s it’s really like. Who feels it knows it. Y’all sick one marga dwag tommack.
JOKE U ALL MAKING. ITS A SET UP.
Just saw the video and it’s a comedy hour for sure and being a hero is a huge part of the job, so if one is not ready try and find a regular 9 – 5.
