  1. CHUPS. Thus is just another attempt to distract from the current shit storm the police are now facing. Nice try but e nar werk! Solve the burglaries, murders, attempted murders, the elderly being robbed and abused in their own homes, rampant egotistical police having no self control and wreaking havoc on those they’re charged with protecting and serving only then will I be impressed. CHUPS bout some plant the Almighty gave for our healing.

  2. Policeman: oh stupid me, why I never wait for the owners to clear the drugs at customs then track them to their home?
    And besides the fact I am illiterate so I can’t read the name on the shipment, and the shipping company in the USA and Antigua have the exact identity of the sender but I don’t have any telephone to call them.
    I will just do my job and say another drug bust, I probably get some stripes, but wait when I take the drugs into police facility I don’t hear of the drug evidence again, I got to talk to my seniors like inspector etc .

  3. Why if drugs are found at any port the police doesn’t do a shakeout to nab the guilty party, is that the police are that dumb or are they protecting influential people
