Pure nonsense going on in this place and on top of that the man we call a Prime Minister wants to flood the country with more rejects and criminals out of America just to please Trump or is it his pockets. Things are so awful with ABLP even Faithful National #1stop defending their lies
Yes! we are fully aware of the dangerous crime wave that’s taking place all across the region, but the issue I have here in Wadadli, is the easiness, and the unpredictability of the crimes being carried out here, where the gunman and scumbags just strike and dissappear clean without a trace, it’s like no one is safe. Criminals and murderers can strike whenever and wherever they wish, at anytime, totally aware of 1735, but still that seems not to be a deterrent. Mr Commissioner when one can be collously gun down in their vehicle just like that, and not one police vehicle even in or close to the area, then to me you’re not doing your job. I know you don’t have the ShotSpotter application technology, so instead, your officers sense of hearing must be key in their crime fighting ability, quickly identifying gun shots and urgently getting to that location. Again! yes crime is expected, but it will be a bit settling to the mind if we know these criminals are quickly apprehended.
