Shootout at POS General Hospital

[shotta 20]

^^ must have a getaway vehicle...this thing was well planned. The only thing I feel caused problems, was the grenade failing to explode. If it had, that would have caused a big distraction, giving the 3 escapees a better chance to vanish.

[Redman]

IMHO..the Prison Guards found to be culpable in letting these fellas get the weapons and escape should also face the murder charge for the TTPS officer.

You are assuming that the Prison Guards responsible for assisting with the escape will be identified and charged. Never happen. That prison system appears to be more corrupt than the Licensing Office.

[Redman]

I good with the whole shift being detained....and charged.

The young man was killed as a direct result of the Prison officers taking money....

who is worse the criminal who acting like a criminal...or the PO that making money facilitating the criminals..

Hang them...right next to the last one who give himself up.

[1UZFE]

^^ the shift/or persons responsible should be charged with manslaughter atleast.

No one is ever going to be held accountable.
It's reality that we live with nasty corrupted Trinis

[searchingone]

Some guy on the radio this morning... I didn't get his name, from the prison services, said that so far, they have no doubt that there was some involvement by some officer on the inside.

[pete]

Hope the no searching of women policy is changed. Body scanners at least would be a start.

Its not just a matter of taking money. their families could have been threatened. Deliver these weapons or elsr we kill yuh wife n daughter etc....
What would you do?

[Redman]

ABA Im sure that gives 27 year old Maynard's mother real comfort.

You rationalizing chit.

[Chimera]

I not rationalizing. I just telling you its not just about money.

[Redman]

Ok I hear you ...but them is the breaks .....they are still responsible...cuz THEY chose to take the oath to adhere to a standard of behavior.

They made their choices so they on for the full ride.

In Central/South American they call it Plata O Plomo (Silver or Lead). It's either take the money, or you/your family will be assassinated.

In Trinidad I don't think it's that bad as Mexico/Colombia etc. Also persons join the prison officers knowing full well the corruption that happens inside.

[Slartibartfast]

Redman, you conveniently didn't answer what you would do in the situation. Would you take money and risk something like this happening or refuse and be guaranteed they coming for you and your family? It must take great courage to judge the actions of others from behind a keyboard.

[pete]

This did not start on Friday. Those officers have been smuggling all sorts of things into the prison for a long time. This is the first time that someone has been directly been unfortunately hurt and killed for doing it. Charge all of them, let it be an example. Maybe the good ones will say who the bad ones are and it will stick and maybe this will actually bring out a change in the entire system.

[Redman]

I would leave the job....

So you feel better?

That change the facts that the PO s enabled and facilitated this whole affair ?

Costing one TTPS his life...

And yes I'm judging their behavior.....it's not now crap like this happening

Wonder what makes men stay in a job with all those risks.....hmmmm
Must be beneficial to them some how...

They get caught doing chit...their motivation isn't relevant .

[Chimera]

ha

the good ones will be killed and only the bad ones or the ones who turn a blind eye will remain

they can't even catch criminals in Trinidad, our police service has corruption to the top, the two main police "champions" who are responsible for catching or killing plenty criminals, are themselves big criminals who run drug blocks and very organised protection schemes.

didnt a prison officer get shot a week or two ago?

[hustla_ambition101]

I hope some of you are not in positions of power, with the level of simplistic thinking. Even businessmen in this country have to pay money to keep criminals at bay, when corruption occurs at the top of an organisation you all think that the low level plebs reporting it will solve anything. As we have seen in many instances whistleblowers always get silenced.

[Slartibartfast]

Same thing I saying. And idk which country you living in Redman but jobs not easy for everyone to come by. Some people stay because they have to provide for their family and being a prison officer is the most stable income available to them.

I mean, there are obviously the rotten ones but grouping all of them together does nothing but make things worse. The good ones may think, why fight up to do things right if everyone acting like they doing crap anyway. What motivation will they have to do their job well?

I find it funny how everyone can point fingers at what is wrong but nobody want to stick their neck out and propose a solution because they afraid to get pointed at. Let's see them problem solving skills nah redman.

Enforce the laws already on the books.

Find the officers that brought the weapons in and charge them...Just like they charging escapee #3.

Or maybe scanny threatened his mommy too?

Meanwhile Maynard funeral is on Thursday??

[Slartibartfast]

While they at it they might as well just catch all the criminals in Trinidad and lock them up one time. Crime problem solved. What you think?

[UML]

So from all evidence coming out we know their was prison officer involvement. An interview with Subash Panday stated that there are two gates at the prison one after the other. Also in the visiting area the inmate sits at least 4 ft away from the visitor behind very fine wire mesh so fine that you can barely see the inmate. So how did two guns and a grenade pass?

Hearing Roget's comments I wouldn't be surprised if the sleeper cells within the system caused this to put pressure on the government with an upcoming election to try and show that the country is unstable.
