Are We Serious about Fixing Crime in T&T?

[bluefete]

JSCs are not easy places dependent on who is on your committee.
I was before the JSC once before and we had people I thought would have rinsed us (Wade Mark, Foster Cummings, Tim Goppeesingh) Instead it turned out quite well and the Independent bench rep was Amrita Deonarine whose non reappointment to the Independents I found was a loss to the Senate.

Foster Cummings - ahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In the 10 replies after the video was posted, 7 were about Paul Richards or other things besides the issue or the response from the CoP.

Is it that we expected such a response or we have become desensitized?

Paul Richards take the bait, Erla much smarter than she wants people to believe

A pity that does not translate into results.

[16 cycles]

Soon enough Erla will retire and we'll be back at it again with someone towing a line rather than putting country first

[pugboy]

erla getting all the attention
standard diversion whilst heinz and rowlee sit back and knock glass with their community leaders

Well they spoke about how the police didn't "meet their targets" but the clip that gone viral is about a bachannal with Alexander

Paul Richards is a president appointed senator. When a man went to president house and intercept a merit list from a constitutional body, did Paul Richards ask the president, under whose behest he serves, these kind of hard hitting questions. Or better yet did he offer his resignation

i also posted this a few times over d past 6mths

when a new 1 comes in we all have high hopes but reality quickly hits us : another political appointed seat warmer who waits for time to past then quietly retires with some nice benefits

only gibbs & gary were trying to do a good job with limited funding, outdated equipment\laws\resources, having to deal with red tape & things having to get approval by certain ppl & be supplied by certain preferred ppl too ... these are things when marlon & callers put sander to task he had to answer with chosen words as not to incriminate certain ppl & his superiors

but who appoints d president though, who in turn appoints "independent" senators so how truly independent is anything in this country - ppl cyar jump out deyself too much & hadda bat in dey crease or u out of a job ...

[AlphaMan]

Senator Richards asked Earla the questions that needed to be asked and in the tone of voice that was required.
It's clear she doesn't know what her portfolio is and relying on "prayers" to solve the crime problem. He's actually interested or appears to be in what the TTPS leadership is doing to address the problem of high crime in the society.
Erla's term comes to an end in May when she will turn 61.
A new politically appointed Commissioner comes in and we start all over again.

[MaxPower]

Shame ting...

Erla sounding like she in primary school at the principal office.

illiteracy at it’s best.

Seems to be a requirement for the TTPS…

[zoom rader]

Crime is business in TT and there is no rush to fix it.

Popo make ah money on the block.

Injun laawya make ah money win or lost.

Turn key make ah money with weed n cells

Prison house suppliers make ah money, maybe elite have contract supplying toilet paper that never make it to jail.

[Mmoney607]

Imagine a grown man, in what is supposed to be a serious setting, starting a sentence with "with all due respect" and thinking that he is asking tough questions

[pugboy]

yuh leave out the biggest one

But to answer the question of the topic of the thread. I go put it like this.

A road is a simple thing, both to build and to maintain.
And the people supposedly "in charge" can't even do that right.
allyuh really feel crime, with all its nuances and dynamics and variables, is something that they can remedy?

The PM had to pass in an area where the road bad to open this , more than a year it never paved. And that road smooth as silk now. We are continued to be fooled.

NO BAIL AND LIFE FOR ILLEGAL GUNS, CAN'T GET THEM FOR MURDER, GET THEM FOR THE FAVORITE TOOL .

It's too much , the whole crime dynamic has changed .

500 murders in the mid 2000s and 500 murders now are not the same. Anyone is fair game now, before it was only a certain type of people were getting killed and that was a positive factor in our psyche, but now women children and decent people are being mowed down like never before.

Lawlessness is the new order in T&T and more and more people are becoming outlaws .

We need people who are willing to take the fight to them and have them on the run with new laws and enforcement . It's very bleek..

[pugboy]

well the opposition rejected the bail bills
and both govts will reject it regardless who is in opposition

[Chimera]

Can't anger the voters

[Habit7]

No true. PNM fully supported it in Opposition, just like the anti-gang law. https://www.guardian.co.tt/article-6.2. ... 3a2d766fba

However, the UNC proxies challenged the PNM govt version of the No Bail legislation up to the Privy Council and won. Thereby showing how unconstitutional it is which I have to agree was the right thing to do.

But bear in mind much of the recent murders and attempted murders have been stabbings and/or crimes of passion. No bail is not a real deterrent for that.

[paid_influencer]

maladaptive behaviour in response to an increased number of stressors from deteriorating material conditions

have to attack every link in that chain. the culture encourages violence. start there.

all that is required is a govt with the political will to fight crime......

Days after a 34-year-old father of two was brutally beaten by a group of people at Caura River in El Dorado, he died at his family’s home in Carapichaima on April 9.
https://newsday.co.tt/2024/04/09/man-di ... ura-river/

While laws need to be strengthened and the police need to enforce the law and solve crime more, it all starts with the lawlessness of each citizen.

Such lawlessness is in clear display when I see men complain about be prosecuted for violating traffic laws. In same way the traffic violator sees larceny as more important. The larceny violators sees kidnapping as more important, the kidnappers sees murder as more important and the murders say they don’t steal like corrupt politicians.

Everybody justifies their crimes and it starts off small.
