The Attorney General has categorically denied any knowledge or involvement in the police raid on the media and the assault on freedom of the press, bringing Commissioner Gibbs once again front and center to have to account for the performance of the police service.
The officers who committed this assault on the people of this nation by assaulting the people's free media took it upon themselves to disregard the Constitution of the Republic and, for the duration of this attack on our democracy, Trinidad & Tobago was effectively a police state.
Every officer involved in this fiasco needs to be suspended immediately pending further investigation as their fitness to carry on in the employment of the service, and those in Authority that planned and authorized this assault on the people of Trinidad & Tobago either with their direct consent or through their ignorance of a serious matter that they OUGHT to have known about and committed by their charges deserve to be dismissed and prosecuted.
The Commissioner of police needs to explain to the people of this country why he too should not be summarily dismissed for whatever role his office may have played either with foreknowledge or ignorance and to account for the police service in this matter and others taking place directly under his care and responsibility.
This matter needs to be dealt with in the strongest manner permitted by law and a clear message needs to be sent to ALL whether in the employ of the state or not, that the Constitution of the Republic of T&T is the highest law of the land and any attempts to subvert it will be met with and responded to with the gravest of personal consequences.
It is my personal view that members of the police service OUGHT to know that the media is protected set aside and separate from state authority for a purpose and a reason, and this abuse flies in the face of our signature to any international treaty on human rights and freedom and because of this, should be treated to a public enquiry resulting in the termination of service of all those involved.
