00:00Former Top Corp Gary Griffith weighs in on the brutal murder and robbery at the San Fernando
00:06Municipal Police Station claiming the life of Officer Anoushka Eversley, saying it is perplexing
00:12that a large quantity of firearms was reportedly stolen with no clear accounting of the exact
00:19number missing. Just by a commissioner stating it was 60 weapons stolen, a few days later it said
00:26the ACP says it could be over 100. That alone is my biggest concern. That is madness. In the
00:33Trinidad-Tobago Defence Force when I was a second lieutenant and lieutenant or lieutenant there's
00:37something called an orderly officer. Twice per day you have to go and go to every single armory whether
00:43it's Kampogden, Kamuto barracks, Tetron barracks, the officer of the day has to check every single weapon.
00:48He further argues that the police complaints authority should include independent police officers
00:54to strengthen the integrity of investigations into cases involving law enforcement personnel.
01:01We cannot have police investigating police. That is what caused the firearm, that firearm
01:06disaster of all of this audit and all of that. When it says all the lies were being stated and
01:11then
01:12even by this commissioner, he spoke about a problem with firearms and you're a commissioner of police
01:16and five years later not one person has been arrested for anything that was put in that fake
01:21audit report but you as a commissioner speaking about it so it means that you're not working on
01:24evidence but rum shop talk. On the broader issue of crime, Griffith says while he believes the
01:32government is moving in the right direction, he does not see a state of emergency as a cure-all for
01:38tackling the country's crime problem. So my point being is that for this government to succeed in stating that
01:44we have achieved, you need to have the same type of results in 2014 or 2021 without a state of
01:50emergency.
01:51You have to pull that state of emergency, that trump card that you're using to show that we can lock
01:56down this country without taking away constitutional rights and just arresting people based on hearsay.
