00:00Councillor for Mausica Maloney Stephen Watley says a sense of apprehension persists in the community,
00:07with residents still uncertain about how the operation will affect their daily lives.
00:12The general feeling since then has been one of anxiety, one of fear, one of not knowing what will be
00:22the outcome,
00:23when will it stop, when will it, you know, stop being inconvenienced, most of the residents within the area.
00:32He tells The Morning Edition the initial lockdown caught residents off guard with no clear warning or explanation.
00:40Watley also questions the decision to place Maloney under special operations,
00:45arguing that the shooting incident which prompted the measure is not representative
00:51of what has become the community's everyday reality.
00:55But prior to that, in this particular year, Maloney hasn't seen, like, those gang-related issues
01:05and shootings in a magnitude that will warrant such operation.
01:13We rarely feel that certain things could have been handled locally
01:18because you all know that the police know who are involved in these activities within the community.
01:27According to the councillor, residents are still perplexed and unsettled,
01:33questioning the basis for selecting their community for lockdown.
01:37We are not, we're not sure of the kind of intelligence that they have within the Maloney area,
01:44but it just begs the question as to what are the priorities and how a particular area is chosen for
01:57this lockdown and this Zozo.
02:00And that has been the question by many of the residents.
02:05If we're not the sensitization forum, these kind of questions were asked.
02:11What was the criteria of Maloney being chosen?
