Agricola teen’s fatal shooting…A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has expressed distrust in the Guyana Police Force’s ability to conduct an inquiry into Tuesday’s fatal shooting of an Agricola teenager,Cheap NFL Jerseys From China, Shaquille Grant, by its ranks.This,Wholesale Jerseys 2018, the opposition alliance explained, is premised on the length of time the force is taking to present ballistics reports on the killing of three men in Linden on July 18,Cheap Jerseys, allegedly by the police,China NBA Jerseys, while residents of that community protested intended electricity tariff increases.“Since they are taking lengthy time to give us ballistics reports on Linden, we don’t trust them at this point to conduct such an inquiry,” James Bond, APNU Member of Parliament said yesterday during a press briefing.Bond said, “Unequivocally they (police) are saying that Grant was not the shooter. I spoke to one of the ranks on the raid and he clearly said Grant was not one of the shooters. This was no escape. This ought not to have happened. The police ought not to have fired in the first instance. They are running through tracks, running through alleys, seeing groups of men and then shooting. You will hit other persons… you will hit unarmed persons, and this has been the case.”APNU Members of Parliament, Joseph Harmon (left) and James BondThree of the men who were in the company of Grant when he was killed were taken into police custody but were released yesterday.Acting Commissioner of Police, Leroy Brumell, has promised a thorough investigation into the shooting. Brumell stated that he has activated the force’s internal organ, the Office of Professional Responsibility, with former Crime Chief Heeralall Mackenlall to head investigations into the complaints against the police.Bond, who is also the legal representative for the four other Agricola men, said APNU is assessing how this matter will be addressed to avoid giving the police too many hints as to how to conduct their investigations.He stated,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, “Whether or not their men were justified… yes, they said they found a gun, but then you can’t say you found a gun and then you hear a shot fired. You have to do some amount of checks and show us ballistics as to where this shell is and go a step further to show that any of the five men fired that shot.”Bond related that talks with both the officer on the raid and the Senior Superintendent revealed that the young men were suspected to have been planning a robbery that was supposed to be executed at an establishment in the vicinity of the Guyana National Stadium. As a result they (police) booked them for robbery under arms and possession of firearms and ammunition, he added.He assured that APNU will continue to be committed to ensuring and enforcing respect for the Human Rights of all Guyanese citizens, as espoused by Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier David Granger.“The people of Guyana, like the village of Agricola, have had their basic human rights to life, as well as freedom of assembly and association, trampled upon and run roughshod over by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic regime and the GPF.”“It is, therefore, not surprising that APNU has committed its legal officers to assist the victims of this latest instance of police brutality in every way possible, as is the case with regard to the incidents at Linden. We believe that the use of deadly force, as declared by the then President Bharrat Jagdeo,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, has now become the culture of the Guyana Police Force. As a consequence, the average Guyanese citizen can no longer feel safe in Guyana,” Bond said.According to Joseph Harmon, APNU Member of Parliament, supporters of APNU believe that the Commissioner of Police needs additional guidance on how to command his force. Supporters are urging that APNU assist the Commissioner on the preparation of a policy document to help him conduct the operations of the force.Harmon noted that the feeling is that Government is not giving Mr. Brumell proper guidance, hence the Opposition’s reason for moving the no-confidence in Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee.“We see there is no move on the part of the Government to have Rohee removed from office so whatever directions are given to Brumell will be directions tainted by Mr. Rohee’s incompetence,” Harmon said.
