And What About The Gang Truce
posted (April 16, 2012)
So with all these acts of violence, can we declare the gang truce officially over?

The police press officer told us that's a policy position and he can't comment on it:

Jules Vasquez
"Sir, are you all prepared to concede that violence in the city is at a fevered pitch and that whatever fragments or figments of a truce that were existing have now been expunged. There is no truce; its full out warfare."

Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"Jules, I am not in a position to comment on the truce. I believe that you have to go to the ministry level to comment on that."

"What I am able to comment on are the crimes, and we are trying our best to solve these crimes and bring them under control."

We asked Minister of State with responsibility for the gang truce whether he can comment on the truce. He gave a one word answer: "Nope."
