Cops gone Wild: Indiscriminate Shooting By Lawless Lawmen Caught on Camera
posted (April 3, 2017)
And while Dangriga is still reeling from the tragic enormity of that accident, the entire country is trying to understand how two police officers could do what they did on San Pedro on Saturday morning. The videos went viral on every kind of social media over the weekend; they show police abusing a woman and menacing residents with loaded weapons in a way that's just never been captured before. Daniel Ortiz has compiled the lawless and monstrous behaviour captured on the cell phones of fearless bystanders:

The Professional Standards Branch of the Police Department, which specifically investigates officers for allegations of misconduct, has already gone to the island to do their own investigation into the incident. They report that Police Constables Norman Coye and Darnell Madrill have both been charged with wounding. We have conflicting reports from authorities which refute this police report. Our checks say that they haven't been charged yet, and that the formal arrest should take place tomorrow, when they are expected to be arraigned. As you saw, they were moving about freely up until midday.
