Maybe this is why they didn’t take their guns to the robbery… They end up shooting themselves…
You was there to know?
Police and Theif in de streets
Sounds like he shoot himself by mistake. So why the cap was off in the first place. If they don’t know how to use these weapons, what they doing with them? Suppose he had shoot somebody else
How you know he shoot heself? You was posed up watching he?
BVI coming a wild wild west now, Giving cops guns to shoot us down.
Police have guns to protect themselves and to protect the public. There is hot headed people out here with no good intentions especially towards the police. Why should they not be armed to protect them self? Think!
Now they launching probe. But when officers obviously used tasers inappropriately against the public, no probe was launched. They say if premier want to question it, let him question it. Ok then.
We on lockdown. That boy had no right to leave the house to go anywhere. Stay he a** home. Corona virus out here killing people and he want to leave house? You ignorant people need to think before you let out hot air.
So u think that the cops should just tase ppl just for being out past curfew??
