Congratulations to our new Chief of Police and his new Deputy Chief of Police. Police should not be beating their wives, girlfriend or their women. They are suppose to up hold the Law. If you and your significant other cannot get along Leave, don’t find yourself in this kind of predicament; being arrested disgracing yourself, your country and your family, and a Police too. Come on man. Zero tolerance towards this kind of behavior. I am so glad this Chief of Police and his Deputy are not sweeping these matters under the rug. Don’t cover up for them Sir and Madam lock them up if they have to be locked up and send them on Anger Management too.
About time!!!!
