I can’t believe the headline story that was published in the 29 April-1 May edition of the Caymanian Compass.
The police are declaring war on the gangs and they are going to crack down on drug dealers – ya right. That is nothing but a bunch of political rhetoric prior to the election.
Back on the farm we have a more appropriate name for it – a pile of crap.
I live next door to the biggest drug dealers in our district. Over the past year I don’t know how many times my wife and I have talked to the Police about it, but we have talked so much and never received any effective action that we have almost given up.
On one occasion after making a report, a marked police car was dispatched with two officers, one female and one male, both obviously from North America or the UK and as green as could be.
They stopped in the road in front of our house and shouted to my wife in the yard, ‘Are you the one that made a complaint about drug dealers in the area?’ So much for telling on your neighbours as requested in the article. We are lucky we didn’t get shot that night in retribution.
If the police are really going to do something about drug dealers and gangs, why don’t they start by having a presence in the areas where this activity is going on? We don’t even have a police officer in the district.
The station is sitting there empty.
For obvious reasons, don’t publish my name in the paper or I will be the next shooting victim.
Perhaps you should allow the writer of this sensational article, Tad Stoner (an appropriate name for a drug investigator), to do a little investigative reporting and find out the truth and then write about the issue.
