Griffith: Politicians are the real monsters! CoP fires back at Persad-Bissessar and Nakhid
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith, in his trademark rhetoric, responded to concerns expressed by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Senator David Nakhid about the deaths of Andrew ‘Solo’ Morris and Joel Belcon while in police custody with personal attacks today, via a Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) release.
Griffith suggested that Persad-Bissessar and Nakhid were hypocrites and monsters but did not directly respond to the issues raised by the politicians other than to point out that an investigation is underway.

PDP deputy leader: More than pepper spray needed to combat violence
PDP deputy political leader Faith BYisreal. - JEFF K MAYERS
Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) deputy political leader Dr Faith BYisrael says while she supports the use of pepper spray as a mechanism to protect vulnerable women, the issues surrounding violence requires a holistic approach.
Attorney General Faris Al Rawi speaking on a PNM platform in Belmont last week said the National Security Council had approved the use of pepper spray and other non-lethal devices.
Al Rawi said he has already drafted law, on the direction of the Prime Minister and National Security Minister Stuart Young, who sought advice from experts on implementing the policy. On Friday, the Prime Minister said in Parliament the Cabinet would consider the AG’s proposed regulations but noted the use of pepper spray would require a permit.
Daly Bread: Entrepreneurial spirit of Carnival artistes provides light in gloom of violent crime
Today on what should have been Carnival Sunday, I find myself in a place where darkness and light have fiercely contested for attention throughout the preceding week.
The contest between darkness and light has been triggered, on the dark side, by the murder of Andrea Bharatt; and, on the light side, by the attention which the performing arts demanded of us, despite the ban on the usual Carnival gatherings, in presenting show after show.
