Police PRO Kenth Matthew has reported the death of a 39-year-old man from a southern community who died while attempting a daring escape from police.
The police have identified the man as Alvin Liverpool of Grand Coulibri who they said jumped into a precipice in his bid to escape them.
Matthew stated, “On the afternoon of Wednesday October 12, 2011, a police patrol came upon a sizable marijuana field in the Grand Coulibri area, when their sudden appearance surprised a man, 39-year-old Alvin Liverpool of Grand Coulibri, who was in that field then. Liverpool promptly ran away and jumped [down] a 150-200 foot precipice, in an effort to evade the Police. Officers familiar with that area feared the worst, that is to say, they believed that Liverpool, by using that mode of escape, may have caused himself grave injury.”
A search was subsequently mounted for Liverpool by the unit on patrol and other police officers. The mangled body of Liverpool was eventually found and moved to the Princess Margaret Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at around 3 am on Thursday.
Matthew also reported that investigations into the circumstances surrounding Liverpool’s death have begun.
I leave a leave a response when I especially enjoy a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the discussion.
It is caused by the fire communicated in the article I looked at.
And after this post Man dies in bid to escape police | Dominica News Online.
I was actually moved enough to post a thought ;) I do have a few questions for you if you don’t mind. Is it simply me or do a few of the remarks appear like written by brain dead individuals? And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you list every one of all your shared sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
the worstset of pple for allu to ramp with is gbay pple,,,, let dem police believe the coming gbay and do wot they want but they forget they have family and they do forget they have kids,,,wen somebody from grandbay make one example with that drug squad they will c if they will neva come back grandbay and make poor black pple suffer,,,,, that example will be made one day dont worry
Ehbeh Grandbay people bad papa. Are you all not tired of playing bad? You all have made a “name” for yourselves as long as I can remember. Now you are threatening drug squad… isn’t it time to return the borrowed computer?
everybody just saying what they want to say.. but all i want to know is how a body can fall from that height and not have bruises all over.. only the side of his head had a blow and his mouth.. so tell me what that about?
This incident has definitely raised loads of comments, reflecting its importance to readers of this forum. I would imagine that they reflect feelings of society in general. I think that readers are generally perceptive enough to see who has a motive based on the slant of their comments. I just felt like putting my own observations.
1. If it was a big plantation and the deceased was somewhat overweight AND the area is rough terrain we c an assume that he was not alone. It seems obvious that the more more mobile members of the team were able to flee.
2. The deceased gentleman MUST have known that he could never have outrun the boys in uniform.
3. He was unarmed at that point as we would already have heard about it.
4. Falling down a ravine seems an unlikely reaction as it does not make sense.
5. The comments here and clearly from the girlfriend of the, but it seems the body was riddled with bullets including at least one in the head!
One of the comments said that the cops may have shot him from running. A shot in the head would definitely accomplish that goal. But is this how we want or expect our police force to act in dealing with citizens.
Are you going to believe that the whole squad could not apprehend the deceased without such deadly force. Then we come back to the leader of the squad and from the thread of many comments is maybe the biggest red flag in the whole scenario.
From my own investigations it appears that it was a rather small plantation with more sorrel than marijuana plants. ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF DOMINICA, MARIJUANA IS AN ILLEGAL DRUG.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE IT IS ILLEGAL.
I will continue to keep an open mind unlike some who are lop-sided as if they have personal interests, and hope that the investigations are carried out fairly to reveal the truth. The officers involved will answer to the lawyers when the time comes. Its only a matter of time. Let’s just be patient.
Well, I want to offer my condolences to this man family. We must wait and see what is the finding of the internal investigation which is being conducted by the Police Department. I am sure Dominica Police Department has an Internal Affairs Bureau or an Office of Professional responsibilities who will be investigating this incident. It’s my understanding that four shot’s were fired but if the man is unarmed and running away from the Police then why fire four shots at him. The police is allowed to use deadly physical force only if deadly force is being used or threathened to be used against them. An Officer cannot used deadly force against someone who is running away and posed no threat to them. Also when an autopsy is performed they will be able tell if this man died from a bullet wound, if he died prior to falling over the precipice or if he died from injuries he sustained after he fell over the precipice. As someone who participated into over one thousand homicide investigations and spent three and a half years in Internal Affairs Bureau of NYPD and also three years on a Police Involved shooting team which investigated every Police involved shooting in Brooklyn. I can say with centaintity that once an impartial investigation is conducted. The final disposition is usually differant from what the Police Department spokesman say. It is also my understanding that one of the Officer involved in this incident has a prior history. I think for the best interest of the Police Department and to build citizens confidence this Officer should by placed on modify assignment until this internal investigation is completed.
Well sorry DNO for not putting my Email address in the proper box thats why I am listed as Anonymous rather I am “Tony”. Please fix it if you can, thanks.
ebbey i must say right now we as domininiche calling bad good and good bad people now can buy n sell sor plant drugs in the name of survival we have weighed and say which drug is bad n which is good dominicans wake up these people who plaqnt buy n sell they are slowly killing our future generations ok look at haiti do want to be like them the now generation paying for the sins of their fore parents
haiti story is much different sir . go and learn some history. haiti was raped. and dominica whoring.
as a young man in Dominica, I am encouraging my brothers to stay away from drugs, when you are involved in drugs and you die in that life, to most Dominicans there should be no investigation into your cause of death……its almost like an animal that get hit by a bus… brothers, if you want your children to know your cause of death. stay away from the drug life….otherwise when you die everybody will look the other way and say “oh well, is drugs he was dealing so we dont need to know the circumstances around his death…..please read and listen to the comments that are being made…and stay away from the drug life.
I would like to ask a question, Is their any particular reason why truth and justice is taking this case SO PERSONALLY??????? this guy 1979 posts about PWC and their issues i think perhaps because it affects him personally. so I would like to ask, why this person “truth and justice” is hovering over every comment made about the questions surrounding this particular incident…. please admin Inquiring minds whats to know.
@ executive command
What executive command are you? None at all! I did not take it personally per se. I am interested in Law, Order and Justice and all for it which is beneficial to Dominica and its nationals, also in not accusing anyone as the Police in killing the man as some of these Users/Readers have stipulated.
There are some of you who are not fair and just, who misconstrue what people state and do not put on your thinking cap and think rationally. I hope this assists your inquiring mind and sets it at rest.
Someone died and gave truth and justice the Moral Compass. That person seem to be trying to show that he/she holds higher morals than anyone else.
Get down from your high unicorn, and look at the reality we live in. There is two side to a story, police are sometimes bigger criminals than the ordinary man.
To be a fair thinking person one has to be in the middle and analyse facts from both sides.
The facts here are one sided.
@ C/bean Genius
People should be judged by what comes out of their mouth and out of their fingers to the keyboard and posted. So by their words/ fruits you will (should) know them. This is my response and explanation to you. If you are not able to comprehend this you need to return to kindergarten and start right from the beginning.
You are totally wrong to accuse the Police. Were you present at the scene? Do you see your error and imperfection? You are no genius at all.
@ truth & justice
You dont deserve an answer. But someone can be anything hiding behind their pc screens and keyboard. Or maybe you new to the net so you think people are who they say they are online… lol
But compared to you and your bias ideas.. I am more than a genius.
By the way if you had read my comment properly you would see i wasnt accusing the police of killing the guy. Or maybe you think no police are criminals. Go back to fairtale land. Leave the reality for us, who rather live in it.
I AGREE WITH YOU THE PEOPLE ARE STUPID
As much as you think we Dominican are clueless when it comes to Gods law, I bet…if you are to die while typing on a particular topic on DNO…your chances of entering his kingdom are limited, cause when you criticize his children..there is nothing Godly about that, he does not like ugly, and ugly! you are, in great magnitude..
@ Anonymous
You are judging people. Only God knows the extent of one’s spirituality and faithfulness. You have no way of knowing. Therefore, do not attack as Satan does and do not do this work and follow him.
I would think that you are the ugly one as imbedded in your heart, mind, through your fingers and through the keyboard. Satan can use people as you to attack others in such a manner. The Internet is a good place to also perform Satan’s work even unsuspectingly. Examine your conscience and note what you state to others.
Be careful of stones that you throw for what goes around comes around and soon enough. This Website should be utilized for sensible dialogue to speak the truth that others might learn something educating. It should not be utilized to attack others. This is not what this Website is meant for. Therefore, you should refrain from personal attacks. When are you are you going to learn this? You do not know the person. You are silly and lack intelligence and most of all “LOVE” for others. This is not what this Website is meant for. I do not know you and have no wish to know you. I can only judge you by what you state. By their words/statements you will know them.
@ Truth and so called Justice….if what we do should be done in moderation, should commenting excessively be exempt?…you condemn every ones comment! assuming all you write is right and based on topic..
To make this short..stop being an antagonistic FOOL….we can all read, write and understand…
you’re not the only one with a PC…and for your information..some of us was born with one in our homes, where as you bought your a few years ago..meaning you was already 50 something years OLD….grandpa..you like the child who never got toys..or the cobbler without shoe….
STOP HATING…
@ Anonymous
Call a spade a spade. I stand up for what is right to do and say.
You are the one who is spewing hatred and making statements that you know nothing about. They are all insinuations and tell a lot about you, who you are and what is imbedded in your heart and mind. I conclude that I do not expect any better from you.
I do think that you do not think properly. If you read the lines and between the lines you would know that I do not condemn anyone and I do not hate. The type of mind which you possess will cause you to make such unfair and untruth statements. I merely commented about what they stated, much of which “some of them” state is negative and unfair. I am informing you this all depends on their mentality.
There are too many negative people who do not utilize their basic common sense. They condemn the Police and other people. They were not present when the man tried to escape. Therefore they are in no position to state that the Police killed him. This is accusing, demeaning and defaming the character of the Police. They have absolutely no right to do this. Yes! They could be charged. As adults they should think twice before they comment. How would they like to be accused of what which they may not be responsible for?
Their comments are also irrelevant to this article. If you note some of them who wrote positively got thumbs down. I ask myself what type of people are they who cannot see the truth of the matter and the light.
You know what this article is all about. It also has nothing to do with the PM or his Party or administration. They must stick to the issue. If you took a closer look at their writing and possess common sense you will comprehend what I stated.
You need to pray to God for discernment and enlightenment.
BE FAIR AND JUST AND COMMENT FAIRLY! People as you are bringing down the prestige of this Website.
Those as yourself who are negative are unhappy and miserable people.
stupes, I swear you are just another Wikileaks. If you want to mute the people who are critical of issues you simply are no better than a pacifist. look all around the world. people are no longer taking reported issues at face value an are questioning those who are accountable to them, you should start you own movement. Just like there is the “Occupy wall street” movement in america right now, you should start your own campaign to “silence the public”
your conclusion well long papa. since line 5 five you say you conclude but you go on with at least four more paragraphs…It seem you was there since you know FOR A FACT that he ran from the police, in my opinion YOU are in NO POSITION TO DEFEND THEM!!! People like you RELISH the thought of a society where people are afraid to open their mouths for fear of a LAWSUIT…. Well I want people like you to understand that People like me will be talking all when we in the basement of the Jail. Question: Do you think that Denny’s confession is enough to warrant an investigation???? Ill answer for you, NO YOU DONT, Because you are afaid of what the truth just might REVEAL!
@Anonymous
Do not be silly and cease repeating yourself. Allow others their God-given privilege of commenting just as you do.
I am reiterating cease attacking! Be loving, peaceful and kind! You need to adopt these godly virtues if you wish to be happy. Some of you need to learn this.
Did we not have that same scenario in February of this year
Yes.
Coincidence? The same officer in charge of mission.
HE SHOULD NOT RAN FROM THE COPS. HE SHOULD
JUST ACCEPTED THAT HE IS BEING BUSTED. THE
COPS, GOD AND THE ALVIN KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED
BUT DEAD MAN CAN’T TALK. I AM SO SORRY HIS
LIFE HAD TO END THIS WAY, MAY HIS SOUL REST
IN PEACE. IF THEY SHOT HIM THAT SAD BUT IF
HE JUMPED DOWN THE CLIFF ALL THIS COULD BE
AVOIDED.
@Justice and Truth: I think it’s time you get a life. Just comment and get out,,, and Toronto not even cold yet. lol lol
@ Josette
I have a great life. Do you have one? What is yours like? Are you happy? Cease being negative and bringing down your Police Force and criticizing those who stand up for the truth. Every one of them is not one and the same. If you were not present when the Police approached the man, you should not make a derogatory comment about them. It is people like you who bring down your very own country and inhibit its progress. What people as you write tell a lot about you. Note that I did not condemn the perpetrator who ran away from the Police and into a precipice.
I should know that the world consists of every type of people with all sorts of minds. We are not one and the same. We do not think alike. Some are negative people and others are positive ones. Some are sensible and utilize their good judgment according to their mentality and others do not; it is as if they do not possess any. Some uplift others and some do not. People’s writing tell a lot about them and what is imbedded in their mind. Surely those negative Dominicans, wherever they may reside, should be smarter than that.
Give people the rightful privilege of commenting just as you expect of others.
I have a good life as well working in a gym and taking care of my dread locks, thanks to my dad for taking me out of Dominica
So he jump on a cliff he didn’t know how deep it was? That’s dumb. If he jumped it and he know how deep it was, it’s Technically sucuide.
Well suicide happens quite often when a certain police officer is on a drug mission. Is this a coincidence?
i think he paniced, and when we panic common sense flies out the window. First of all thats a dangerous area to plant, so I dont know why poeple risk their lives for the dirty money that drugs bring. If he had used his common sense he would just get arrested, go up storcky , get fatter on my tax payers money and be out in no time to start a new field somewhere else. BUT GOD IS NOT ASLEEP, HE WAS NOT SHOT, DRUGS DONT PAY…. SAD TO SAY BUT HE DIED BY HIS OWN FEET
@ Is it true?
Desperation will cause people to do a lot of silly things and cause their death. It really was not smart of him to run from the Police. How far did he expect to go? See what happened to him and some of them are blaming the Police. They were not even present. It is the height of ignorance to blame the Police. Negative minds will do this.
truth and justice;
what is your position on the white powder…
prostution…money laundering….the judicial system…the health and education system..
Say something on the fire bombing of a senior citizen…
thank you truth and justice
Truth and Justice;
I am pondering on,the truths that you try to spread….however, justice is scarce.
I need for you to list all the ILLEGAL activities that exist in Waiti….and the world at large.
Let’s go through a little exercise and prioritise.
Look at the state of the society and honestly tell us what area you would start to fix.
I hope you read the whole commentary….are there pointers that you would go along with….please let us know
Question..are you satisfied with the state of poverty in this land?
Say honestly does it matter to you?
Thank you, truth and justice….. emanate peace and righteousness
What’s the pointe are you trying to outline . Stick to the issue
@ target
As I have stated, your comments are out of place, are uncalled for and irrelevant.
I was nurtured to stand up for the truth no matter what. I have not deviated from it.
Unless you can prove otherwise, hold your silence and peace.
I do think that I possess ample common sense to weigh out a situation. If there is one thing I detest is negativity and without proof. Take this and smoke it in your pipe or ponder over it.
Too early to go into hibernation it’s not yet winter, people on social assistance also live a good life
condolences to the family but my boy u should have just faced the popo and do ur time instead of jumping to ur death.
@ watching
You are so correct. He has gone to an early and premature demise. It is very sad.
I don’t condone any form of illegal and evil activity.The young men and women of the South must find legitimate ways of earning an honest living.The men is involved in drugs especially cocaine destroying the youth of the community and preying on the young vulnerable girls giving them children in misery and in turn the women gets involved in prostitution for survival,this southern community is in a mess,it needs a spiritual cleansing.As regards the police they are a bunch of evil men and i will not let anything pass them.They sit at the station playing dominoe and consume alcohol and sometimes go on duty under the influence of drunkeness and shooting someone is a joke for them.When the police force can have a police who is supposed to be charged and arrested on a panel discussion what can we expect?The way things are now with the justice system we the citizens will have to do justice ourselves especially when we are violated by those who are suppose to execute justice and this includes those in power and the police.The time will come when the citizen,the government and the police will be physically at war.
sweetie i am very sorry if those things happen to you life is like that all about is not grand bay alone and yet you say those things and you haven,t change a bit you belive in evil and is not grand bay man that give you child
It look like is people of south city alone that in illegal activies other places not in it to pure bold shit u talking
Ok, marijuana is weed that grows naturally and has been around for centuries. So what? It’s illegal in DA. If you want that changed, stop crying on DNO, learn the legislative system, and sponsor a bill to legalize it. Our cops are corrupt? So what’s new? Where aren’t cops corrupt? Stop crying on DNO, get a hold of your pal rep or village citizens and do something about the rampant corruption! Grand Bay is a cesspool of illegal activity, so before Grand Bay people start crying on DNO about “woe is Grand Bay”, clean up your own community so others don’t have to keep coming there to do it for you. Grand Bay turns a blind eye to crime and then wants to shed crocodile tears when others do something about their criminal activity. Pluh….eeeee…ase….!!
Well you should think of going to Iran to grow and use marijuana. Look at so many people who are being executed for using that drug
Every village has been touched by illegal activity, so shut your trap trying to pin illegal activity on just Grandbay. Name us one village or town that does not have illegal activity. If you say yours, then you are living in the dark ages or under a rock.
Joe,if every village in Dominica was like Grand Bay,there would be civil war,ethnic war and turf war almost every day.
@ Joe
Some people have a problem by condemning a village. Something is wrong with their warped mind. They are narrow-minded.
There is not one country in the world that is immune from illegal drug activities. It is a grave and growing problem. This is why the government must do all it can to eradicate it for drugs kill. It is a disease which affects the brains, the memory and other parts of the body. I would not recommend it and not even for medicinal purposes. Some people use it to stabilize pain but it does more harm than good.
I AGREE
TOO MANY POEPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY ARE PARASITES, THEY RELY ON BARRELS FROM sT tHOMAS THAT HARDLY EVER COMES THESE DAYS, AND FAST MONEY WHETHER IT IS DRUGS, BUGGERY, OR PROSTITUTION. THIS GENERATION HAS SHAMED THE ELDERS OF GRAND BAY WHO HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR THEIR HARD WORK IN SUPPLYING THE NATION WITH FOOD. SHAME SHAME SHAME, GRANDBARIANS HAVE BEEN KNOWN IN HISTORY TO WORK HARD IN UNITY, TO SET UP COMMUNITIES NOW YOU YOUTHS HAVE DESTRYED THE PEDESTAL WE ONCE HELD IN SOCIETY…..SHAME SHAME SHAME
Come next year 2012, the Caribbean is to benefit from another injection of $US77 million from the United States to fight crime. But you know what they interested in keeping from their country…..Coke and hard drugs.
Now just watch Dominica police use their portion of that grant money to persecute marijuana in Dominica. They are profiting from the coke, fattening the crack dealers pockets and benefiting on the side. I know, I heard it directly from a millionaire coke.crack/dealer they can’t touch for years now.
I’m sure you never heard of a millionaire Ganja farmer.
Marijuana has tooo big a foot-print for police to benefit from. It takes bags of that weed for them to make a few bucks, but the coke, it only takes a hand full to make thousands of dollars. Figure that out. It’s SICKENING!
Yes i! sometimes i wonder wi; but then again….police this police that….we dominican half the time just seat and making useless assumptions…we dont know but we already done conclude what we want. we always go by “hearsay” am positively sure that 100% of this useless comment writers was nowhere at the scene at the time of the event taking place… as far as i am concerned we have no right here to judge cause we dont no….if the man ran and he got shot in the running and ended up in a ravin well am sorry for him. if police was the one to kill him and cover up well the blood is on there hands may god be with them….we are not here to judge and rule useless verdicts on ppl….
to the people asking that police go rome the sea’s well am sure thats what the coast guard is here for and let the police do what they do on land……..peace
hello hello hello.its very obvious that something is wrong here.information reaching me says the incident happened at one in the afternoon and thats big bright day.secondly four shots were fired,thirdly grandbay hospital was bypassed and they went straight to town.my question is if kent and the police is speaking the truth why it took so long to call for help?were they trying to cover their tracks?well if thats the case they did a very lousy job in covering it and am not surprised when i understood that A LUNATIC was heading the so called OPERATION.a word of caution to police u donot have to kill someone to get a PROMOTION.
This police officer in question heading this operation is coincidentally involved in more than one “so-called suicidal activity”. That is cause for concern and questioning.
HOW MUCH OF YOUR STORY IS ACCURATE? CAN YOU STAND UP IN COURT WITH THE EVIDENCE TO BACK YOUR STATEMENTS?
so true u dont have to kill or neither do you have to use any excessive force to gain power>These police in Dominica is all they worth>And what kills me is they cannot even take a good statement>i have on numeral occasions te magistrate telling the police prosecutor to teach them to spell and write correctly>So they will do anything to get promotion,all they do is prey on these poor people but they are afraid of the bullies.But their turn coming.They use their salary to drink rum and run woman and alyaws want to know where you get your hard earned money from.those tougu brokes.
lol
TO THE COPS IN THIS LAND.HAVE U ALL STOP AND REFLECT ON HOW YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS MAY TURN In LIFE .IF IT IS TRUE THAT THE MAN WAS MURDERD BY THE POLICE;THEN I SAY WOE TO the MUDERWRS.if he did jump to his death then god be with u bro u were only trying to earn a living;while the police themselves facilitate the white powder.
If the law says marijuana is illegal then it is illegal. There is no getting away from that. However, I am of he opinion that the police are not doing their duty in the right way. Forced is to be used only when necessary. Were the gunshots necessary? I would like the officers involved to justify the gunshots fired. Four (4) to be precise. Why was it necessary? Was the man armed? One of the officers knew the individual by name. He did not have to be frightened with gunshots to the point of jumping over a precipice. Was it a deliberate attempt by one of the officers who has a track record of causing people to jump over cliffs to repeat the same thing again. What a shame, what a shame to repeat that same mistake again.
@ Anonymous
There you go again saying, “If it is true the man was murdered by the Police.” Where did you get that information? Who told you? Note how wrong you are again insinuating and commenting on hearsay.
I would not believe it unless I hear otherwise straight from the Police. For now, give them the benefit of the doubt. This is what a sensible person would do.

the other men and them that was on de platation need to talk the police and then come with big guns only and nothing if something happen to one of them come on people. if they don,t pay now but there children,grand children will after they will say is people that do them that but is somebody child they did that to.
what are you trying to say? take your time and write so everyone can understand you man!
@ Grandbay Againe
Did you mean, “Again?” They attack and judge others but they never think of themselves, their future and what may happen to them. Think of yourself. Just ensure that you live a godly, law-abiding and loving life to everyone so that your children will not have to pay. It is said that “the sins of the father/mother follow the children to the third generation” if not more to eternity.
A friend who is a police once told me that he was in the forest 2am searching for marijuana. No one can pay me a meager salary, and send me to the forest at 2am searching for plants. Especially when i know the racketeering, smuggling and corruption is control by the bigger heads in society..
Dominica is going to implode, time will tell.

You refer to yourself as a genius? The word is “explode.” Check your dictionary, Thesaurus and other methods prior to posting your improper words.
Dominica will not explode; no different from other countries. Have faith in your country and pray for it, yourself and other nationals.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, ummmmm, there is a word such as “implode”, your presentation is indicative that you have an interest in this incident….either you was their, or one of the policemen is related to you.

that dude is too big to run i know him well. the man can handle walk,why he ran nah???? but mister was so quiet and he in ganja field i would never say that.may his soul rest in peace.
Tell the police that this story has a lot of loop holes and big man like fatso with a bad knee how can he out run those police officers that is suppose to be physically fit. Stop making the public believe that the precipise was next to the field my yout.Two wrongs cannot make a right. Tell the bull dog to tell the truth bout the man it is not a dog that they kill man. people kill and they are bailed do you think a man will commit suicide because they catch him in a weed plantation be real man. The man knows his area better than bull dag ehh.
One of the things Fatso always said was that if he is on a plantation and pursued by police he would not run. He apparently knew the area very well. Why would he choose to run into a precipice? Someone has to convince me to believe that he chose to commit suicide. Could he have be led to run into the precipice. If you are blocked left, right, and back, you have no choice but to go the way that is free, “into the precipice.” What a gruesome way to die. Well, it’s only the police words. Dead man tell no tales.
Now it’s time to bring in CSI Miami…David Caruso, (Horatio Caine.)…we’ll all know the truth….something seem strange…
lets say that they knew their target!!!! went on a mission to apprehend (A FARMER) messed up that bad!!!!These cops should be sent to boot camp, major training is required…
But who am I to talk….they say that police job is to protect right….
The police themselves tell lies. One thing that is obvious to me is that the guy was running from something terrifying- a hail of bullets. With the green wall of silence we will never know the truth. I am old enough to know what is fact from fiction.
remember well policemen are government paid hitmen;plain and simply doing crime is part of there job as well. why do u think when they catch coke dealers the taste it is to see if they can trade after.you ever hear they destroy coke they does take from the so called dealers? they always showing they burnig the ganja but never what happen to the coke………think abot it ppl drug dealers pay more jailtime than murderers b’cuz they squeezing the legal dealers market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$££££££££££€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ money talks ppl listen for it.
Probably he was running away from the gunshots and ended up in the precipice. Why were the gunshots necessary. Need some explanation.
The man could hardly walk much less run. How could he be running away from the police?
@ Star Wars
If only you were God you would surely know the truth. Since you are not God and were not present hold your peace and keep quiet. People could be charged for making derogatory statements and about the Police. Watch your comments.
The world is filled with hypocrites. While you condemn the Police are you true and faithful to those whom you associate with? There is always a tendence that the pot calls the kettle black. Food for thought.
If only you were God you would surely know the truth. Since you are not God and were not present hold your peace, and keep quiet.The world is filled with hypocrites. And you, are the chief hypocrites.
them police man all about eliminating them drugs man,nothing more.the story makes no sense.if the man jump of the cliff why bother carry out investigations? my theory is the kill the man and throw his body over the cliff.they need to get an independent pathologist.i don’t trust the state provied one. they will cover the police ill deeds.
Fast money has a price,plant yam,dasheen…….

You are intelligent. I love yam, dasheen, etc. The thought of them make me hungry. These foods/vegetables are nutritious to the body and strengthen it. Drugs do not. They can make those who use them dotish. They only land people into trouble, illness and eventual early death.
A young man was killed on Thursday evening in Toronto. Last night or early morning another was killed. There are times there are more deaths in one week/weekend due to drug trafficking and affiliation with the wrong people. It is a cause for concern.
These young men were affiliated with drugs; they were known to the Police. Such a waste of God-given life.
I looked up the word “dotish” on the computer Research. The meaning is:
“Caribbean; considered to be lacking in intelligence or sense (insult).” This made me laugh. It is a West Indian word. I do not hear this word/have not heard it in the country/city I reside in. There are times I surprise myself and laugh too when I utilize words which I knew in Dominica.
I think the Police did a slopy job and there was a mistake done, they should Man Up and say they are sorry and apologize to the people. I think they should bring the FBI to investigate that one because Police covering up for Police. It is time that there is justice in this place. Rest in Peace Alvin i pray that the truth will come up.
@ Vi one
How can they? You know the truth? The statements that some people make without knowing the truth; always assuming and concluding. Wrong!
Police do their duties they get blame. then some people still say they don’t do their work. From all the comments above because marijuana is a herb so it is legalzed…..Dominicans have lost their sense of reasoning……
@ The truth
I do believe that some of those who comment and criticize those who stand up for what is right have really lost their sense of reasoning. You said it very well.
DE SAME WAY DEM POLICE KILL MWUNGA AND DE SAME WAY THEY KILL JAHSINTO AND COSTO IN DE SEA IN GRANDBAY.
That is why Muwanga investigation gone cold.
I think some of us should think when we talk. Do you have proof that police kill the people you mentioned….were you there…..then if not i think you should shut your behind cause it is people like you who makes crime increase. When you want to have beef with the police, you will never say when you see someone doing something wrong and those things leads to more crime……..so when you do not have anything sensible to say we all would be happy if you SHUT UP.
WTF! Dem police kill mwanga? All u not easy in dat place.
Ok, I can say one thing, muwanga was BLUE to the bone!!! He always come around the other “road boyz” and say, “that RMS is not for us fellas, I warning allu mister not easy” allu will see, …..If you ask me…..all now I seeing eh…. whatever muwanga was warning us about, I think we seeing it now……..I AM NOT LYING ADMIN. ANYONE WHO KNEW “DE DREAD” CAN TELL YOU IM NOT MAKING THIS UP…..
I thijnk that Alvin should have doen the right thing when they approached him: Surrender! He would have been given a two year sentence or maybe even got bailed out. If you are man enough to plant reefa, then be man enough to own up, and surrender when they catch you. That said, my condolences to his/my family in Bordeaux. I have not seen Alvin in a million years, but he is family. I am praying for all of you.
It does not matter how familiar you are with an area, it is a different ball game at night. One can become disoriented and crazy things can happen. He did run from the police but went the wrong way and fell headfirst.
Tetemorne….Neither you nor Alvin would jump in that area you know as BwenJen. Word on the street is Alvin knows BwenJen and he would never jump there. I guess you are in Texas now you forget. The article clearly says: “On the afternoon of Wednesday October 12, 2011, a police patrol came upon….”
Even though you don’t smoke it, neither do many of us, we know that marijuana is no danger to our society evidenced from over 40 years of it’s presence in D/a and Guadaloupe.
In fact, crack and the ineptness of the Gov’t to create employment is a greater danger. Also evidenced by so many youth who lost their lives going back door just to find employment.
Conflict, who told you that I live in Texas? You “sound” like family, chill out with your BwenJen business. Alvin knew Bwenjen too well, we all know BwenJen as a treacherous,dangerous place. I would not be caught dead ( no pun intended) there. Alvin is my relative and we are saddened that he died such a gruesome death. Had it been anyone else, my opinion would remain the same: He should have surrendered instead of running away when they came up on him. I pray for my family!
So Tetemorne,,,,You buy the police story that Alvin committed suicide eh. Think again pal!
sounds like you have the inside story. no one but those alive knows what went on and from what they are saying something aint right.
@ TeteMorne I from
He was not smart to try to evade the Police. How sad that he has gone to his eternal judgment in this manner. I wonder if God had mercy on his soul. I cannot help stating that according to my Catholic Christian teaching and belief, he will not enter Heaven in such a state. If God had mercy on his soul, it is in Purgatory being cleansed for whatever length of time it takes due to his frailties. You better believe it.
It is not our duty to judge or condemn him. We are not God.
If only people will live by the Law they would not get involved in this melee and subsequent death.
I reside in Toronto and through the years many of our young black men and a few older ones have died – too many and too young – through drug affiliation and trafficking. They are consistently warned to stay away from illegal drugs. Only on Thursday evening, the Media reported that a young man was murdered. It saddens me that young lives are snuffed out due to drugs. I ask the Lord to please put a hand to assist the youths to stay away from drugs and bad company, not only in Dominica but in the rest of the world.
Our God-give life is too precious for us not to enjoy this allotted time to live as long as the appointed length of our days in happiness, peace and harmony with health and strength.
Let us pray for the world but also for our youths, wherever we may reside.
I meant “God-given” life.
Shut you the hell, enjoy your life in Canada, wondering if this happen in the village of Point Michel or had it been your relative, The Catholic Church do not practise what it preaches also what about the catholic Church abusing all them altar boys, as per the Catholic priest and Bishops in Canada
Truth, c’mon do you really think that I am being judgmental? I firmly believe that if my fam had just surrendered he’d be alive today. We know what’s been told to us by the cops and that’s all…for now.
May God have mercy on YOUR soul for believing in purgatory!
it’s OK cause I did not read..
You lie!..Damn Lie!…You from Canada,but you are in Dominica..You live in Dominica at present….You are not from Dominica but always commenting on things that do not concerns you….Why don’t you just stay out of People’s business and Dominica’s business also?…..Always quick to condem,and judge..Frigging hypocrite….You better watch your damn self…..
tete morne ur a hypocrite………….just so u want d man to pay a fine…………people done desperate already…………….d man jump down a precipice………..if he had money to deal wit it he doe jump………………..
How am I a hypocrite? It is because I tell the truth? Family or not, he SHOULD not run from the police. Let me put it this way: I KNOW the INSIDE scoop, I know what YOU and the others on here, do not know…capiche? I am not willing to disclose any more info on this forum, but, I will tell you a little secret: He was NOT shot by no police.
Sometimes we make dumb decisions and somewhere down de road we have to pay for it. How are you so sure that he would not be bailed out??????
you all seam to be forgeting that alvin could hardly walk being almost 400pounds .so how could he RUN ANYWHERE?
Were you there? How do you know he ran from the police? The man could hardly walk much less for run. And for your information it was daytime not night time. Get the facts before giving your opinion. If you are making negative comments do so. If you are sending condolences do so. But do not mix those two matters. You sound like a hypocrite. Saying all those negative things and then sending condolences.
Old Voice,
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was not there and neither were you. Before allu start calling people hypocrite, used the borrowed computer and look up the REAL meaning. Again…my condolences to the fam. You looking for story from me but you will NEVER get it on here. Do continue to believe what you want to and i will do the same. Have a great day PAL!
Obviously the trap door that took him down slide didn’t open up or he thought he was Indiana Jones.
My boy was setting up a ganja plantation and his egress strategy is a “Faleze” man – common on. All you them Ganja man making all that money buy parachute or build elevators that drop you off at the river edge then kayak down the river.
If you investing go all the way. See how Skerrit have Tony as the in house lawyer and Bull dog so too you ganga guys must higher an in house lawyer so when your elevator or parachute malfunctioning just tell the cops take you to your lawyer and then the TOP COP, AG and your lawyer will deal with the matter privately.
The advise provided is not necessarily the views of the Jacky Chan nor DNO
lol.just wat i need tonight to ease some work related stress
@ Jacky chan
Stick to the issue. Where does the PM and Tony come in, in this issue? You comments make no sense whatsoever.
Obviously it is not the views of DNO. DNO as the Media does not provide such information and silly ones.
If it is not Jacky chan who is it? This is the name you provided on DNO. Then you are impersonating someone else. If you do, you should be charged. Who are you trying to deceive?
lol
Fyah Bun dem Babylon…..Time will reveal…
you not a concern citizen, you are just a jackass……….listen to you your chat…
Ah so dem babylon stay cause they know “dead man tell no tale”, but na fi worry cause dem time ah come real soon.
Cha: dem man on d sea, bayside, wayside, all up in dem police faces with all d white powder, heroin, guns and ammunition an ah u chasing one man for herb?????????
Carrette and co. all you fraid d big boi dem<:Cha!!!!!!!
Are you a Dominican or wanna-beian? just asking,’cause your post is all messed up lol.
Urbane is Dominican making magjee on here.
@ Woodford Hill girl
It is indeed messed up. This is telling it like it is, to the point and briefly.
Um…are you supposed to be jamaican? antiguan? you’re not impressing anyone with your cohcoy english. that being said, your point is well taken. everyone on island knows that the biggest drug dealer is carrette. and his brand of drugs is the white powdery kind coming from venezuela. and yes, his time, as well as the all the others poisoning this country with their drugs, is coming.
@ J Mac
You are a bold person who appears not to be afraid of the hands of the Law. Some of you are something else. I would not exult your statement or give you thumbs up. You are setting yourself up for an arrest and court case for defamation of character. Beware of your words/statements they may come to hunt you sometime.
my deepest sympathy goes out to the family of this young man. lord forgive me if am judging but my gurts feeling telling me this story from those pow pow is so not true.i believe they killed this man.these guys r wicked enough for that. if u u guys remeber yrs ago this man fr mahaut by the name of john rose they threw below that precipise going down tarreu? if about that. and theres many deaths going on in da and we thinking is civilans doing it? but god is not a police they will pay pay pay.my case close. wicked police all they worth and cannot solve a simple crime.
I do not understand the PRO– he is not a straight forward person like Weeks. A radio personality asked him if there were any ammunitions involved in the riot between the police and the deceased; he denied it and rested on the fact that the man was so stupid that he jumped over a cliff where he succumbed to his death.
But if there were no ammunitions involved how on earth the deceased sustained several bullet holes on his corpse including one in his head??!! We need answers..
if that is the case then this evidence needs to be disclosed. the information needs to be told. nothing was said by the police or examiners about the victim receiving gun shots. so then it wouldn’t just be the police covering things up. this would have serious implications on our entire society’s structure and how it’s organized and how it functions.
i agree with you because… if he died from just falling.. why did he get a gun shot wound in his head ??? ….
@ Questions
Some of you are too quick to caste the stone when you are not the investigating team or the Police. Give the Police the benefit of the doubt. You were not there and so none of you should make a rash judgment for you are not correct. You are only assuming what transpired.
Consider that when criminals try to run away from the Police, they will be shot at to prevent them from running. The intent is to catch them and not allow them to run away. Do the DA Police have Tasers? Then Tasers could be used.
Never come to a conclusion until you hear the result of the investigation. I do find that some of you think too little of the Police. It is time for a change of heart, manner of thinking and opinion.
Wondering if this happen to you sons daughter, step daughter ect what would you say, as we all know the level of crime in Toronto is worst than Dominica, what about all those who are and were wrongfully charged, killed by police in Canada/Toronto for crime they did not committed, when it reaches home we always sing another tune
boy justice where can someone run in dominica and not get caught at some point especailly if u already know who u looking for.Police knew who’s plantation it was so they know qho was running and how fast could a 300 hundred pound run anyway.Furthermore this guy knows the area better than anyone.and we will never hear the truth remember this is not the first time this has happened.1979 guy named johnny was smoking a joint and when he saw the squad he ran j….. shot him in his back killed him,it was covered up no one was ever charged.Police cannot shoot u because u run it’s unconstitutional.
I myself want 2 know cause d policeman say on the news and I quote “no shots were fired”…well tell me about it eh.
CAN YOU SUPPORT THAT IN COURT
Like Peter Tosh say: “Legalize marijuana…..so there’ll be no more smoking and feeling tense, when i see them i don’t have to jump no fence……so there’ll be no more police brutality, no more disrespect for humanity…..so there’ll be no more illegal humiliation, no more police interrogation…..there’ll be no more need to smoke and hide when u know u’re taking a legal ride”.
R.I.P Mr. Ganja Farmer.
Splendid solution! Let’s legalise stealin too and we’reduce our crime rate at a stroke. You all smoking too much weed and your mind all crooked.
@ Bush Doctor
What type of Bush Doctor are you? I do not think that you want what is best for others and those who indulge in illegal drugs.
What can legalizing these drugs do for those who ingest them? What health benefit is to be derived from them? This is the question.
You should remain in the bush and never get out of it. You appear to be living in a world of fantasy. Face reality.
If these types of drugs are legalized I visualize that the world will be in a worst state than it is. It will be in a worst than alcoholics which is bad enough.
These people need JESUS! GIVE THEM JESUS! GO TO CHURCH, PRAY TO GOD, FOR THEMSELVES, FOR THEIR CHURCH AND COUNTRY, FOR THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS, POLITICIANS, PASTORS AND THE ENTIRE WORLD IN GENERAL. They are living a wasted life – in futility – which will get them nowhere, not even to the heart and presence of God. This is the advice that they are in dire need of to practice godliness.
People involve in drugs are not the only ones, who need God, what about those raping their step daughters, stealing, using old guys for their money, the ten commandments says it all, please
who said that mariguana should be illegal…….it is the slaveowners who realised that it was only through the use of the herb ….mariguans, lemon grass, sour sop,,,,etc the African can stand… the herb is his meat ..ordained by the Creator in the Holy Bible.
Just like an obessed man, food and mariguana must be used with discretion and not used to gather wealth AND BECOME DOTISH AND INARTICULATE.
It has several properities that could ensure a profitable manufacturing business for rope, paper, rope, cloth and seeds for nutrition.IT IS NOT A CRIMINAL DRUG. IT IS PART OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATION.
It seems like the agenda of the anti christ to always have us in a corner waiting for the dead food
But even that, it is because they cant control the profitability of ALL HERBS, they decide to halt and control every herb….
Remember some years ago, the propaganda against coconut oil caused a frenzy with the lies of this oil being loaded with cholestorol..it was a big, big lie….
They were promoting their engendered oils!!!!!
If the use of the herb is illegal why is the use of alcohol not illegal..?It is because they control the mode of production…thus the profits..
A man should not be treated as an animal if he is found with the herb.
One reseveration that is real is the over use and the greed.
What I suggest is ensure every man his right to live, work and shelter in an organised way and dont leave poor men on their own devise and then chase them as rats,
Social science is not to show knowledge but to implement programs that include everybody …
dont marginalise the poor..
respect our history and place every man as the Creator expects us to.
STOP OPERATING ACCORDING TO EVERY BECK AND CALL OF THE FORMER SLAVEOWNERS AND ENGAGE IN PROGRAMS THAT WILL REPAIR THE SEVERE DAMAGE THAT CAME UPON US AS A PEOPLE FOR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AND GOING
BLACK PEOPLE WISE UP. IT IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS THEY PROGRAM US TO THINK…….WALK A MILE
@ target
You are off target. If you think that those drugs are good and healthy for consumption, think that through the years those people have viewed a way of taking advantage of them and of the system. Illegal drugs have proved dangerous. People have lost their families, homes, jobs and savings due to those drugs. Do you not hear the news and read about it?
They are grown for monetary value and to be either well-of or rich. They do not care whom they sell them to and who takes them, be they adolescents.
Anything taken in excess is dangerous. There is no moderation among those who grow them, who sell them and who take them. This is what makes them dangerous, just as those who drink liquor to excess. When are you going to utilize your basic common sense and good judgment if you have any? Those illegal drugs should never be legalized. They should also not be grown in view of the fact that they are money-making which will only benefit those who grow them and traffic in them. They will not benefit society. In other words, taxes will not be paid for the exorbitant sums of money which will be derived from selling them. The growers will never be honest about their sale. Worst of all, get this straight they are a danger to the health of society. We need to preserve life and our health and not destroy it. Illegal drugs destroy health. This is the first and foremost issue and concern.
dem police kill de man talk the true not to lie
@ Anonymous
If the Police know who you are you could be arrested and imprisoned for defamation of character. You should never make such a statement which could land you in serious trouble with the Law. Some of you are too free, in this case, with your fingers as words are generated through your heart, mind and thoughts. Be careful about what you state for fear of incriminating yourself.
WITH MY CRITICAL EYE I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR WORDS,AND I REITERATE……WE HAVE NO FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF IS JAIL FOR SPEAKING OUR MINDS, THEN JAIL IT IS……LIKE MANDELA AND LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO VALUES THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE AN OPINION!!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE BUYING THE TYPE OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE THAT YOU ARE CLAIMING HERE….FRET NOT MAN WE ALL WILL GET WHAT COMING TO US…..HOSPITAL, JAIL AND CEMETERY EACH TO HIS OWN…..

October 14, 2011 Your comment is awaiting moderation. Like or Dislike: 0 0
First of all why you chasing the man for the herb? You all should be patrolling the beaches for the ‘white stuff”!
That is the police account of the incident. I guess we will never know the answer?
Even so chasing the man over a precipice this is ridiculous them police know exactly what took place, one against many who win the majority them police think that they are superior this is not so, the Almighty will deal with them the wicked ones
@ Garcon a la Maison
Sorry, my computer keyboard is not bilingual. Be broadminded. It is the Police duty to pursue and chase. It is nothing new and is done worldwide.
We have to look at the big picture; yes it is hard for we Dominicans but that doesn’t mean we have to plant marijuana or traffic cocaine to survive. There are a lot of other things we can grow to make a good like instead of doing illegal things. The man was evading police and maybe he thought he would survive cause he knew the area but only God knew what would happen. Guess it was his time.
And police have no rights to take life when they did not created in, them bastard in DA are a bunch of uneducated fools their day will come some day some how, as we all know, dead man tells no tales, so he cannot defend himself nor give an account of what transpired so them bastard are liars
@ Tomian
“Life.” You are correct. I have noted that whenever people make sensible comments some of the users wickedly give them thumbs down. I suppose this is due to the type of mentality which they possess and being unfair and unjust to the truth.
Your comments are correct. It was his time and I hope not an eternal punishment and banishment from God.
My heart and sympathy goes out towards his family. They are obviously saddened and grieving and will miss him for he was a son, a brother and probably a husband and father. I pray that God had mercy on his soul.
What are you saying, you keep blaming then sending your sympathy, you double switch blade
may your soul rest in peace…thats how you had to leave…
NO THATS NOT HOW HE HAD TO GO. THAT WAS THE WAY HE CHOSE.
@ God’s child
We should wonder about that and not be so definite about it. Only God knows!
Dat story have plenty holes in it eh my people.Police again covering their behind.Why police have to fire shots behind an unarmed man running.They the police think people didn’t hear them shooting.Why did they bypass grandbay hospital with the body(certainly not protocol)Why the incident was never on news?Are the police hiding something (hell yes they are.This man’s death is on thier hands for sure.Bigger question is why police spending so much time patrolling our woods when they would be more usefull patrolling dominica waters?I think it would make more sense to prevent drugs from leaving or entering the island.(more patrol boats).To the gov od d/a what options have u given the youth so as to deterr them from the drug trade?(None)What is america giving dominica in exchange for this all out war on ganja which they have implimented?Funny how i can drive 3 miles from my house in the states andbuy marijuana legally yet still america pressuring these small islands to stamp out the cultivation of this same weed by threatening them with visa restrictions on its people.Maybe government should get more in exchange for this nonesense from america don’t u think.Mister pm how about asking america for better and more equipment to patrol our waters.I think that’s how america does it themselves,patrolling their waters by airplanes and boats.Something is very wrong here especially when it goes as far as firing on an unarmed man causing him to even jump in a ravine to save his life.(and end up loosing it)Shame on gov policies Shame on police for killing it’s own people(brother,sister cousin friend)for the white man for unwanted peanuts(used equipment usually trash in america and outdated).
@ Backstreet boyz
I do think that you are indeed a backstreet boy. Some of you make comments which defame the good character of others, namely, the Police. If you were present and witnessed what occurred I would agree with you but you were not present. Therefore, keep such views to yourself and not post it on this Website for you do not know what really occurred and cannot truthfully state what occurred. Be fair and just and also stick to the issue.
BYPASSING GRAND BAY MAY HAVE BEEN GOOD SINCE HIS AUNT IS A DOCTOR OR A TOP NURSE AT THAT HEALTH CENTER, IMAGINE YOUR NEPHEW BEING BROUGHT IN ALL MANGLED AND YOU GOT TO PRONOUNCE HIM DEAD AT 3AM , THAT AINT EASY SOMEONE COULD GET A NERVOUS BREAK DOWN
That is a good reason but not the real reason. TOO MANY TRUTHS WOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED HAD THE BODY BEEN TAKEN TO THE GRAND BAY HEALTH CENTER.
well if this FAT boy could run away from the police all these police needs to go back to basic training I JUST DONT BUY THAT STORY…..
The man could hardly walk much less run from the police. Something is not right.
@ Old Voice
If he could hardly walk why was he growing and involved in illegal drugs?
doe try tht allu kill the man. there was maybe nobody there so allu cover it up
@ Trouble
You too; always so negative. I wonder what your life and that of others who are so negative and judgmental are like? You are a bunch of trouble. It is a sin to judge others.
Deep down ina de earth de man put his ganga, babylon come and light it off a fire.
Condolences to your family mate. R.I.P.
if that man hadn’t died immediately… could u imargin wat suffering that man had to go throught over all these hours?
come on ppl u give them right way to many times.. we have to hold the police accountable one way or another. if they couldn’t go down a 200 ft cliff in less than 10 hours then they should all be fired without any gratuity or settlement…. i thing that is i apply to be a doctor and i cannot perform the tasks set for me then i will be relieved of duty…
get better police dont let the get away all the time with their lazyness inadequacy and inefficency get the better of us, cuz one day in might just land on your door step.and u wont need to be a criminal to be ignored and left to suffer.. open your eyes.
ontop of it is your taxes that paying for men who sit in a station and play dominos all day and then go and get drunk until morning an d then park on no parking signs in the market… then they tell you to f**@ @ff….
My condolences to the family and friends of Mr Liverpool.
I had to think hard when I read your comment about the police not going down this 200ft cliff. I automatically though ‘if I was one of the police officers, would I go down a 200ft precipice, and my honest answer is NO’
The everyday police person is not trained in ‘search and rescue’. They do not carry with them special climbing gear. If they had attempted to rescue Mr Liverpool, we most likely be reading of more than one unfortunate death.
Lets await the post mortem and the police enquiry and dont point blame and speculate. This wont help the family and friends of Mr Liverpool.
what do you think nuisance?… was it a rescue team looking for someone or the police doing their work?
@ out of the box alright
…And into nothing; nothing concrete. Just other silly comments which make no sense.
Enjoy you cold weather in Canada you perfectionist
First of all why you chasing the man for the herb? You all should be patrolling the beaches for the ‘white stuff”!
That is the police account of the incident. I guess we will never know the full story!
mr listened to 2pac
“Theyll never take me alive”
Goodlookingbro – f the cops
@anonymous
i couldn’t help it – had to lol
A plant that God put there. Chase those people with the cocaine instead..dem big boys with SUV flashing around and they have no real jobs to speak off. ST Vincent legalize it. It doh kill nobody yet, except when the police chase and shoot dem. The same America dat giving allu money to kill your brothers de same America legalizing it. Cigarette and rum killing people faster and the weed. How come allu doh do away with the weed yet…allu priorities screwed up man. He didn’t deserve to die like that.
@ HM…
It is an illegal drug which was growing. Did you not read the article?
What do you know? America has not yet legalized marijuana in general.
Marijuana for medicinal purposes (so they say) is legalized. Yet, those who use them for this purpose are selling them and making a mint.
I read in a Toronto newspaper that those who purchase them on credit owe the government exorbitant sums of money that the government is considering eliminating this service.
This may be another reason why the government will not legalize marijuana and other such drugs.
I do think that our government is not intelligent in this respect so as to legalize them for medicinal purposes. This drug has never cured anyone or stabilized their pain and illness for long. They soon die of their illness.
d police that kill d man , dead man tell no tales eh , d man doe no kill himself ,think my people
@ Shatta
I do think that the Police should get your email address and other relevant information, if any from DNO because you are defaming the good character of the Police and stating that they killed the man. Are you aware that this is a serious matter which you could be sued and charged for? I do think that the Police should take steps accordingly so that those of you who make such a comment will learn a lesson from it.
My people its greed man, greed, some people prefer to involve them selves in illegal activities and get a big, fast, and dirty money. Always looking over their shoulders. Why couldnt he cultivate dasheen, tania, yam, vegetables etc. instead he prefered to go the fast way,and received fast death. However may his soul rest in peace.
when the farmer bring the provisions at the market allu still want if for free. looking down on us like you better than us. Man have to do what he must to subsidize his income. He didn’t kill anybody nor was he asking for favors. The Credit Unions and Banks expect you to have $5 to get five dollars. How else he going to get it. It’s just like going to buy cigarettes over the counter make that illegal too nah… Chah man
@ HM…
No matter what, the Law must be obeyed. This is also the Law of God, to obey authorities. God will not approve of what destroys the human body. You need to study Holy Scriptures about what God has taught and wants for us.
what about the “other” set of people and their greed????? we not seeing that????????
@ WIKILEAKS
Your comment is irrelevant for this topic.
why investigations, does anyone realize the time line… somthing seems fishy. ” u chasing the man he jump 200ft … i take it that u would be able to see the body at the bottom and just get the body right then and there” what do u all think?
i am curious if dno could get cause of death info… and weither the brusies etc… were caused after death…. the thing is that they doe never see the other man in the zion…. lets wait to hear his fate in this our dear police state…
all major crimes are coming from the top why only the poor brothers are being harrassed.
GAG ORDER on Journalists, what you expect
THat you Yer we!!!
something is very fishy re this incident, for sure there’s more to it for which no
one will ever know, them fellers will not reveal the truth, God sees and knows, the guy being familiar with the location knowing that there is a precipice that high below him would avoid heading to the precipice, man this smell like a rat attack and fishy, there is more to it, them police is not revealing the truth
@ 3am in the morning, you have no idea where you jumping. You don’t know what waiting for you at the bottom of a 150-200 feet precipice. He should have used a different escape route but I see nothing fishy here. it’s unfortunate that he had to go that way. RIP Bro!!!
According to reggae artist Nasio Fontaine, “The truth will reveal things that are hidden.”
Am not saying whether there is anything fishy or not but the news did not say he was brought in at 3am. It clearly says that he was pronounced dead at 3am. That means that he could have been brought into the hospital for hours before that
There were onlookers who saw the body being carried and brought onto the police van about 2 am so there is no way it could have been brought in 4 hours before. I am from the village and this is my relation we are talking about. There are persons with information. If you don’t have information don’t make such assumptions.
why investigations, does anyone realize the time line… somthing seems fishy. ” u chasing the man he jump 200ft … i take it that u would be able to see the body at the bottom and just get the body right then and there” what do u all think?

you know what is frightening inside that force lies some of the most crooked elements of our society. SATAN CANNOT CORRECT SIN THE PARLREP FOR GRAND BAY MUST START TO REPRESENT GRAND BAY IN A MORE MEANINGFULL WAY QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED ABOUT THIS DEATH. WHY WAS THE MEDICAL TEAM IN GRAND BAY PUT ON ALERT AND THE BODY DROVE PAST THE GRAND BAY HOSPITAL WHY WAS THE FIRE AND AMBULANCE SERVICES IN ROSEAU WAS CALLED AND NOT GRAND BAY. AT WHAT TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURED. WHY THIS INCIDENT HAS NOT MADE NEWS MADAMME MINISTER /PARLREP PLEASE CONDUCT YOUR OWN INQUIRY IF SOME ONE FROM GRAND BAY HAD SHOT OR KILLED IT WOULD MAKE HEADLINE.WE DEMAND AN INQUIRY INTO THE DEATH OF THIS YOUNG MAN
You all too sort! All you want too much information! It actually don’t really concern anyone because it was the job of the police! I am not a police but I know how it operates. When special tasks are to be performed, why would other people be contacted? The man jumped and he died! And how the a** you looking down a precipice and seeing a dead body? Huh? Watch the time line!!! They did their operations from a time to another time. Ugh! It’s like the CIA! Stupes! I don’t agree with everything the police does but when it comes to marijuana, and Grandbay, etc is land of marijuana, I go ahead and do what you have to do! S*** man!
and we wonder why police do so many things and get away with it. If it does not concern us then who should it concern…………..this happened since wednesday and its only now on the news……seems like a cover up people getting statements in order
grandbay all u have all d strength on, time will tell is all i have to say and my GOD is not a police he knows ands sees evberything. all the police men that were involved in the death ofd that man has to pay for it. it won’t take much tim e. this country is toooooooo corrupt startingf from those in authority. when we will realise our mistake in Dominica it will be tooooooooo late and Peter will pay for Paul. All of us will pass in it sooner than later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you are having difficulty reading the last sentence in the news item so I have cut it and pasted it into this document hoping that you will be able to read it in this one: “Matthew also reported that investigations into the circumstances surrounding Liverpool’s death have begun”.
and that satisfies you so EASILY!!!! would it still suffice if it was your brother???
This comment is for EXECUTIVE COMMAND: Ain’t my brother, don’t have any! And weed is illegal so I really can’t give a rats a**! It’s people like you all who have children and when they die by the gun or by the police or crap like that, you all say, “But he was a good boy!” Good boy my A**! If he was so good, he’s not be planting “MARIJUANA”!!! He’d go get a good job and do like normal people! That’s nonsense! It’s sad that he died but he should have jumped!!! No one asked him to jump! Should have just gotten arrested and gone to jail; maybe he’d have been bailed out ANYWAY!
you sound like you come from well to do parents……all u missing is a tall cone shaped hat with two holes for your eyes, I don’t have any time to spare you buddy, go have a good one!!!
I back that too
Executive Command, when is their family they paying off whoever they need to, so that it remains under the rug, and they will come on here talking about not giving a rats ass because they planting ganja, what a fool.
@ cod capi
You are out of tune. Why can some of you not stick to the issue without bringing other issues into it which is irrelevant?
If you demand an inquiry be the first to do so.
You started it all involving God, your church etc in your comment and attacking everyone comments so
isn’t it funny in the above pic… the man running has the features of a black man and the cop chasing has the features of a white man??? hhhmmmmpphhh
that’s sad… i’m against the use of drugs.. i think if u do it then be prepared for the consequences… if u are a drug dealer and profitable at it.. have at least 1/2 a million dollars on the side specifically for bail and lawyer charges… then u won’t have to take such drastic measures like this man did… not that i’m trying to influence drug distribution but it’s better to have one change his path than ending up dying on the wrong path
And the girl from the North says yeah,Ihear ya
U see, black men chasing after their own kind to uphold the legislature and laws of their oppressors? This man took his life rather than be caught…Can’t you see the only ones hurt and killed are us the descendants of the slaves and colonial system? For a plant? A plant? A plant? Human life is worthless, dogs and plants are treated with more respect. Usher in the war on drugs then, the bounty shall be fruitful….. Death and destruction….
that plant, that plant,that plant is illegal what the fu** is the police that tell him to run and jump
HOLD UP CARYL…..YOU WERE NOT THERE, DO U ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE POPO SAY!!!
@ No reparations
Senseless comment. Do not make me laugh. Oh please, no more of this slave reparations. We have come a long way and far away from that. Let us not revert to those days of our ancestors who were not even our grandparents of all. Those of you who are younger, much less.
While history will remain, nevertheless let us advance.
The Law is the Law. It has nothing to do with oppression.
Keep taking your illegal drugs and see how far you will get in life and how you will end up. I urge you not to encourage it.
why am not suprised by that story a man”s body found in grand bay and was pronounced dead at pmh well done dominica police force. man dead since wednesday and no radio station no news paper no tv station no dno can brodcast that go police go time will tell
thats why we need to free the tounges of our journalists to seek answers for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good comment. Man dead since Wednesday and family not informed even after informing of missing brother. No mention was made of body found until days after. We only pay for what we do while we are alive. Time will indeed tell. The officers involved maybe do not have families. Better yet maybe they do not have a heart. While I do agree that the police must do their duty, according to a renowned calypsonian, “use force only when necessary.” Were the gunshots necessary? Time will tell. Time will tell. If they don’t carry their duties in the right/legal way, trust me it will affect them or their families sooner or later.
please it is not worth it killing and jailing dominican for a plant,the united states is the first country that put the plant illigal we don’t have to do every thing the u.s.a did this plant do not hurt no body it is time we think like an independent country and decrimelize this plant
i hope when that plant start coming in our home u would have a different voice
HUSH UP CARYL
well is not the police that make it illegal . is the politicans that making and changing laws in house of assemble. now if they legalize ganja just like all other plants and crops you realise that there will be another challenge? man will steal more because it is now illegal and they stealing so just like man stealing coconuts and other crops just so man will steal mna ganja and no man will agree to that. hmmmmm you see where am coming from and where am heading to now?
Dominicans not easy nuh, they saying the police shoot the man in his back…SMH, weh weh weh…. the country hard, agriculture dying…..I hope he didn’t leave any children behind ALAS!!!!!!!!! My brothers my prayers are with allu!!!
but that not the second man to “jump” in a precipice nuh????? as if I hear something like that some time aback……well “dead men tell no tales”…..I wonder if Mwanga had jump in a precipice too….
Is it coincidence that whenever people are claimed to have committed “so-called suicide” or running away from the police the same police office is involved? Think about this.
1979 worry about PW and when they paying you dam a***
is a good thing they pay, or maybe is he that would be jumping in precipice or shot in the back, or taking your woman purse. or jus taking your woman……
con di buwo
hahahahahahahahahahaha
what u worried about, that somebody ask the right question and find out you was in the bush too??????????? They doe must pay??? they doe must fULL EMPTY BARRELS like you, because they NEED to patch all the holes in roseau streets??? you are blind by CHOICE
lol..
the autopsy will prove it then
Oh how Sad!what a way to go eh?yes i! survival is curcial in D A.a man have to do what a man have to do, befor you blast him ,think about you too.
that’s the most sensible comment made here so far.Dominican just love sceen so they can run their mouths.OH Lord we need employment in this country befor alot more of such sceens grace our land.The irony of this is,his infront ours behind, and some of ours will be much worst.man your soul is now at rest,R I P amen.
@ blast me
Sensible comment, eh? Who are you referring to about employment and unemployment? In bygone years there was unemployment. I never heard of drug growing and trafficking then. In those days Dominica had petty criminals. Murders and the types of thefts which are committed were hardly ever heard of, once in 10 years or more. Ask yourself what has happened to some people of this era.
Those who want a stable job and adequate salary must educate themselves. This means to complete at least high school.
God help those who help themselves for the better.
