This press conference confirms that either Mr Blackmore is not doing his job or he just flat out can’t do his job of keeping the country safe., In fact it seems as if Mr Blackmore’s job is to keep Mr Skerrit safe, and he is doing a very good job.
I mean when we have so much fire burning in Dominica , going back to GON Emmanuel’s fire bombing , going back to December of 2010, and everyone believes they are caused by arsonists, and so many murders and to date, we have yet to have a conviction , not even the case of the two Americans that allegedly were involved in the murder of the 2 Canadians, is proof that the national security minister is a big failure in keeping the country safe. My question is, why not seek help from international investigators with these crimes? Lets go back to the burning of Roseau during the 2017 protests, they were able to pay millions of dollars to get prosecutors from Trinidad to try to falsely jail opposition leaders, why not bringforeign invetigator
Everything them say is rooted and coated in lies. Them same dogs that barking and pretending to care are them same dogs that doing all the biting
I listen to Blackmoore speak off the cuff numerous times, his incoherence makes it circular for the listener to stay attentive for more than the first five minutes. One can easily draw the conclusion that he was not the valedictorian of his class.
The police force like every branch, department and ministry of government performs underwhelmingly. One cannot put a low IQ, inarticulate individual to lead an organization and expect excellence. We need to recruit the best and the brightest from the society into the police force to get positive results. On a cold, windy and rainy night can you cover with a wet blanket and expect to be warm?.Mr. Blackmoore is synonymous to a wet blanket as head of national security.
