Police set guidelines for UWP public meeting

Carbon has given strict guidelines for the meeting

Police Chief Daniel Carbon has given a set of strict guidelines as the United Workers Party (UWP) hosts a public meeting in Roseau on Tuesday.

The meeting dubbed, “D-Day of the People” is set to take place from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at Upper Kennedy Avenue. According to party officials, the meeting will be demanding the resignation of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, and his cabinet as debate on the Citizenship by Investment Program and the alleged sale of diplomatic passport rage on.

Speaking at a press briefing on Monday afternoon, Carbon stated permission was granted to the UWP for the meeting but the party must adhere to a few important guidelines to ensure safety.

The organizers of the meeting were told the following:
1) The speakers at that meeting must refrain from making inflammatory statements to incite violence.
2) To ensure that the meeting is peaceful and adheres to the rule of the law and order.
3) That the leaders and organizers of the meeting be responsible to ensure that the meeting was peaceful.

According to Carbon, the UWP has made the assurance that the public meeting will indeed be peaceful.

“Although the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force does not want to be confrontational, the Police Force is mandated by law to uphold the rule of law and order,” Carbon made clear.

Members of the police will be deployed to facilitate traffic and maintain safety and security during the meeting to ensure that it is peaceful, he said.

Carbon affirmed that the Police Force will “take all necessary lawful actions to prevent lawlessness, to protect life and property, and to ensure that members of the public go about their lawful business.”

“The Police Force is mandated to prevent acts of violence and lawlessness and also to react to act of violence and lawlessness by investigating whenever these acts happen, and to bring perpetrators to justice. The police force will deal with anyone who incites or perpetrates acts of violence and lawlessness,” he stated.

All participators were advised to conduct themselves lawfully.

    You have no right to dictate to anybody in democracy, what the should say or not say; we anticipate the garbage you have spoken here to be rhetoric that is found only under a dictatorship, in a communist state. We anticipate that in China, Cuba, and places like Venezuela!

    No matter how incendiary peoples’ comments might be, there is something known as freedom of speech, and people have their constitutional right to speak in anyway they deem fit, and unless they act on what the say you have no right to suggest what they should talk about it!

    If I say I am going to kill someone, or burn something down, I have a right to that free speech, now if I act on what I proposed that’s another situation altogether! All you are doing as usual is trying to breath fear into the demonstrators!

    All the Police force can do is to encourage and enforce how it can “LAWFULLY”. not to Dictate and hold the UWP or anyone “individually” keep the peace that’s the police job to keep the Peace. UWP can only encourage a peaceful demonstration and can’t be responsible for lawless demonstrates actions. If the People Get out of hand its no fault of the UWP that’s on the People. This Day will be called T-DAY not D-DAY

    Commissioner Carbon have you ever given time to the Labour party when they hold their meetings?
    Commissioner Carbon have you ever cautioned Labour party and it’s leader to not make deflmmatory statements?
    Commissioner Carbon even when the Labour party opperatives make deflammatory statements did you do anything about it?
    Commissioner Carbon are you trying to hold on to the position that was handed to you by the politicial directorates instead of serving and protecting the people of Dominica as this is your responsibility?
    ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND EXAMINE YOUR CONSCIENCE. IF UPON EXAMINATION YOU HAVE NOT DONE WHAT IS RIGHT THEN YOU HAVE NO MORAL AUTHORITY TO GIVE THE SPEAK TO ANYONE IN THAT REGARD.

    Chief Carbon,you have taken an oath to protect and serve according to the Constitution of the land.You are not to overstep your authority and impede the right of the people to assemble peacefully.By your giving these directives to the opposition parties to Skerritt as to when they can begin and end their peaceful assembly you are showing that you are a puppet on a string of Skerritt and his gang.Carnival celebrations are allowed to run until 6pm so why do you want to limit the opposition.As long as the assembly does not go beyond an unreasonable late hour at night to disturb the sleep of others then you are clearly out of place.In the past political meetings went on until late hours into the night,I mean up to 9 and even 10 PM,so why do you see it fit to now violate the rights of the peaceful people of Dominica.The world is watching Carbon and you will have to give account for violating the rights of the people if you enforce this unlawful action using the power invested in you

    Dominicans you have to stop the talk and go down to the City and stand up for you legal rights, So stop calling Matt and this morning with the same old talks stop it , Matt don’t have to read the CONSTITUTION it is there for all to have and to study and Angelo read it this morning to you so make yourselves available to go to Roseau if you truly want to save DOMINICA. Remember it’s not a UWP or FREEDOM party or even the DLP thing it’s a unity mission for all .
    People the POLICE have their work to do and forget about the time if you want to go down regardless just go and stop this talk about time, just make sure it’s a peaceful demonstration .
    Another thing this demonstration today is not about colors either so don’t follow the DLP supporters and dress in your colors,
    EVERY ONE COME OUT DRESS IN WHITE TODAY BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL .. DOMINICA WILL RISE AGAIN !
    , dress in WEHITE, dress in WHITE

    This can only ever be police guide lines and not an order. Our constitution stands supreme and guarantees the citizens freedom of assembly. We are not a police state ….yet!!! Any attempt at curtailing, or restricting constitutional rights will be viewed with dismay and alarm by our international friends and partners. Dominica is a very small country with fewer inhabitants than new Rochelle N.Y. Roosevelt Skerrit has got far too big for his boots.

      Guide lines which they must follow, otherwise. In other words, it is an Order or else.

  17. February 7, 2017

    This is exactly why Citizens should not rely on Politicians to decide when and where there will be protest action. Politicians will ALWAYS make compromises for the sake of image and appearances. True protests should be spontaneous and initiated by Citizens united for a particular and MEANINGFUL cause! A Politician will speak and act tough yet yield to the very person or people they’re supposed to be protesting against in hopes of gaining a few extra votes, a few more seats in Parliament or simply to win the next election. A protest then turns into a “meeting” and more talk! With a Government like the one we have in Dominica now no amount of talking will change anything! The politicians are hoping that numbers will scare the Government into changing course or, better yet, resigning. We Dominicans all know that a meeting tomorrow will be no different than the meeting a few Thursdays ago. Just politicians and guest speakers making speeches. Same old story!

    Mr Carbon. Given your strict guidelines targeted at the UWP. Can you give us ONE example of an incident where violence was perpetrated by members or supporters of the UWP. We the Dominican tax payers pay your salary, and deliberately singling out members of a particular party, is blatantly bias in every regard.

      February 9, 2017

      Actually Skerrit pays his salary and collects the taxes and is in addition the chief financial officer, so it is all tied up in a neat bundle.

    Carbon you look so tired; you need a vacation from the stress of that job! Dominica is a democratic island; the speakers are not having a meeting to incite violence; they are there to inform people what’s going on in Dominica. Do not intimidate Dominicans.

    Guys, the terms of victory cannot be negotiated according to Jesus:
    And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force Matthew 11:12

    This meeting today with the police is no doubt in my view a wrong step because victory cannot be negotiated. I respect Mr. Linton and the other leaders but surely they failed us today.

    Victory is for those that are ready to stay in the hot sun, in the rain, snow or any condition and play hard until they win. It is alright to play in a peaceful spirit but play to win no matter what according to Dan 3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

    The race is not given to the swift nor the strong but he who endures until the end-Ecclesiastes 9:11. Surely today was not a good day for us but I hope come tomorrow we will find the inspiration to mobilize thousands of people to Roseau.

    Carbon said he has given the UWP permission to hold their meeting. The UWP has made it clear, their followers will be wearing white, therefore, when the laborites appear in their red, what is he doing to do about it. I hope he tells them they cannot go to the upper part of Kennedy Avenue so as to avoid any confrontation. Remember their leader, Skeritt once told them wherever they see supporters of the UWP, go in their faces and call them traitors.

    When I think of these nonsense I get so damn upset with the opposition. These guys are journalist and doctors, and no politicians. What damn meeting with police today for Carbon to even treat them like little boys. When Skerrit went to Marigot and one of the old towers was set on fire, Skerrit told the nation he knew who did it. Was he held responsible? He went to Wesley and in a public meeting he told the nation that if Linton becomes pm the blood of DA would be on the
    m. Was he held responsible for inviting violence? In St. Joe e just before carnival he asked his supporters to call uwp leaders traitors whether on plane, funeral, in supermarkets etc, was that not inviting violence? Did Carbo n say a thing? Y sit with him to force guidelines? U all not ready yet and we need true leadership. Last night before a protest what is on q95? Spotlight? Styles! When we get serious Skerrit will see we serious. But for now he sees us as joker’s and they treat us so.

    Why Carbon emphasizing violence? None of the organisers has spoken about violence. In fact, they have been talking about peaceful demonstration all the time. When he warns against inciting violence via speech, is he seeking to limit free speech, to dictate what the opposition will say? Mr. Carbon never called Skerrit and Lennox Lawrence to account when they incited violence against the leadership of UWP. Why be selective, Mr. Police Commissioner?

    • The Truth Be Told (Original)
      February 7, 2017

    Once again the opposition (UWP and Freedom) are allowing Skerrit and his dictators to dictate to them. I mean they made so many announcements about a protest from 12 noon, and somehow a day before the match they going to sit with the enemy to have them change time and have them to put them under laws? Man I call these WEAKNESS and defeating the purpose.

    Secondly with such a call for tomorrow, they could not change plans and be on Q95 tonight, spreading some fuel? Their should be a special call tonight on Q. from 5PM to 12 am, so people could get it

    Like Angelo I like to speak my mind and don’t care how others feel. The actions of the opposition TODAY have defeated the plan

Daniel it is a fact that in recent times Mr. asked the government to list our ambassadors and diplomatst.You heard the response Baron gave. It is a fact that in recent times Alison Madueke,Francesco Corallo, NG Lap Seng, and Alireza Monfared and others were all arrested and charged, and all had, also a Dominica passport.

First of all Carbon kept saying “uwp” just to give freedomites the impression that it is a uwp thing. It is a fact that Boston, Astaphan, and Dr. Christian all attended the meeting and they are all executive members of the DFP. So to say is a UWP meeting and uwp is responsible for protection, and uwp is responsible abiding by law is just pure nonsense and fake information. It’s a meeting organization by citizen’s of Dominica which includes uwpites, freedomites, and laborites who are seeking answers from Skerrit.

      Keep in mind that God is neither a loborite nor a worker. Both sides pray to him for protection and deliverance and pray that he punish the other.

    It was Bob Marley who said “we don’t need no more trouble,what we need is love” but the same Bob Marley later said “it seems like total destruction is the only solution”. Be reminded .

    This is exactly why Citizens should not rely on Politicians to decide when and where there will be protest action. Politicians will ALWAYS make compromises for the sake of image and appearances. True protests should be spontaneous and initiated by Citizens united for a particular and MEANINGFUL cause! A Politician will speak and act tough yet yield to the very person or people they’re supposed to be protesting against in hopes of gaining a few extra votes, a few more seats in Parliament or simply to win the next election. A protest then turns into a “meeting” and more talk! With a Government like the one we have in Dominica now no amount of talking will change anything! The politicians are hoping that numbers will scare the Government into changing course or, better yet, resigning. We Dominicans all know that a meeting tomorrow will be no different than the meeting a few Thursdays ago. Just politicians and guest speakers making speeches. Same old story!

    …”The police force will deal with anyone who incites or perpetrates acts of violence and lawlessness”

    So how did you “deal with” events of Saturday, September 24th, 2016 in La Plaine against Sylvanus “Sylo” Jno Baptiste and two others? …………………………………………….Don’t you think such bias by your force might lead people to chant “No justice, no peace!”?

    Everyone MUST be treated equally under the law.

    Remember Phillip Timothy. May his soul rest in peace.

      Dominicans are you going to incite violence or lawlessness for one man because he is the one who brought Dominica into this dispute , so dressing red to come down to do what don’t allow Skerrit and his men to use you because all of you regardless if you a red, blue and green you are all suffering equally. No one is asking you to give up or change your party but have an open mind is all you have to do, I ask someone today what he believe is causing all the problems we are going thru in Dominica, he said it’s all about the Passport selling then he said he’s a DLP supporter , good for you I said because you can tell right from wrong and that’s what it’s all about

    Carbon really loves his “master”, his Supreme Leader and Godfather. He speaks not for the Police Force but for his god Roosevelt Skerrit. Carbon remember your “deadly force” statement that was secretly recorded around two years ago? Anyway, the onus is really on the Police Force to not be aggressive or confrontational towards CITIZENS exercising their DEMOCRATIC AND CONSTITUTIONAL right to peacefully protest against what they see or perceive as wrongdoing by their Government. It is this Government that has chosen to discard the democratic processes of being accountable to the people, being honest and transparent in handling the Country’s affairs and abiding by the law. Instead, this ONE MAN Government has decided to rule over the people as if that is the mandate when it’s not. Governments are elected to adequately and effectively govern the affairs and resources of the COUNTRY while remaining answerable to the PEOPLE! Skerrit MUST go!

      Kermit, you are really a frog with no sense and frogs do not have any
      The Police Chief has to exercise his duty and inform everyone accordingly. What else do you expect of him? Have respect!
      You opponents have hearts of hatred. Why is it you have so much to state against the PM? I know people in D/ca and not one of them have anything to say against the PM. On the contrary they are pleased with what he is doing.
      I am a D/can. This country has never been so progressive as in former years. So many people, adults, seniors – the elderly, the sick are being helped as never before. There are programs for the youths, etc.
      The unemployed who wish to take advantage of the financial help which the PM offers, are free to do so. This never occurred when I resided there.
      As those I have spoken to both in D/ca and where I presently reside, we agree in D/ca then, those who sought employment were helped only by their parents/relatives.
      Your problem is envy.

    • The Truth Be Told (Original)
      February 6, 2017

      When people are doing good as the PM, there are always some who will be envious and do their utmost to try to downplay and undermine what they do. People as you lack appreciation and gratitude.
      Envy is a hell of a thing. Lennox, you and the other opponents/supporters make this quite clear by your bias and unfair comments.
      As our patient God takes note of your comments, as embedded in your heart/mind, He will punish you people. Your day is coming.
      Thank God all D/cans are not like you opponents. Could state more.

    “That the leaders and organizers of the meeting be responsible to ensure that the meeting was peaceful.”
    The leaders and organizers are not responsible of the people and what ever violence and damage they might do in the public. The police is responsible to take action when ever people violate the law…Why is it suddenly the police are interfering so deeply in a normal political meeting.It is not the police business either to prevent people from saying inflammatory statements ,it is against the law to do so ;so why remind people about what is right and what is not right….The ruling party is by all means trying to shut the mouths of the people who have decided to stand up against them ,hence the reason why they employ more police every year ,,the crime rate is higher every day ,there is no growth,the passports market sales is the only income the gov’t is deciding to fulfill without knowing the full back ground of the foreigners who purchase Dominica’s passports..united we…

      It is the Police business. Anything could occur at that meeting. Therefore, they are warned. Furthermore, it is serious enough that the US Embassy warned its citizens to be careful.
      Law-abiding people should steer clear of that area. The devil is in the offing. His presence will be there, right near Lennox Linton whose heart has much hatred for the PM. That man cannot get over that he lost the election and he would never have won in the first place. Which majority of D/cans want Lennox for D/ca’s PM? They would have courted trouble if they had voted for him. If he were PM I foresee D/ca would be in a chaotic state. The army would have to be called in.
      Do you not know the difference between a really nice person and one who is not? I suppose you lack godly enlightenment. You do not have that type of heart to see through Lennox and what he is up to. I do believe people as you are blind, deaf and still asleep. Wake up sleepy head! :twisted: :twisted:

And since when does the UWP meetings incite violence, Did the Commissioner speak to labor Party operatives who are planning to counter the march? SMH, he need to take his guideline and shub it up.

      Will speaking to them help? They cannot foresee those who will create trouble. If I were Labourites I would not attend that meeting/protest. They could view the proceedings on TV or listen to it on the radio if they so wish. UWP has supporters, some of whom, if given a chance will do exactly what the Police Chief is warning them about.
