    Well we have no shortage of uniformed police officers.Were do they all disappear to for the rest of the year?
    We should all be concerned at the Hardware they carry.Do we need this type of armoury on this small island?
    Trust we all enjoyed the display.

    Sad but true. This year’s independence parade of uniform groups especially the police officers is the worse i have ever seen. Sloppy and personal drills was a messs. Dressings were not mentained and it was just a mess. Thanks to carbon i guess for bullying the police officers year round, enslaving them with no vacation leave no rest days parade rehearsals 4 day a week and at the end of the day expecting them to perade with pride and put up a good show. Thats the begining of silent protest . Mich more to come.

      Well once CBN4 is doing anything don’t expect any good quality. When you like to pay for amateur work over quality thats exactly what you will get.
