    This is for the officer Karim who keeps getting his case pushed back. I hate officers so much, that I’m hoping he dies. And Antigua Surf you might as well shut up. Are the police protecting us? Cause I don’t see any protection

    Kiss my teeth. Anriguans are causing more trouble than Jamaicans. The Caribbean is a melting pot. We are one people. Yet we discriminate against the Jamaicans and Spanish people who are the ones nor lazy enough to clean antiguans homes and build their Barnes. Ungrateful people. Donr blame us. Blame the evil spirit that is hovering over this land because of the ills of the leaders.

    Ahhh so he was moonlighting at the time of the incident. I thought they had clamped down on that?
    Then again money don’t fight and like all of us even police officers need a side hustle too.
    Hope he pulls through

    The gun crime situation in Antigua needs to be placed under control. I see the police doing their best to try to curb it. The question is will residents help? Without the help of the people they police are fighting a losing battle. For every gun found in the hands of criminals someone’s child, father, aunty, husband ….is at risk. This is getting too serious. We need to do better

    Either someone was out to get this officer or it could be a case of just being in the wrong place. I saw the video and it looks like he was hit in the face. Guns are available like sand by the bayside. Pittyful.
