The fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Khaleel Simon in Bolans has ignited public outrage and raised serious questions about police conduct in Antigua and Barbuda. Residents are demanding answers as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
National Security Minister Steadroy Cutie Benjamin spoke with our newsroom on the matter.
Kahleel Simon
Did Cutie say the officers “act professionally in the conduct of their duties”?? Careless ministers there are. It’s not of their own so they don’t care
A thorough investigation with lies to protect the officers? I hope the family does take legal actions
Cutie Benjamin has some nerve. To come and say he has confidence in his officers. Man you directly wicked
This should have never happened in the first place
Acted properly with force? Wow. Head shot? Is acted professionally? This is crazy.
Whenever Cutie speaks, it’s all a pappyshow designed to hush up the dince and dem. He needs to go and siddung in a pasture somewhere.
I just returned to say how disappointed I am in the ministers statement. But politicians need the police to continue their duttywork
So, in other words, the police will be investigating itself. Now even Stevie Wonder can see there’s something wrong with this.
I don’t why people stressing over some one who is a tyrant to the community of Jennings where they are from you all crying over a child who is make it bad for everyone he is around
I guess it is because he didnt come out from you womb. Nonesence
When i watched that Video i was wondering whether i was watching a movie with stupid characters. Cutie need to watch this and listen to himself. Man what did you just tell people. THat you support this band of uncivilized people you call police.
Leaders need to listen, people are tired of waiting for real change.
Dirty Hands in Suits
They smile with polished teeth,
shaking hands they’ll never keep,
promises fall like coins in the gutter,
while silence buys their sleep.
Behind the velvet curtains,
they count what is not theirs,
trading hope for power,
and justice for empty stares.
Their words are gilded poison,
their laws a crooked game,
they rise on broken backs
yet feel no ounce of shame.
But dirt, no matter hidden,
will cling beneath the skin;
and truth, though buried deeply,
will rise and speak again.
For every lie they whisper,
a reckoning will start—
you can polish all the silver,
but you cannot cleanse the heart.
The real issue is not even who it was. It is about what the police did and how they handled the situation. You are saying the others killed in similar ways was a Tyrant too. Biased people will always be messy.
Cutie Cutie…You are amazing and needs amazing grace
