I have to say as being a tourest i have been to ambergis caye 10 times in the last four years. And in those travels I have be friended a local family whom takes care of my property. And two years ago I first hand witnessed the corruption of the police in San Pedro as I watched a local friend get arrested for something he did not do one night as I was with him. I'm sure if I an other expzats were not there he would have got a beating.Instead they charged him and took him to jail no matter what all the witnesses said. At 3.00 Am He called me at motel to tell me is was out and walking home. And I said to him how? And he said to me he had to pay off the officer so he cold be let loose.Just another thought that maybe John Mcafee is not as all everyone think he is. Corruption in police and goverment in Belize I belive is alive and well but those who live there may want to turn a blind eye to it all. I think John has a lot to be listened to.Look deep into what he has to say.
You have VERY VALID POINTS and I am one that actually believes J McAfee although he has taken it to extreme levels but it is NO SECRET the Police are corrupt and prior to this terrible incident the locals and residents were working towards alternative methods of policing the island since the Police cannot be trusted and are corrupt through and through however the truth is nobody wants to play on this and wants to keep it under wraps because its an internal problem but I say this just might be the time to actually come out and address this issue because it might take this aweful incident to be able to do something about the islands security at the same time.
Every islander knows the island has a BIG PROBLEM with the Police as it currently stands, and its time to face it because until that can be cleaned up how can the island move forward.
A simple question should be asked about the Police today
WHERE IS THE VIDEO OF THE 2 OFFICERS THAT ROBBED THE DRUNK IN THE MORNING OF HIS EXPENSIVE TENNIS SHOES AND HIS WALLET AND WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AND THE 2 OFFICERS IDENTIFIED TO THE PUBLIC AND WHY DO WE NOT KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THAT CASE.
THERE WAS A VERY CREDIBLE EYE WITNESS TO THIS AND ALSO A CCTV CAMERA THAT CAUGHT THEM RED HANDED
I know people don't want this aired right now, but there is absolutely no point trying to say we don't have a problem WHEN WE CLEARLY HAVE A MASSIVE PROBLEM.
Maybe this is the time to demand action because right now you have the fox's guarding the chicken house.
