Why is he calling out Inspector Mark Clarke only? Christopher Famous only defames to keep his miscommunication and heightened contradictions going to feed the mindset of those who need to keep the agenda open of over throwing the Government.

People breaking the law were lawfully dispersed. The lawbreakers, did in fact get what they deserved, that’s not a racist comment.

Chris, have you made an assessment of any laws that were being broken? You seem fixated on the police response, but blind the factors surrounding Parliament that lead up to that. Police use of force matrix is pretty simple:
1. Inform someone they are in breach of the law – video of that from early morning when Bob Richards tried entering the grounds and couldn’t.
2. If they fail to adhere to police instructions, then issue order/warning that if they do not desist, they will be arrested – video of that when Insp Clarke is talking to the PLP leadership and Union Reps, on the front holding hands.
3. If this fails, then police are authorised to use force, as required, to acheive the objective, usually to effect an arrest. Unfortunatley they didn’t arrest the 100 people there, but based on the events of the day, it appears the purpose was to open Parliament, not make arrests.

I’m sure if it was OBA blocking the PLP you would be writing about why none of the protestors were arrested, and surely has to do with race… But I won’t judge based on your past columns.

I’m very grateful to Bernews for getting a response to this column and not running it alone.
Mr Famous has written other so called opinions which have been nothing more than propaganda.
It is good to have balance.
