P.U.P. Expresses Outrage over Police Brutality in San Pedro

The beating of the two men by the police is facing outrage in various quarters. The People’s United Party is condemning what it calls the outrageous, criminal actions of two police officers in San Pedro. In a release, it states that it cannot be business as usual in the Belize Police Department. There are far too many instances where officers have walked outside the law with impunity, and far too many instances where officers, acting like criminals, have been protected by the department. The party also demands the police duo be removed from duty and criminal charges be levied on them. The P.U.P. went on to condemn the Barrow Administration for yet another year in which the general law-abiding citizenry were paralyzed by crime.
