Crime going up under CoP Collins?
Under the UK Commissioner of Police Mark Collins, crimes in all categories have skyrocketed despite local taxpayers being burdened with paying some close to 30 UK Police Officers, stationed in the Virgin Islands.
The UK police officers were brought into the Territory because Commissioner Collins claimed the local police officers do not have the skills to fight crime.
However, rather than solving the skyrocketing crime rate, the UK officers are allegedly being used as part of a plot and target list to go after locals with bogus arrests and charges.
Many of those targeted include residents who speak out against injustices in the police force, the legal system and the right of Virgin Islanders to be free from colonialism.

Research for your self and see that uk crime rate thru the roof..any other country they take over crime went up ..so what you think if they really lock in what’s going to happen? You going bawl for them to go
The UK and USA makes it relatively cumbersome and difficult for them to enter and deports them by the thousands .
Not a month goes by that they are not kicked out and sent like cargo back to their countries.
You gave condolences to the family, except he didn’t die (this time again). I don’t know what the reason is that this young man keep getting caught up! I pray he gets himself together. Maybe he won’t be so lucky next time.
For starters, they chose the no good man to be the father of their child(ren),assuming their knowledge includes the identity of the father.
Fathers need to be responsible, but so do mothers. Girls need to finish their education and get married before they have children. Single mothers are a financial burden and the source of many of these unruly kids.

Hiding our heads in the sand and shifting blame will not solve our problems.
While a storm approaching us well. And these events always attract a certain crowd of people not really of good morals too. But hey
Party
Party
Party
Hold my beer
2) if you all invested in the youth sports and arts you would have way less getting tied up into drugs and ridiculousness.
Sorry we off island
Crime is out of control
For this some place
.
If porn was made illegal BET people will kill over it and sex trafficking will increase!
Guns, black markets, gangs and prohibition go together because when you can not sue or go to the police, the only way to settle the score is violence. Stop the knee jerk reactions and think about the consequences of our actions.
When alcohol was made illegal alcapone rose and violent crime spun out onto the streets. We repeat the same nonsense and call for more drug squads.
Now a days alcohol is legal and still very harmful but at least people don't kill over it, but they do kill while under it! They dont kill the bartender for a bad drink or a mixed up tab.
dude like he build tough
This is likely the last.

Iv yet to meet one in uniform who is down to earth and not above us on their high horse except when the UK police came after Irma admittedly. They regarded me as a human not less than.
I was caught in a stop n search but ofcourse I wasnt doing anything wrong. The black police.... they treat me like a criminal in my own neighborhood, for no reason.
When some are hired to oppress their own race and their own people, then yes two cultures including an underworld will form. Those the police dont oppress, and those they do.
The simple fact that canabis is made out to be the devil, that lie is the cause of much distrust and disunity between the afro-Caribbean public and those who are here to police us.
I blame police management for our distrust of police. They shut their ears and continue doing the same behaviors which have led to this moment, a moment where they really dont know what to do! They dont know what to do in order to get the public back on the police side.
We are the police. The public is the real police, always has been.
If you are upholding laws that hurt the people, realize its only a degree of difference between regulating slavery, & locking people in a cage for a plant which is factually proven to be healthy. Could you follow orders to drop presents on palestinians like a good soldier? Consider.
It will cause confusion when people especially the youth realize and think for themselves about the problem of why their own culture & friends does not want police around when they hang out.
Its because they are not our police. They are very very very close to hired mercenaries who oppress for cash and uphold biased unjust laws, we celebrate them or supposedly respect them because they 'solve crime' & regulate traffic.
When the young adults are forced to hide their recreation for fear of incarceration, we really dont have to ask why current generations are less united with the police who dress in all black and prey on them for 1 gram of vegetable matter.
We really dont have to ask why... but I would ask why this young man wont say who is after him. Are we that far gone. If he believed in the village or the society he would talk.
They do not know what to do to get police & public back, all the UK management & other elites do is hope is that crime spirals out of control!
They want the public to beg for UK officers and another couple million dollars thrown to the force, to do as they have done in a cycle for decades. That is their solution to our problem, more crime. Consider it.
