rest easy fam sh** could have really been avoided nobody goin sleep well on both ends..#before I go
we speak about black lives matter but we continue killing one another
when last you logon to the news site and see other races killing each other in the territory
Look at how the police would raid Cappons bay with their machine guys out. Look how they walk through Christmas in the city with machine guns. Board tourist charters to check for papers with machine guns.
Where is all this protection when it’s really needed. Where are the armed units stationed. Cappons bay is a popular tourist attraction.
Raiding communities for a little weed and showing police force for 20 mins is obviously not the security solution we require. I think we need strategic positioning of permanent mobile units. There are limited routes to cover. We need deterrence to the point where you choose to play assassin you get locked up or taken out by the force.
When some one starts drowning on the beach the lifeguards are there. not a call away. They are there.
Showing off big police guns ain’t it either if they’re not there when they’re needed.
Honestly, you are a very disrespectful person. I’ve noticed that you use the term ‘liss out’ in a number of your posts. You need to stop. Just give your condolences (if you have a heart) and move on. You don’t even know the meaning of the term. So, just stop because your ignorance is glaring.
St#### name was the first one going around how come he aint get hold yet
