As someone who has long commented about our social butterfly, commissioner of police, who always seemed overly defensive to our complaints at the rise in crime, it seems that it is now time for me to give Ceasar what’s due to Ceasar. The extensive arrests for the CNB robbery, along with the general mop up of some of the other outstanding cases, is giving me a new found confidence in the Commissioner. As I’ve said before David, we WANT you to succeed! So well done and hopefully legal dept can deliver some convictions. Now, about that long outstanding matter of the 3 investigations into the Premier, might they be getting closer to the top of the to-do list?! Just asking.
