Philipsburg:--- The Police Internal Affairs are busy conducting an investigation into the fracas that took place Friday night involving Major Ashwin Martina confirmed Chief Commissioner of Police Peter De Witte. De Witte also confirmed that Major Ashwin Martina is currently on probation for attacking and beating a Checkmate Security Guard who was stationed at the Megaplex Cinema. It should also be noted that Martina was also involved in the UP Vote buying scandal as well in another incident in Simpson Bay.
On Friday night, Officer Martina was under the influence of alcohol when he fought with a worker from MNO Vervat who was directing traffic on Pondfill road in the vicinity of the entrance to Foreign Affairs and the home of former Police Inspector, the late Wilfred Marsdin. According to eye witnesses, the officer drove his car on the road where MNO Vervat workers were busy patching and refused to use the side entrance that was being used to divert traffic. The fight Friday night landed Officer Martina and an MNO Vervat supervisor in the hospital after the latter was hit by a rock in his face.

if this officer is under investigation for so many things, why is he not on leave till the outcome of these cases? are they waiting until he kills someone? stop this disgraceful officer now before he goes any further. sxm police force is better off without him.

The beauty of this situation is that the MNO worker slept in the police station the night and the drunken police officer that left the scene and come back slept at his house , because the officers on duty broke the law because they did not do or didn't want to do their job by arresting Mr Martina until he sobers up as would of being done to one of us SHAME again on the acting prosecutor for not teaching his students the law.

Do you all remember how long it took Carl John to arrest Ca**iana for shooting at his colleague and lover door in Betty's Estate. Ricky Henson and Carl John are bent on allowing these bad apples to hide their deeds. Can any of you remember how big John open his mouth when his officers cross the border illegally and got into an accident on the French side.... Get rid of Rickey and John they too are a disgrace to the police force.

...and they will be "busy" investigating untill we all forget or the investigation will soon stop because they are understaffed, underequipped and the matter currently has no priority. It is the same song for the last 20 years. What happened to the vote buying, Buncamper and Labega investigations?

If it was Kurt Ruan long time they would arrest him and put him in the station until he sobered. My question is what is the different between Martina and Kurt?
PLEASE THE LAW HAVE TO BE USED FOR EVERY BODY
A lot of time officers are wrong and because they are policies they hiding behind Mr. John back, just for he to defend them.
John you is a very good officer just stop waisting your time by defending these monkeys and throw them out of the station and bring new fresh officers these disgusting officers are like a cancer in the police station.
Once again Mr. John I respect your great job that you are doing.
As VKS I did experience officers acting very wrong and when they reach to the station they laying on innocent people.

What investigation? This is like asking the rat to investigate who stole the cheese..
We will never ever have a properly functional police force until we get well trained, disciplined and PHYSICALLY fit police officers.

What about the MNO. self that cuts up the road and leave it right there. I'm talking hear about the reality not about rumours. Those cavities in the road will damage all the cars. Nobody don't talk about that. Start with a job and finish it. In the afternoon. Big traffic Jam because of these cavities in the road. The officer and mno. Will have to sort out there business. But this is something that count for every driver.

To: Mr. Shut up.; If you had read the article about the incident on Saturday you not have made your comment. Just in case you didn't read the article on Saturday here is what was said:
Police arrested the MNO worker as they investigate the fracas. SMN News also learnt that MNO was forced to stop their work and they had to take material that was already prepared for the work back to their main office in Pointe Blanche. SMN News further learnt that MNO will be seeking damages for their lost material and the injuries caused to their workers.
So there you go. The MNO was forced to stop their work.

It makes me sick to hear some of the bullshit being mentioned. God has nothing to do with this world, more over with man and his bullshit. Mankind has to do for him / herself. Nice talking, but that alone can,t and will not solve the situation. As a people we have to act decisively if we are to get results. How many of you bloggers has a Defense Fund that will enable you to right a wrong done to you or your family ? This will serve as food for thought. Justice is never equaly or redily given. think about Just-me, or Just-us if you are financially sound. Justice, Equality and Democracy check the definition of the words, then question yourself as an individual.
