That’s police officer did a great job, he should be promoted to a higher rank for his great and brave job… what human rights have to say about this now? Both of them should have been killed. There will go and spend 2 yrs in jail and return to the same shit… I hope they get long time… It is so scary to visit my home land of Guyana… president… you need to protect your citizens more from these heartless bandits.
