How can our citizens feel safe when the very people appointed to protect and serve the national community commit crime? Who can citizens turn to when they and their families become victims of crime? Our elderly are being disrespected and ill-treated. Women and children are no longer protected because we see abuse in one form or another. There is no respect for authority in schools where students are a law unto themselves.
I am overwhelmed with the daily reports of murders, kidnappings, robberies, and the list goes on. Can the army once again work alongside the police as an initiative to keep crime as low as possible? We feel safe when the army is out and about. Disperse them throughout the country and have all areas covered.
Our country is fighting an internal war and the resources available need to be utilised–our army is one of them.
