Following Leader of the Opposition Shyne Barrow's State of the Nation Response, the Commissioner of Police moved swiftly to fact check him. The Compol pulled up the figures with the quickness and today he spoke with us as to why he felt the need to do so.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I find it strange that my friend the leader of one of the opposition because I think there is two. Tends to speak of crime and equate the occurrences of crime to the ineffectiveness of the police or the government. As a person who had in the past committed a crime and convicted of a crime I am sure that he could attest that despite the US is a first world country they possess all the technology to be able to fight crime and prevent crime. He was still able to commit a crime for which he was convicted. And I am sure that he did not blame the police in the US for the crime he committed neither did he blame the government of the US for the crime he committed. He took responsibility for it so for him to now try to blame the police or government for a crime being committed is rather insane. Nonetheless I think it has become rather frustrating to see that whenever there is a family grieving from the loss of their loved one the leader of the opposition would use that opportunity the misfortune of people to his to try and achieve his end state I think we as a society need to condemn that because it certainly is pathetic."
