VENDORS BEATEN, ROBBED, VEHICLES DESTROYED DURING PROTEST OVER KILLING OF QUINDON BACCHUS

What started off as a peaceful protest at Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara turned into a fiery and violent one on Tuesday morning as hundreds of residents blocked the roadway, lit debris on fire and prevented the free flow of traffic on the East Coast Corridor. Residents were protesting the killing of 23-year-old Quindon Bacchus who was shot by a plainclothes policeman on June 10 at Haslington, during an alleged undercover police operation. The protest by the residents erupted after a facetious online outlet inaccurately reported that the cop, identified as Kristoff Denobrega, was released from police custody. The cop, in fact, remains in custody and in confinement at Police Headquarters. The protest Tuesday morning expanded to several East Coast Demerara villages, including Enmore, Strathspey, Buxton, Lusignan, Good Hope and Mon Repos. It was at the Mon Repos market that the protest turned violent where several stalls and a minibus were set on fire, vendors were also robbed. Isanella Patoir joins us…

This is no protest. This is violence against Indians.

Get overseas police to train the Guyana police force and also provide adequate weapons and firearms for the police.
