Sat "Single Blow" Sharma

Acting on a tip-off from a source deep inside the Trinidadian underworld, Police Commissioner Trevor Paul rallied scores of brave policemen to the Maraval home of wanted embattled Chief Justice Sat Sharma. The fearless policemen armed with assault rifles and shaking in their police-issue boots descended on the abode aware that a single mistake could spell death for their comrades. The underworld informants revealed that Sharma was at the time situated on his couch in his living room dressed in boxer shorts eating a bowl of strawberry ice cream (sans sprinkles). The tension was high. Although most of the officers had been in the service for years, this was the first time they had been on an actual raid.
“Dread, this feeling jus like in dem movie and dem,” one officer remarked to another. “I hope I get shot in the vest,” he added while pulling the vest’s velcro straps tighter.

Sadly it was not to be. Entry to the house revealed that the CJ was wearing his lucky T-Shirt. Sat “Single Blow” Sharma had tricked them yet again. It was all lost. The policemen wept bitterly in the hands and with their tails between their legs, went back to the station to resume lives of inaction.
Is it just me or is it a little suspicious when you bring down half the police service to arrest the Chief Justice at home? Considering the guy doesn’t have a criminal record, is not considered a dangerous man and has an injunction granted to him by Justice Judith Jones restraining all police officers from taking steps to institute criminal proceedings against him.
Yet when Sean Luke’s mother requested the officers at the Couva Police station to help her locate her missing son, they sat on their hands. When you call a policeman because someone is in mortal danger, the police say they have no vehicles. Instead the saunter over hours later while tent pitching on your front yard.
But for Sharma they bring the cavalry equipped with assault rifles and bullet proof vests, mind you. Former Energy Minister Eric Williams, I figure, must be a little jealous since he was allowed to arrange the time of his surrender and waltzed into the police station on his own accord. His poor ego must be shot to see Sharma given the outlaw treatment.
Is something wrong with this picture?

Most definately. More than that, it is against the procedures for investigation of the Chief Justice outlined in our constitution. Interference with the separation of powers. Very worrisome.

Truth be told, I am not that sure if what is being done is right or wrong. I’m not an expert on the constitution, and although I’ve heard quite a few opinions, usually they are all conflicting.
That being said, I am more concerned with the gusto with which the Government is pursuing the Chief Justice. Let meh tell allyuh something. If they approached crime with the same fervour, we’d be in a much better position today.
