This evening, a representative of the gang alliance of Ghost Town, George Street, Supal Street, and Gill Street came to Amandala to tell the public, and especially the police, that no one has to be afraid of attending the carnival or any of the September celebrations.
The member wanted to make it known that contrary to what the Ministry of Police and Public Safety said, they have no intention of retaliating against the Gang Suppression Unit (GSU) for their unprofessional behavior against them last Friday.
Their press release appears below:
“We want to let the public know that we – George Street, Supal Street, Ghost Town, and Gill Street – do not have any intention of retaliating against the GSU or harming ANYONE!
We plan on taking up our issues with the treatment we received from the GSU last week Friday, through the courts, and only through the courts.
We also want the public to understand that we will not be causing any trouble during our September celebrations, and have no knowledge of, or possess any grenades, as was alleged by this week’s police press release.
Lastly, we would like for the GSU to try and come up with a way to help resolve the issues between the various areas, rather than fueling the problem.”
