In the wake of the murder of prisoner Peter Garcia outside the Rio Claro Magistrates’ court yesterday, acting Police Commissioner James Philbert said criminals have displayed a new level of callousness, blatantly displaying no concern for law and order. In the same breath, however, a tough-talking Philbert vowed that Garcia’s murder would not prevent law enforcement officers from acting with full force in conducting their duties.
Philbert was speaking yesterday during a promotion ceremony of 14 police officers to the First Division at Police Administration Building. He said: “Garcia’s murder is callous. It is beyond what we would call bold-faced. It is very heart-rendering. We have had this situation where a man was killed while in police custody. “There are no words to describe how criminals behave. These are things we normally see in movies.â€ÂÂÂÂÂÂ
Its seems like the acting Police Commissioner James Philbert is till in another world for he to make such a statement
