Antigua St. John's - Thirty eight year old Miguel Brito is in serious but stable condition at the Mount St. John’s Medical Center (MSJMC) with bullet wounds in the hand and throat.
Brito is the victim of a car-jacking that took place outside the Media Luna (Half Moon) Night Club in Perry Bay.
Reports are that the victim went to the establishment around midnight.
Police spokesman William Holder said that based on reports so far, Brito parked his vehicle just outside Bargain Center and left the keys in the ignition with the windows partially opened.
Upon his return to the vehicle, it is reported that he saw someone sitting in the driver seat attempting to start the engine.
Brito reportedly ran to the car and wrestled with the intruder for a brief moment before being faced with a gun.

In an unrelated matter another member of the police force appeared to have run a foul of the law.
The officer was accused of sexually molesting a 19 old female, he allegedly paid her $US100 to keep quiet and it apparently was counterfeit currency.
He has been charged with an attempted rape and he's expected to appear before the magistrate court in St. John's today.
He was been held in the police cell in St John's.

I think those in control of the Force now are now cognizant of these and is slowly killing the 'old boys' way of doing business. This MUST happen otherwise, the blood in the streets have not began to flow as yet. We are only witnessing scrtaches and bruises, the hemorrhaging has not yet begun.

We have been putting stop gap measures in place and they are having minimum effect in correcting the problems. Either the problems are too entrenched or they are of a nature that are too complicated to handle. Personally, I think, that it's both. The Force, being a brotherhood/sis terhood/lodge/c lub/gang has the same sense of loyalty as a family unit. In a family there are always fights and disagreements as seen from the outside, however, when anyone from the outside intervenes, all of the family will band together and fight the outsider(s), the force is no different; in contrast a family only answers to itself since it's only protecting personal interest, the Police Force(family) has the obligation to protect all other families around it and does not answer to itself....
