A decision by the Police Commissioner to put on desk duty, the officers whose guns were discharged in Morvant on June 27^th.

That incident led to the deaths of Israel Clinton, Joel Jacobs and Noel Diamond, and triggered mass demonstrations and clashes between police and protesters 1 week ago.

Hundreds of protesters demanded justice for the 3 men and their families.

They also insisted that the officers should be taken off active duty while the investigations proceed.

On the Take Two program on i95.5fm yesterday, Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith did not wish to say much on the situation in Morvant but he said most of the protesters who went up against the police last Tuesday are young boys.

Commissioner Griffith said these young boys must be saved from the influences of hardened gangsters and their leaders.

He also said the police service is at risk of being overwhelmed by the artillery of younger bandits and in 5 years, it may be too late to pull back.

He spoke of recreational activities, which will involve the police and young residents in some communities.

The move by the Commissioner followed a statement from The Law Association expressing concerns about the number of police killings in recent times.

The association also called for the suspension of the officers involved in the Morvant shootings.
