Assistant Commissioner of Police Antoine Daniels - "Currently there are a number of rumours circulating throughout the Bermuda community, electronic and social that suggest overseas military assistance has been summoned to assist the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) during this period of civil protest and demonstrations.
These rumours are not true as the BPS overarching principle of policing public protests is to facilitate free speech while protecting the rights of everyone.
Where the police are required to intervene during a public protest, they will do so using the least intrusive and coercive law enforcement measures possible to resolve issues that arise.” |
