The Summary Execution will be reviewed: GOOD!

i told you from day one...Danilo wants to take us into the 21st century!!!!

Dominguez wants to cover all the bases, after the recent verbal incontinence by the chief of police.
One must never publicly voice, what could be interpreted as an illegal action such as the previous announcement by chief of police, that an assassin of an officer, shouldn't surrender to police.
Bet any even money that the human right groups will have their day in public opinion, regarding this, announced "extra judicial killing". Justice minister is acting by the book, and this "execution", although approved by the majority of inhabitants of DR, will be a cuestionable and debatable action, in the career of chief of police, General Polanco.

Professor what’s your guess on how long before Saint Danilo replaces him?

If Saint Danilo replaces him he will make a huge mistake , joean , this guy is good he just following the law after the fact . no problem there in my opinion no one should care how this criminal dies , Animals like him is what got Dr in state of panic and thats a shame , if i was chief or police i would shoot every criminal that comes acroos my gun , i hate crime in general all kinds and at all levels .

How do you determine who is a "criminal" and who is not before you become Judge, Jury and Executioner!

@ imartinez you are right in a sense but we dont want the cop to shoot @ ppl they might feel are criminals. but dr is gettingto dangerous, my friends are telling me not to go and they are dominican. but hell i love dr f***k ii iam going

brilliant analysis, General. one has to act like one has a brain between his ears. i am sure that the Chief was angered by this thug, and quite rightly so. however, some things are better left unsaid. he sure as heck has the support of a public that is weary of the actions of these rodents, but there is a time to speak, and there is a time to keep one's beak shut. apparently, the Chief has not figured that out yet. it gives the country a black eye in the court of public opinion, when the police Chief issues a thinly disguised threat, and the perpetrator is blown away in less than 24 hours. i bet Danilo is not amused.

the crimals always shoot at police first

i think that this is his last free pass. if he goofs one more time, he is gone. Danilo has momentum going. he is building up some serious political capital. he cannot afford to let someone ruin it for him with some macho buffoonery. if he makes another serious blunder, he is toast.

criminals are not bound to act within a legal framework. they do not, and that is why we call them criminals. government officials do not have the luxury of acting extra judicially.

how does one follow the law "after the fact"?

groan!

you know thats the truth , or police should to get killed first , like the criminals that kill their wifes and everyone sorry after they get killed

i believe that the criminals in generals make fun of the authorities in DR and should stop . One way to stop it is by shooting at them ask question later . otherwise thjey woould think that they could always get away with their crimes ....

shoot than ask questions , i am glad i am not jefe de la policia nacional , i would implement this order .

you do not get it, do you, Martinez? or are you just one more sabelotodo that has to have the last word? the point is that the Police Chief should have kept his mouth shut, done his job, and not act like some street thug, promising to blow the guy away. he did what he felt he had to do, but he should have had the good sense to do it without advertising his intentions to the entire world. that's right. the world. can you say INTERNET?

lmartinez,

I hope that you or any of the Neo-Fascist types like you are ever in Arizona or Texas and cross paths with a Shoot First ask Question later Joe Arpaio type!

I wonder if they got the right man

My guess is that the chief of police will be replaced, as a purely political move, that was long overdue,
and now it is the perfect time to do it. Danilo needs no better excuse, but still has to keep appearances and let some time pass, before the action is taken. I would guess within 60 days maximum, someone else will be appointed who will carry forward the necessary reengineering of the paramilitary police force, making it more user friendly, and less militarized. Another prediction is that some of the old Leonel appointees, will slowly begin to be replaced by Danilo advocates, in the near future. Now this could be just wishful thinking in my part. But hopefully you will see these changes appearing "as normal" around the 27 TH February, 2013.

General, if time proves you wrong, then we will both be wrong.

Dread
Wouldn't the DR be a much better place, with a dream team such as:
Dreadlocks- Tecnical secretary of the Presidency
Devin 11- Legal adviser to president
Lautaro- Political analyst
Josean- In charge of PR and press releases
Guillermone- Minister of tourism
Generoso- Chief of the armed forces
Now where should we put Atabey? lol.

asks Generoso

Now where should we put Atabey? lol.

La Victoria, for impersonating an academic?

Candelier was doing the same thing back then, but he never announced a marked man, he just did it.

Bueno I completely understand your concern about the one that innocent ' but they should be guilty instill proven otherwise . In my opinion that's the only way crime will stop in DR . Enough is enough come on guys are you for real . Dr is like the good old west in USA think about this . People get killed all the time. For no reason just because some asshole thinks his wife is cheating on him . I remember when Dominican used to go to DR all the time to cheat on their wife's , but now is quite the opposite and the difference is that the man always tries to kill his wife and than kill themselves how about that

i hope you still feel the same way when some cop mistakenly thinks you are a criminal, and decides that you are guilty until proven innocent.

The secret of good government is in an outstanding public service as the chances of having a well educated group of ministers drawn from politicians is next to zero .
I prefer to have a team that is young and enthousiastic and with a positive outlook

I don't go around stilling and killing people like those bastards do , i am telling is the only way cono

you win, Martinez. feel better now?

Being angered by a "thug" is one thing. Ordering his subordinates to find and kill the "thug" is something else. This is dominican "justice" at its best.
Only in this country would you see things like this happen.
And then Morales Troncoso and others would complain when international Human Rights organizations criticize our "justice" system.
We are back at the "Era de Trujillo". Que viva el jefe, Generalisimo Polanco!, Que Viva!
In any other civilized society a citizen would be allowed to have his day in court, guilty or not.
It would be better if we legalize the death penalty and, after trial and conviction, execute the "thugs".
Many people do things that, if tried and convicted, deserve the death penalty. However, the execution of a citizen with the approval and/or prior consent of the chief of police, regardless of the culpability of the accused, should not be looked upon by ANY society as the right course of action.
(Of course, I am in the minority on this. Fire away!

I support your position. As well I take issue with the hypocrisy of the Dominican state and the Catholic Church when it comes to the death penalty, which they only oppose in rhetoric!

I have seen some pathetic comments in the past, but some of you guys top it.
The chief of police is sending a message to those thugs in DR that believe to be above the law.

That they are not going to continue mocking the authorities.
The only way crime is going to slow down in DR is buy demonstrating, the consequences of defying the establishment.
Put an end to the useless, so that the rest can live in peace.

"CIEN MIL POSOS SE CONSIGUEN TRABAJANDO,

Y EL QUE LOS QUIERA ROBANDO,

QUE LE PARTAN EL PEZCUEZO'


!!! VIVA TRUJILLO MOLINA!!!!


"LOS AMIGOS DEL JEFE SON LOS HOMBRES DE TRABAJO"

A notorious thug that takes the life of another human being and later defies the authorities knows for a fact not to expect royal treatment. Yet he is receiving glory for his actions from human rights groups and comments like yours.

Go and ask the officer's family how they feel. The lost of an officer killed in the the line of duty, defending the rights of the rest of us from thugs that are freely roaming the streets of Santo Domingo and the rest of the country.

Where 90% of the country 's population lives in fear due to the reigning anarchy.

i see where nuance is lost on you. nobody is suggesting that he should not take a firm stand. we are saying that he should not get into a penis size contest with hoodlums, inviting them to a showdown. he is a government official. he has to act like one. do your job, and keep quiet.

rokete, does this ring a bell?

Proverb
speak softly and carry a big stick
Do not boast or utter verbal threats, but do make others aware that you are prepared to use physical force if necessary.

Team,

Let's give this guy(Dominguez) some credit; he is trying (at least in public).

Yes Rokete
It is easy for you to take that position, since you (surprisingly) are not aware of ANY human right abuses being committed in the past or present by any regime, in the Dominican Republic or any other country, in the name of "law and order". Perhaps it will enlighten you to observe what people in Syria, Iran, Gaza and, (just to bring it closer) totalitarian regimes in our own Latin America are suffering to awaken you. But perhaps what will do the "trick" is when your own civil rights are trampled upon right here for you to question executions carried out in the name of "preservation of law and order". Let's hope someone close to or known to you is not deprived of his/her civil rights and thus you learn a lesson. Or maybe someone with a badge and a gun runs all over you just because you are not part of the establishment. (I hope I did not use too many big words for your intelligence!)

P-Taino,

A+!!!....

proudTaino, a guy like this would be the first to cry foul if a member of his family got blown away by some overzealous police officer. it is always ok when it happens to other people. when it gets close to home, they suddenly begin to realize that it is not a perfectly good idea.

Proud Taino:
You are too smart for my Master's Degree and kindergarden education.

I am not approving the atrocities of the Trujillo Era, nor am I approving the violation of human rights and human dignities.

However, this thug served his own death sentence by killing a police officer in the line of duty, and if nothing was done about it, other thug would follow his foot steps.

The people in DR are living in fear because of people like that. Law abiding citizens are afraid of making a living, going to work, of starting a business and doing normal everyday things because of all the thugs on the loose.

If nothing is going to be done about it, then we might as well empty the jail cells.

Speaking from a far is not going to resolve the problems of DR, doing something about it will.

rokete, you are missing the point, perhaps on purpose. nobody disagrees that we are in a crisis of fear, what with the increasing boldness and savagery of the new breed of hoodlums we have to contend with. at no point did anyone suggest that actions should not be taken by the police force. the point is that the Chief of Police is a high ranking government official, and has to conduct himself accordingly. beating his chest, and daring a perpetrator to a showdown is not reflective of responsible adult behavior. do the job, and keep the histrionics and melodrama to a minimum. that's all.

According to some of you, the police officer had no human rights.
Only the thugs and the unruly have human rights.

When you violate other people's rights, you automatically lose yours.
You lose you rights when you cross the line.

I know of people close to me, that have died inside their retail stores at the hands o thugs, trying to make a living to support their families.

AT THE HANDS OF ARMED THUGS, NOT POLICE OFFICERS.

My friends cannot claim their human rights in the cemetery.

ok, rokete. you win. feel better now?

"We must await the outcome of it, before posting a conclusive position on the facts."

How un-Dominican is that? He even looks like a Gringo - sack him!

Dready states:

" he should not get into a penis size contest with hoodlums"

Absolutely. Maybe the guy they shot was not the cop-killer, but served the purpose of giving the false impression that the police chief is doing a good job.

I think the whole problem was caused by the Metro. It is the root of all evil in this country- isn't that right? That dreaded purple party program. lmfao

Sweatyballs you're not as dumb as you sound, stupid yes but not dumb!

Oh Josean you simple minded dolt, I see that your ignorance has once again been advertised for all the world to see from the inane dictum which spews forth from your hand. As is always the case, it is obvious that what little grey matter you may have was never consulted to act as an interlocutor prior to your pressing of the "enter" key. Thank you for not disappointing.

My previous posting confirmed!

What a joke.He killed a policeman and they said they would kill him and did. Facts are out.
