The Barbados Police service, says it has launched an investigation, into a viral video, which shows a man, being verbally abused, while in police custody.
In a statement, the police said over the last twenty- four hours, the service was made aware of a posting on social media, which appears to portray one of their members behaving in an unprofessional manner.
It said the police service, as a professional organization, frowns upon such behavior, and as a consequence, a senior officer has been appointed to investigate the matter.
Meantime King’s Counsel Michael Lashley, tells Starcom Network News, the conduct of the police officer, is in breach of the suspect’s constitutional rights.
