While legal red tape is repeatedly pointed to as the reason why criminals are caught second and third times committing the same crimes yet are released in court, the Police continues to take matters into its own hands. El Caribe reports that in the first half of the year between 24-38 people have died in clashes with the Police. In 12 of these confrontations, there were two, three or four deaths. El Caribe reports that 13 police agents were killed in these clashes, out of a total of 25 soldiers and policemen who met their deaths while on duty. A further 217 police agents and military personnel were injured in violent incidents.
