do when
the crime rate is rising and the administration is accused of
creating a police state?
Terror
drill inCasco Viejo photos by José F. Ponce It's a no-brainer for people whose brains work that way. When, despite decrees that created a controversial secret police force, hundreds more cops on the beat, and hundreds of law enforcement video cameras deployed all over the capital, your garden variety crime keeps going up and the rival international drug gangs are fighting a war for control on Panamanian soil, what does one do? When the minister of governnment
and justice is under investigation for murder, the poisoning death of
the nation's top detective remains an unsolved case and the former head
of the coast guard can't account for a huge increase in wealth
accumulated when he held that post, what does one do?
Why, hold an emergency exercise based on the premise of animalistic international terrorists attacking an elementary school in the Casco Viejo, of course. Gotta keep up with the neighbors to the north in waging "preventive war" in inappropriate places. Some of the kids were annoyed with the disruption, but there were no fatalities this time.
