Christopher Samaroo said any attempt to restrict such footage would only deepen public mistrust and shield wrongdoing. In an exclusive interview with Guardian Media yesterday, Samaroo said such reasoning ignores a deeper problem. This incident has brought light to the public, and to the world at large.”Visibly emotional, Samaroo challenged the minister to release any footage he may have of the deadly encounter. “We need prevention and an open place where the public can see what the police are doing,” he said. “The commissioner and the minister have to put a stop to this, or we will put a stop to them,” he said.
