It would be interested to know if the gun used is a service issued one or not. If not, did he have a licence to carry the gun.

In reply to WhoamI?. It was a false alarm, guys. Apparently the firearm is a vehicle issue and the drivers are not seconded police officers, but security personnel posted with the ministry. So it's up to us not tamper with the ego of armed, undercover demi-god drivers.

OK I think I’ve got it at last.

Under the present government having a criminal conviction is an asset. It opens doors to get jobs, meet famous people and see the world.

It all fits in nicely with the meritocracy thing.

What’s not to like?

The Police Commissioner together with Manuel Mallia should also resign.

Both are responsible for the control of police officers and security on the streets.

Manuel Mallia seems to shift responsibility on the Police Commissioner however he is the one who picks and chooses the police officials.

The Metropolitan Police Chief in London had resigned because one of his advisers was being investigated in the phone hacking scandal.

In Malta a man is made the police minister’s chief of staff while he is being investigated for conspiracy of murder, and the minister’s driver goes on a shooting rampage because the untouchable effect of his boss has rubbed onto him.

Thank God that the shots were not fired by an AK47; the Maltese Army has a lot of these and Manuel Mallia is also responsible for the army.

Do people go through a psychiatric evaluation before being allowed to use guns or weapons?

‘This was not a case which involved the ministry, he said. The ministry had nothing to hide and wanted the truth to come out.’

If the ministry is not involved why did the minister give out a press conference. The Acting Police Commissioner should have done it. Someone has to be responsible.

And did the Acting Police Commissioner participate only in the discussions? Where was he during the press conference?

The picture would have looked better with him in it, sitting next to Kurt or Ramona.
