Dear Editor,

With reference to the letter written by Mr  Laurie Greenidge and published in the February 11 edition of Stabroek News (‘Threatened by neighbours who are causing noise nuisance’), Mr Greenidge informed me that both he and his female companion were charged by the police for disorderly behaviour.

I have known Greenidge for over a quarter of a century. He walks with a white cane and his female companion walks with the assistance of a metal walker, so you will understand that Greenidge is visually impaired and his companion Ruth without the walker will have to use a wheelchair. Yet in spite of their disabilities both of them contribute positively to making life a little better for people with disabilities. How on earth can the police prosecute these two people without investigating their complaint. I am not telling the police how to do their work but I am of the opinion that in this case they fell down on the job.

Yours faithfully,
W P George
