For­mer at­tor­ney gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan, SC, is urg­ing Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro to en­sure of­fi­cers re­ceive prop­er train­ing in vic­tim sup­port. He is al­so call­ing for the cre­ation of a civil­ian com­mit­tee to over­see Firearm Users Li­cence (FUL) ap­pli­ca­tions.

Ram­lo­gan’s ap­peal to the top cop—who did not re­spond to Guardian Me­dia’s at­tempts to reach him—came af­ter an emo­tion­al tes­ti­mo­ny from kid­nap­ping sur­vivor Clint Ar­joon, who shared his ex­pe­ri­ence dur­ing a con­sul­ta­tion on the pro­posed stand-your-ground law, host­ed by MP Dave Tan­coo at his Fyz­abad con­stituen­cy of­fice on Fri­day night. Ram­lo­gan al­so re­spond­ed to con­cerns about po­ten­tial racial bias in the pro­posed stand-your-ground leg­is­la­tion.

Still vis­i­bly trau­ma­tised, Ar­joon re­mem­bered the ex­act minute of his ab­duc­tion: “At 6:45 pm on No­vem­ber 2, 2002. I was kid­napped just down the hill there.”
