Prison officer told to wear mask allegedly assaults bank security
Reports are that shortly after 8:30am, a uniformed prison officer was asked by a security guard stationed at Republic Bank BVI to put on a mask upon entering the establishment.
The officer; however, said he had difficulty breathing when wearing the mask.
The man was then advised by the security guard to remain outside but this did not go down well with the prison officer as he allegedly blurted out a flurry of expletives at the security guard.
A bank staff reportedly intervened; however, when the prison officer was being escorted out of the establishment he allegedly violently pushed the security guard.
Our newsroom was told that a police officer, who was at the bank at the time, was forced to caution the prison officer.
As part of COVID-19 control measures, all business establishments are required by law to enforce mask wearing, sanitising of hands and social distancing protocols or face fines and even closure.

The disrespect is to tell persons with pre-existing breathing conditions that you don't give a @#$% about their health and they should put on a mask which can kill them, to prevent a virus that has a 99% recovery rate.
that drop down mask idea is bulls***, if I'm asked to do that the biggest cough and sneeze would come out, you hear me. The whole idea of the mask is protection, why the hell would you ask me to "drop it down" arse!!!

Way to wear a mask. And to those of you who claim you can’t breath with the mask, learn how to deal with it because It is all in your mind or wear a face shield. Lots of you all is suffering from the placebo effect.
Let's see if the commissioner of police will action this, or ignore it.
