Luke Donald was on top of the world in more ways than one on Sunday after becoming the first player to win the money-list crowns in Europe and the United States.
Rival Rory McIlroy needed to win the Dubai World Championship to deny Englishman Donald the chance of topping the order of merit in Europe but the young Northern Irishman ended up in joint 11th place on nine-under 279 after closing with a 71.
The 34-year-old Donald, who has been at the summit of the world rankings for 27 weeks, had already clinched the US Tour's money-list crown in October.
"I couldn't see Rory's name on the leaderboard but I kind of knew the double was mine by the 13th hole," Donald told reporters after shooting a 66 for 272 to take third place behind Dubai winner Alvaro Quiros of Spain (269).
"I knew I had made history and the last six holes were kind of surreal," added the winner of this year's WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona, PGA Championship at Wentworth, Scottish Open in Inverness and Disney Classic in Florida.
"The pressure went away and I was able to enjoy myself, have a few smiles and enjoy the walk. I guess that's what it is all about," added Donald.
McIlroy has been feeling tired and drained after suffering with a viral infection for a couple of weeks and he said this had simply been a tournament too far at the end of a hectic playing schedule.
"I couldn't get anything going when I needed to. I played a nine-hole stretch, the last two on Friday and the first seven on Saturday, in five over par. That's where the tournament got away from me," said McIlroy.
The world number two said he would skip next week's inaugural Thailand Golf Championship, the last event of the season on the Asian Tour.
"I can't wait to have a few weeks off," added McIlroy. "People telling you what to do and where to go, another flight, more sleeping patterns messed up. Next week would have been a big struggle too.
"The doctor told me last night that no matter how bad I'm feeling now I'd be even worse if I played next week."
McIlroy will next be in action at the Abu Dhabi Championship from Jan. 26-29.
As for Donald, he was basking in the glow of a campaign he did not even dare to dream of at the turn of the year.
"It's something you always hope for and believe is possible," he said. "But doing it and believing it is totally different.
"There were a lot of lean years there for a while when I wasn't winning. You've just got to keep believing that at some point it's going to be your time."
Donald still has next week's Australian Masters to play in before his competitive year is done.
Donald was asked how his father, who died a month ago, would have reacted to his success.
"He popped into my head a few times today especially after the 13th hole," the Englishman replied.
"I just remembered him and I think he would have been very proud of me. I'm sure he would have given me a big hug."
Factbox on world number one Luke Donald of Britain, who on Sunday became the first golfer to win the European Tour and US PGA Tour money-list titles:
* Born Dec. 7, 1977 in Hemel Hempstead, England.
* Turned professional in 2001. Won the Southern Farm Bureau Classic the following year, becoming the 11th US PGA Tour rookie to earn more than $1 million in his first season.
* Won the European Masters and Scandinavian Masters on the European Tour in 2004.
* Member of the victorious European Ryder Cup teams in 2004, 2006 and 2010.
* Won the World Cup for England in partnership with Paul Casey in 2004.
* Moved into the world top 20 in 2006 and later in the year made the top 10 after winning the Honda Classic.
* Won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February, beating Martin Kaymer 3&2 in the final. It was his third US PGA Tour victory but his first in an elite World Golf Championship event.
* Finished tied for fourth at the 2011 US Masters after winning the par-three tournament at Augusta.
* Beat Lee Westwood in a playoff at the PGA Championship at Wentworth in May, replacing his compatriot as world number one.
* Despite poor showings at the US Open and British Open, Donald won the Scottish Open in between the two majors in early July and recorded another top-10 finish at the year's final major, the US PGA Championship in August.
* Donald maintained his consistency until the US PGA Tour's season-ending Disney Classic where, having to win to pip American Webb Simpson for the money-list title, he fired a closing eight-under 64 to claim his fourth victory of the season.
* Came under pressure from world number two Rory McIlroy in the race to win the European Tour order of merit. When the Northern Irishman failed to win the Dubai World Championship, it was confirmed Donald would finish top.
* Donald is a keen amateur artist who earned a degree in art theory and practice at Northwestern University in the US.

WOW!!!! We loved this hotel. We purchased the Winter Escape package from the hotel website, which included overnight stay, parking, breakfast and liquor drink and chocs (night cap) well worth the money. Check in was fast and friendly. Had a king room, very spacious with gorgeous furnishings. My daughter loved the massive bath with TV overhead. My husband upon booking made mention that it was my birthday. In our room was a bottle of bubbly and chocs, lovely surprise. Thanks so much. We had a swim in the afternoon for a couple of hours which was perfect to work up an apatite for dinner. Beds comfy, pillows a little soft for us but no big deal. Breakfast in the morning was amazing, service fantastic. My only advise is we were in a room which faced out across the city to the mountains which was perfect but on the left hand side right in view was Peter Mac which holds some very sad memories for our family. We kept the curtains closed. If we had of realised this we would have asked for a different room. Let me say this was no fault of the hotel and I'm sure if we asked they would have organised another room as that seems to be the way of this hotel, nothing to much trouble. Just something to be aware of when booking your room. Magnificent stay, totally hooked on this hotel. Thanks Park Hyatt for the perfect birthday. I cant wait for our next visit to this GORGEOUS place.

Sobers 60 years on
From Tony Cozier
SIR Garry Sobers – the Right Excellent Sir Garfield St. Aubyn Sobers to accord him his full title as a knight of the realm and the only living national hero of his native Barbados – is not the type who makes a fuss over his achievements as, in the words of the 1965 calypso, "the greatest cricketer on Earth or Mars".
If he is inclined to play down his two coincidentally simultaneous anniversaries tomorrow, he is sure to have been reminded of their significance several times in the past few days. They mark the start and the end of his celebrated Test career.
March 30 is 60 years to the day since Sobers first appeared in a Test match for West Indies, against England in 1954 at Kingston's Sabina Park. It is precisely 40 since his last, also against England, at Port-of-Spain's Queen's Park Oval in 1974.
He took the field at Sabina as a boy of 17 from the working-class district of Bayland on the outskirts of Bridgetown, raised, along with five siblings, by a mother widowed by the loss of her seaman husband to a German torpedo during World War II; her second son had no formal coaching, just a love and an aptitude for any ball game.
He was a late, like-for-like replacement for left-arm spinner Alf Valentine, who was injured; he batted at No.9. His selection was based primarily on his unquestionable talent, obvious in his only two preceding first-class matches for Barbados, against the touring Indians the year before and the Englishmen earlier on their tour. He was so anonymous Wisden Cricketers' Almanack listed him as H.Sobers in the India scorecard.
"Not a soul was there when I walked into the dressing room, they were in the nets practicing," Sobers recalls of the day he turned up in the Kingston Cricket Club pavilion for his debut Test. "You then looked around and saw the names on the team sheet – Weekes (pause), Worrell (pause), Walcott (pause), Rae (pause), Stollmeyer (pause), Ramadhin (pause). I said to myself 'you've arrived, you've made it'."
A return of 28.5-9-75-4 and scores of 14 not out and 26 as England won by nine wickets verified his temperament as much as his skill.
By the time he strode on the Queen's Park Oval 20 years later, also against England, for his farewell after 93 Tests against all five West Indies' opponents of the day, he had certainly 'made it'.
It was a shame, but immaterial, that there was no grand finale; he was out for 0 and 20 and collected just three wickets in the match.
He had long since become a batsman supreme, departing as Test cricket's leading scorer with 8,032 runs, at an average of 57.78. His 26 centuries had been bettered only by the insatiable Don Bradman's 29. His 235 wickets in three contrasting left-arm styles were second to Lance Gibbs among West Indians. His 110 catches, snared mostly with Venus fly-trap reflexes in the slips or round the corner off Gibbs, were seven short of Colin Cowdrey's tally.
He captained West Indies in 39 matches, the most until Clive Lloyd came along to carry his formidable teams for 79.
His name remained affixed to 365 not out against Pakistan in Kingston in 1958 as the highest Test innings for 36 years until Brian Lara, a similarly gifted West Indian left-hander Sobers had mentored since he appeared in the annual, long-running International Schools tournament in Barbados that carries his name, passed it in 1994.
They are statistics that explain Sobers' widely acknowledged status as the most complete all-round cricketer of his time, indeed all time.
They do not tell the whole story of his remarkable endurance.
His first 85 Tests were in succession; no one had ever had such an unbroken sequence. He is adamant that he never left the field, not once, in any of them.
In addition to West Indies and Barbados, he had three stints with South Australia, where he became the first player to complete the double of 1,000 runs and 50 wickets in an Australia season, with English county Nottinghamshire for seven years and with clubs in the Lancashire League. He captained Rest of the World teams against England and Australia.
At the height of Sobers' preeminence in the 1966 series in England, the renowned English writer, Sir Neville Cardus, contended that he was "even more famous than Bradman ever was for he is accomplished in every form of the game and has exhibited his genius in all climes and conditions".
On the Saturday of the final Test of the memorable 1960-61 "tied Test" series, the temperature at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was as roasting as it was at the recent Australian Open tennis where some players were stricken with heat stroke. It didn't stop Sobers sending down 22 consecutive eight-ball overs on the day, mostly in his quicker style – and returning for 19 more on the Monday.
Such exhausting facts are even more astonishing given his legendary enjoyment of life, a capacity I marveled at during several nights on tour in his company. He was never concerned that it would affect his game. It was his way of relaxation. Cooped up in his room, he said, would unnecessarily get him worried about the cricket. To each his own; his justification is in the record books.
And what about keeping as fit as he did? Certainly gym work and personal trainers were hardly known during his time.
"I used to swim a lot. I used to live at the beach. I used to play a lot of beach cricket. I played cricket every day," he said. "There was tennis and other sports (he represented Barbados at soccer and basketball even before he did cricket)."
"I got myself fit because I knew how fit you had to be to be at your best for five days of a Test match and not leave the field."
As we marvel at the action, athleticism and all-round ability of the players in the current World T20 in Bangladesh, it is not difficult to imagine how Sobers' talent would have flourished in the abbreviated formats that came along after he had swapped the cricket field for the golf course, a place where he habitually indulges what has long been a passion. It is another sport that he inevitably mastered.
Now 77, the passing years have generally treated him kindly. He has been technical consultant to the West Indies team and adviser to the team's sponsor. For the past three decades, his global fame has made him the ideal ambassador for Barbados tourism, the island's economic mainstay.
The hilarity heard from the boxes at Kensington Oval where he and several of his old mates gathered for the three T20 matches against England last month suggested the rekindling of happy memories.
They will also feature tomorrow for those of us lucky enough to have experienced the Sobers' magic during our lifetime.

Jad Abumrad is the creator of WNYC's Radiolab and a 2011 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient. He is a radio host and producer whose engaging audio explorations of scientific and philosophical questions captivate listeners and bring to broadcast journalism a distinctive new aesthetic. As co-host and producer of the nationally syndicated program Radiolab, Abumrad employs his background as a composer to orchestrate dialogue, music, and sound effects into compelling documentaries that draw listeners into investigations of otherwise intimidating topics, such as the nature of numbers, the evolution of altruism, or the science of emergent phenomena within ant colonies and other complex systems.
Jad Abumrad: I do feel like the kind of storytelling that I do is somehow independent of the technology that delivers it. I mean, I do happen to work on the radio, and I'm a guy who likes sound, so, in that sense, this technology does suit me. But I feel like storytellers, they're kind of like shamans, in way, and that your job, as a storyteller, is to kind of create a circle of connection that might as well be thousands of years ago around a campfire, in some sense. Your job is to induce a kind of dream state between people, which is, I think, where the stories live. The good stories are in a kind of collective dream state.
So even though Radiolab uses millions of layers and weird noises that are kind of interlapping in crazy sort of like counterpoint, I do feel like, in some sense, we're doing something that's very old. It's ancient. It just so happens that my voice contains all the bleeps and the bloops and the strange things that this technology enables, and I do feel like that's a crutch sometimes. I really do. I mean, there's something amazing about a person getting on stage like almost naked in front of an audience and just with their voice inducing that dream state. It's something magical about that. For me, someone who doesn't quite feel comfortable doing that, getting on stage, this technology allows me to have that voice.
But there are some crazy things you can do now, crazy synthesis techniques, where you can use any source to create these big long drones and soundscapes, and I use that stuff all the time. You know, what I'll do, one of my favorite little things I like to do in scoring the show is to take a bit of someone's voice that was just in the segment and maybe just like the "ch" on a syllable and using various things you can sort of almost grab it with two hands and stretch it and make it a mile long and create these like, strange kind of landscapes that are weirdly familiar. They sound weirdly like the voice still. So I love playing with that kind of stuff and there's all kinds of new technology within sound creation and every single one of it I use it all.
We're constantly editing our day with blinking.

BATON ROUGE - East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux and seven others will be inducted into the Louisiana Justice Hall of Fame today.
"I am humbled by the honor of being recognized by my colleagues and the community," Sheriff Gautreaux says. "I entered a career in law enforcement to serve the public, and I am blessed by the opportunity to do so. I am overwhelmed by such an acknowledgement."
According to EBRSO, Gautreaux's career in law enforcement spans 38 years, including 27 as the Chief of Police in Baker. He was elected seven times, and ran unopposed in his last four terms. Gautreaux held the position until he resigned in 2007 to run for East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff.
The ceremony today include a luncheon and tour of Angola State Penitentiary followed by a reception and banquet tonight.

The Military Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals is proud to announce the addition of our newest member – Tony DeBiase with West USA Realty in Mesa, Arizona. By becoming a member of MVAREP, Tony has joined a dynamic group of concerned citizens and real estate industry professionals committed to promoting home ownership opportunities within the military and veteran community. MVAREP is open to all with members from the real estate community including real estate agents, real estate brokers, lenders, loan officers, title and escrow, home inspectors, insurance representatives, etc., as well as concerned citizens and any one who wants to recognize the sacrifices of military service members including military veterans, active duty service members and national guard members. MVAREP was formed with many goals in mind. First and foremost, the main objective will be to promote home ownership within the military and veteran community. MVAREP will do this by creating and developing programs to educate both the real estate community and general public on the benefits of working with a VA (military) home buyer as well as provide the tools and training for the real estate community to better help and serve members of the military and veteran community. From there, local and national events will be held with distinguished key note speakers, as well as tools and training provided to all members. MVAREP was founded by David E. Dion of Solutions Real Estate with offices in both Arizona and California. David is a Service Connected Disabled Air Force Veteran who served on active duty from 1986 – 1990 and also the Massachusetts Air National Guard from 1990 – 1995. David himself was recently trying to use his VA Home Loan Guarantee benefit for his own home purchase in Southern California and realized the challenges first hand. He had made a full price offer (and higher) on more than one home and each time had his offer rejected. In competitive selling situations, the VA Home Buyer offer is frequently put on the bottom of the pile, or identified as the least desirable offer when compared to a cash buyer, a conventional buyer and even an FHA buyer.

Phil Bredesen just said on politico.com/arena:
For me, Barack Obama's historic win passes one of the best gut checks of all; I felt great about it last night, and I feel even better the morning after. It is the right thing for America on many levels.
As for its meaning, I do have a respectful request for the president-elect this morning. The strategy that produced our national win came at a real cost to Democrats here in Tennessee. We lost seats in the Senate, and this morning we have the first Republican House since the civil-war era. With the red landslide here in Tennessee, and with many counties with Democratic officeholders voting in the high 60s and even 70s for McCain, it's very hard to swim against that current.
The center has shifted in this election, but America still has cultural divides we need to bridge.
My respectful request is this: I ask you to now reach out to all those people in my state—and across America— who attend small-town churches, who shop at WalMart, but who weren't quite there for you yesterday; make them too a part of your vision for America. They will increase your understanding of our wonderful country, they will strengthen your ability to govern, and they need you.
Shorter Bredesen:
- Tennessee Dem losses are Obama's fault, not mine
- Obama's a snob who doesn't like small town voters who shop at Walmart. Obama has been reaching out to voters like this for 20 months.
Respectfully request, huh? I respectfully request that the State Democratic Party censure Bredesen.
They should. Backstabber. No, Tennessee was never in play nationally. But isn't it partially the responsibility of a Democratic Governor? Think how often you've heard of Ed Rendell's hard work to keep the state of PA blue, for comparison to Bredesen's lackluster performance. Working hard for the national ticket has a direct impact on down-ticket races, Mr. Bredesen. Seems like you've been slacking pretty badly, sir.

Bredesen's performance as
Bredesen's performance as the top-of-the-ticket standards bearer for TN has been beyond pathetic.
* He has consistently berated party activists to stay at home, as he did in 2004 when he flatly stated that "Tennessee is not in play for Kerry" and pretty much the same thing in 2008;
* He interfered in the Senate race in 2008, encouraging people like McWherter & Davis to sit it out;
* He can't blame Obama for what happened to the state in 2006 when he managed to preside over the loss of the State Senate majority - he only has to look in the mirror to puzzle that one out. The House loss is merely an extension of the steady losses he's presided over since he came to office;
* Let's not forget the hurt feelings and alienation that he himself created among his base of support by his TennCare and workmans' comp "reform" packages in his first term;
* Bredesen has consistently won more solid support among Republicans than he has among Democrats - it's a constituency that he has openly courted for his eight years in office. And then he wonders why the political ATM doesn't pay out for him when it counts?
* The TNDP has been a "Bredsen re-elect committee" ever since 2002 when Bredesen brought in his own crew of people and installed them, so it should come as little surprise that they've not been much of a help to anyone but Bredesen.
* Still wondering why you weren't vetted by the Obama VP search committee, Phil? Still smarting, pal? Sour effin' grapes.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap! Special holidays, Sundays and rates!
Obama did reach out to small town folks. From everything I've read and seen, its seems national candidates write off Tn. because our own native son Gore lost so big here. I respect our state Dems for good programs like Coverkids and not letting the worst of the anti-abortion crazy stuff pass and keeping us one step above Ala., but other than that I don't care much for them. The commercials state Dem. candidates ran sounded like GOP commercials.
Bredesen is an asshat of the first order.
Not quite as lame as Joseph Bailey, but close.
Found this quote from
Found this quote from October 2004 (from the Tennessean):
"Gov. Phil Bredesen said he is "cautiously confident" that Democrats can hang on to their majorities in the state House and Senate.
"There is no question I live in a state that is leaning Republican," said Bredesen, the first Democrat to win a statewide office since Ned McWherter's re-election as governor in 1990.
"The way the presidential race is shaping up certainly doesn't help to elect Democratic legislators," Bredesen said.
So, when Kerry was losing, that wasn't helping him.
And when Obama won, that didn't help him either.
It's always someone else's fault.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap! Special holidays, Sundays and rates!
Wonder what tune he'd be
Wonder what tune he'd be singing if the governor's election was on the same cycle as presidential elections?
y respectful request is this: I ask you to now reach out to all those people ... who weren't quite there for you yesterday
So, Obama, why didn't you beg me to take the VP slot? And why didn't you grovel to get me to campaign for read Dems in TN?
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
Hunter S. Thompson
So, what shall we do?
Guys (gals too), I know many avoid me due to my aggressive methodology when it comes to addressing the opposition and their enablers in our own party.
Well, did I have these Blue Dogs pegged right or not?
Now the question remains. As bloggers and the custodians of the historical record, we have two years to find a battle plan and tear these humanoids down.
What are we going to do?
We have to attempt to educate the Tennessee public about the fact that our economic and social misery is the product of Republican and Dpublican incompetence and outright malice.
These people, from Bredesen to Alexander, are a blight on this great state.
We have to send that message in a very aggressive fashion and not confined to the internet.
We will have to be at least a little vicious.
We have two years. I'm considering doing some freeway blogging soon. Gas prices will move lower as Big Oil kisses Obama ass. We can afford to mobile.
We have to educate the public as best we can.
Maybe we should have a meet up in Knoxville somewhere and form a battle plan.
Any gifted community organizers amongst us?
We have to do something. We're probably the only ones who even care at this point.
All I know is that it will be easy to fall asleep after this great national victory we've won. We can't afford even one wink.
Open to suggestions of action. You all know where to find me.
Ford & Bredesen
I was big time for Harold in '06 & still like him & if he ever runs again I'm for him.
Bredesen is a Democrat that wins.Won Knox County twice & made history as the first candidate for governor to sweep EVERY county in the state in '06.I'm not a 100% Bredesen man but I like him,voted for him,wanted him to win & think he's been a good governor.
I've heard the complaints about Bredesen that have been reflected on this thread over & over from some for the last 6 years.
I understand & I have had the same misgivings about Democrats in the past.I didn't however think those Democrats were a piece of shit.
In '80 I went with Senator Kennedy over President Carter & when Carter won the nomination I wanted Carter to win.
In '84 I went with Senator Hart over Mondale but swung in line behind the nominee.
In '86 I thought Dick Fulton was a great choice for governor.But McWherter won & I liked him as a governor.
In '92 I wasn't sold on Clinton & went with Jerry Brown for the nomination.But I got behind the nominee & was glad Clinton won.
In '94 the same arguements were made against Senator Sasser that have been made against the Governor.I was never a huge supporter of the Senator & didn't think much of it when he lost.BUT I was wrong & it's taken the Democrats 14 years to dig out of the hole the Republican sweep of that year put us in.
This year I was suprised that the Republicans took the state house.I heard the talk that they were trying to win the state house but I'd heard that talk for years.This time the Republicans walked the walk.
Pushing the Republican ticket..from McCain to Lamar! & keep going to the down ballot state house candidates.I guess thats why Lamar! & Duncan were running tv adds...keep the eye on prize..the state house ..VOTE REPUBLICAN.Dunn got what 70% in his state house race?
I'm sure the Governor did not exepect the Democratic ticket to fall so hard but it did.Bredesen did campaign for Obama in other states.Maybe he should have stayed home & hit the streets harder in Tn for the state house candidates.
My advice is for all of you folks that don't care for the Governor is to make it known to him.Make it clear you think he's whatever it is you think he is next time the Governor's in town.
I'm not a 100% Bredesen man but he's a Democrat..he's won Knox County twice & for me that ain't half bad.
Bill, no offense. I like you
Bill, no offense. I like you a whole lot. But please enumerate anything Bredesen has done for down-ticket Democrats, starting with candidate recruitment all the way to out and out campaigning. I'm all ears. As far as I'm concerned, since he's been Gov, he's just as responsible for putting that tiara on Jimmy Duncan's head every two years as any Republican has been.
I'd love to hear this one
I'd love to hear this one myself....
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap! Special holidays, Sundays and rates!
Here goes
In east Tennessee House races Bredesen helped Vaughn & Yokley in the last two elections.Hackworth & Bryge this time...helped Litz in '04.Stumped for Schree in '06.
In east Tennessee Senate races this time helped Williams & Ruppe.Helped Kilby in his races.
In '06 went door to door for Lowe Finney in a west Tennessee senate race.
Maybe he wasnt as active as he was in '04 & '06.
I was for Randy Nichols in '02 & I don't know Bredesen execpt to shake his hand but he runs the state well & is a Democrat.
Some folks I really trust Tommy Schumpert,Wade Till & Norman Riddle think the world of Bredesen & I take them @ their word.
If you dont like him you dont like him.Thats fine with me.I know alot of Obama folks aint to happy with him & I know alota folks that haven't liked him for years.
But for me Bredesen is the goddamn fucking Democrat governor of our devil red state so hell yes I'm for him.
But I'm partisan like that.
Same way it dont make much sense to folks over in the 2nd district but I like you,Nancy,Billy,Amy,Mark & Cortney.They all got one thing in common..they keep showing up for Democrats.
But for me Bredesen is the
But for me Bredesen is the goddamn fucking Democrat governor of our devil red state so hell yes I'm for him.
But I'm partisan like that.
I hate political parties, but I love Bill.

Cops accused of cover-up attempt in burning of prisoner
Police are being accused of trying to cover up the alleged torture of detainee Junior Thorrington, the 19-year-old who claims he was burnt by police officers while in custody at the Sparendaam Police Station.
Thorrington says lawmen soaked his hands with methylated spirits before lighting them on fire and then kept him in the lock-ups for three days before taking him to the hospital.
Thorrington, of Lot 1 Eastville, Annandale, East Coast Demerara, is now a patient in the Georgetown Public Hospital Burn Care Unit, while police have launched an internal investigation into his alleged torture. However, even before the announcement of the investigation, police allegedly attempted to get Thorrington to forego legal action by reportedly paying over $100,000 to a relative of the man.
Thorrington's allegations, which recall the use of methylated spirits by police to burn the genitals of a 15-year-old detainee at the Leonora Police Station in 2009, are just the latest to be made against the police force, which has been trying to repair its public image under the tenure of new acting Commissioner Seelall Persaud in the face of continuing abuses by its members.
Recalling his arrest, Thorrington told Stabroek News yesterday that he was walking his dogs in his neighbourhood when he was approached by police officers. He said that the officers accused him of wandering and asked him to get into the police pick-up vehicle.
However, he said he refused and he was grabbed and thrown into the tray of the vehicle.
Later the same day, he said, he was taken to the back of the police station, where one of the officers threw methylated spirit on his hands. With the help of other police officers, one of the officers started a fire and burnt his soaked hands.
His attorney, Dexter Todd, who is a former policeman, said the recent occurrences of violent behaviour portrayed by police officers is not acceptable. He referred to the alleged shooting of Alex Griffith, 15, by a policeman who was playing Russian Roulette with him.
He said someone has to account for these situations.
He noted that the police will be given a full opportunity to investigate the matter because they have initiated the investigation.
Statements from Thorrington, Todd explained, were taken yesterday. He added that he hopes the investigation is finished before a month is up.
Addressing the $100,000 allegedly taken by Thorrington's father from police officers at Sparendaam Police Station, for which he supposedly signed a paper stating that he will not take legal action against officers, Todd said that he was not told of the transaction. He, however, said that he believes the money was given to the man to assist with his son's transportation and not to pervert the course of justice.
The teen's father refused to comment on the accusation.
Activist Mark Benschop said that after the attack, police officers through an officer in the hierarchy, bombarded the teen's father and coaxed the man into taking the money for payment of medical bills.
He added that after the attack, a relative of the teen contacted him from overseas and informed him of what had transpired and he then made contact with the teen's father.
He stated that the family has agreed that no money will be taken outside of court. He also warned that since officers attempted to offer money supposedly to avoid legal complications, it clearly shows that the police were ready to cover up the case.
