- t was an incredible experience to meet for a one-on-one conversation with Police Officer Roger Alexander, known for his candid declaration, "I'm as Real as It Gets!" During our discussion, I aimed to delve deep into the roots of the extreme criminal activity plaguing Port of Spain, seeking insights from one of Trinidad's most renowned and respected law enforcement figures.

Chris Must List
CHRIS YOU'VE GONE WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE IN TRINIDAD
BIG UP
Fore real. Chris has a skill of communication language that transcends socioeconomic lines. Big up and bless Chris. Mad respect.
They were all paid for those interviews and Chris Channel boosted up ..
@@allancrane8446 Is manipulated skill towards lower class citizens nothing superior about that other than a white man interviewed black ghetto youths
But were is he
And now he’s missing
This man talking the true reality the same things happing in Jamaica trust me this man really able to explain the issues in more than many top people government etc his explanations are spot on reality
He's able to explain it so clearly because hes in the shit also lol don't be fooled this man is no angel he is as bad as the rest of them
Dis man was in the dragons den...he would know because he lived it...
thats why they arrested him ?
I was always impressed with Officer Alexander. He knows his stuff. He seems to be down to earth and very approachable but it appears that when he is engaged in his job, he can be a beast, no compromise whatsoever.
yea he seeing everybody wrong but police never wrong he gang perfect
Chris, one of your best videos. Real issues and as Mr. Alexander said, no simple answers. Parents and family members need to be honest with the members of their families involvement with gangs and crimes. Until all involved take responsibility the finger pointing will never stop.
So many Trinidadians living abroad refusing to go home due to the neighborhood gangs and shootings. There needs to be new laws regarding ownership and seizures of guns. No one should be able to walk the streets proudly showing off weapons. The entire legal system needs an overhaul.
So sad to see younger children seeing people dying due to gun violence and normalizing this behaviour.
Opportunities must be created to or the youths and adults to find HOPE. Without Hope what are the aspirations for change.
Well done Chris. Hoping for the best for the people and country
Safe travels.❤❤✌️✌️
It's common knowledge that this guy is one of the most corrupt cops ,seems you're just watching news and have know idea what's really going on.
Alexander is a Capital dunce, and all of you wonder why we cannot solve the crime issue. D stands for dunce
Chris, I'm a Trini living in Vancouver, been an expat in Canada for 65 years, and lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Yukon, Alberta and BC, and traveled thru the USA in the 70-80's and have had many profound experiences. This interview is one of the most profound because it uncovers at least one layer of truth about the dynamics of the gang life.
I pray that this interview will be seen in the future as being the trigger for the eventual total transformation in the hearts of the Gang members in Trinidad, and maybe, even other countries.
Your videos could do miracles for these gang members.
You have shown the world (and mostly people still resident "back home") the HURTING HEARTS of some very peace loving, and peace DESIRING, but also very strong, very loyal, very determined human beings, in one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL countries anywhere on this planet !
Chris, I think the fact that you "were born without fear" allows the Love for your fellow human being to just flow out of you. People trust you and feel safe with you because they feel your love, sincerity and your genuineness.
You really do want to see an end to what seems to us outsiders as senseless violence and murder. And I do also, but I think you know where the REAL change that brings LASTING PEACE has to take place. It has to be in the hearts of the Gang Leaders and Members themselves.
Where hard drugs like coke, crack, heroin, and uppers are involved, it's hard for those involved to talk to the enemy for "peace", it's almost impossible to DECIDE to "give up the life, the cash flow, the girls, the adren-rush of the "cool play" ... for what? An uncertain peace and what looks from that side like a dull, boring life.
It is possible, however. It has happened before in history. It always takes the Strength, Courage, and WILLINGNESS of just one Gang Leader(s) to agree to FORGIVE THAT ONE THING (a betrayal, a theft, a murder) that was done to them, or someone close to them "donkey years ago now"! .
This One Courageous Leader will have found it in his heart to say, "This hatred must stop. WE MUST REMEMBER: WE ARE, AND WE ALWAYS WERE, BROTHERS FIRST OF ALL!"
Chris, your videos are historic and priceless. Trinidad & Tobago owes you a huge debt of gratitude for what you have uncovered and shown the rest of the country and the world. I remember when I still lived in T'dad in the 50's, everyone in the rest of the island was afraid of "The Buntas" (short for ''marabunta"...a hornet indigenous to the tropics with a very bad sting) as the gang "Up in Lavantille" called themselves. .
I don't know about "dem 'Buntas from the 50's up in Lavantille" but everyone you featured from "Up in Lavantille and Belmont" are people who have good hearts and souls. One can feel their honesty and sincere desire for peace, security and a desire for purposeful work!
I believe that PRAYER will help speed the manifestation of the intentions of honest and sincere hearts.
Stay Fearless, Loving and down to Earth, Chris. And may The Lord Jesus Christ, who is obviously leading, protecting and using you as an instrument of His desired reconciliation between peoples, continue to bless you with such true friends and family all over the world, and especially in Trinidad & Tobago.
Officer Alexander, Thank you, Sir, for granting this historic interview. You are a brave man indeed, for I know how vulnerable you and your loved ones must be, but I believe the Lord Jesus is also protecting and guiding you and yours.
You'll see that your interview is part of His Great Plan of Peace for Trinidad & Tobago. May God continue to bless you, Officer Alexander.
he's been Detained by police today. very sad this is happening
Damn who's reading all that
I enjoyed this interview. He was very articulate and informative 😊
Well he's a very high ranking officer. He has to be.
Don’t forget pretentious and deceitful 😉
Don't forget corrupt
@@shannaclarke8556. What type of. High Rank ? But where was he when Chris got arrested? 🤔
@@ShaolinMonk95. Correct👍. . Where was he the moment Chris. Got arrested 🤔
FREE CHRIS MUST LIST😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never believe i would of say this, well done Alexander
Never believe i would of agree to this.
You’re right I agree with his points he makes a lot of sense
I guess that's why they arrested Chris🤷♂️🤷♂️
This cop was very real . I totally agree with him that parenting, school, community, and I will add that the church has a role to play in the prevention of crime and violence. And yes, we have to start with the very young
It takes a community to raise a child, need to get back to simpler times.
Together We Aspire. Together We Achieve.
Chris, this was the best cop interview i ever seen about the gang issue, thanks for being fair and open to both sides, Trinidadians local and abroad need to see this. Sorry your time has come to an end , but i know you said you will be back to Trinidad., Can't wait to see where you go next, God bless and protect you wherever you go
Agreed! Chris, I'm a Trini living in Vancouver, been an expat in Canada for 65 years, and lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Yukon, Alberta and BC, and traveled thru the USA in the 70-80's and had many profound experiences, Nothing has riveted me as much as this interview has.

@@WondeRednoWyou are not an expat you are a migrant.

@@65NART You are correct. Thank you.
As long as the drug trade remains lucrative, it will be difficult to bring the crime rate under control.

Comrade Alexander. I really like this interview.
You have made a lot of sense.
I agree that this crime problem that we are being faced with can be solved.
We just need the right mechanism in place, to avoid the mindset to go into that direction of crime.
Government and system needs to change definitely
young people seeing the riches that exist in the country, lack of REAL opportunity to access that riches & the inequality & saying why play by the rules that wont get them athose riches when the leaders are not ,
@@BuzzChroniclesalso young people must understand how hard others work to get things no one is entitled to wealth flowing in the country but you must seek opportunities and exploit through entrepreneurship. Not because one doesn’t have entitles them to harass others who worked 16 hrs days to get theirs
Inequality is a global issue not on in T&T Can't change
Chris, you put your heart and soul into Trinidad and Tobago and these interviews. Assuming you haven't already interviewed him, I hope you speak to crime journalist Ian Alleyne. Best of luck in your future travels and God bless. Hope you return to T&T soon...
Ian is not a journalist
Crime journalist? Ian is a clown 😂. He all about fame and clout.
No no no - Ian Alleyne is a swell headed egotistical clown. Do not interview him.
@@boost3d766he love the game and the clout just like the 6 7 8 9 gang members but you can’t deny he has done good things
He has a role to play as well
May God protect you bro Chris Must List in Jesus mighty name amen 🙏🏾
Great Conversation Video Chris, much appreciated 👍
I was waiting for this interview since the day you mentioned it...... this is the best explained video I've seen of Trinidad so far ...... Alexander isn't just respected but feared all over.
Another great video Chris miss the premire but watching now🙏❤️
Amazing line of questioning and interview overall
Hey! Chris , big up to you and my Hero, a man I look up too officer Alexander. Blessings to you both. Thanks for sharing.
Chris that was a good interview with Mr Alexander the problems and situations he spoke about we having the same thing in Jamaica everybody blaming government no one taking responsibility for their own actions or inaction
Correct logical thinking are still around leave people countries internal domestic affairs and politics alone find a job
Chris I love how you answered your question. On who is to blame. Most Trinidadians would point to the government. If you didn’t interject. He might of said the same thing. If you go on the ( ministry of Youth development and national service.)You would see how much programs, trade schools, makeshift work programs. You have parents that drop out of schools. These are some of the women and men having kids with each other. The men looking for easy money. The women looking for easy money from these men. So this is the environment that these kids are growing up into. Don’t worry with some of these men. Even if they get jobs. They cannot leave their neighborhoods. Because of their lifestyle. But it’s easy to blame the government. That’s the mindset of a lot of Trinidadians. Citizens in this country. Gets free medical treatment, free medicine, free hospital stay, free education. Up To University. Some pay next to nothing. Subsidized electricity, gas, water. Grants to fix their homes, food cards, community centers in every neighborhood, feeding programs in schools. Things that . NGOs do in other countries. They want the government to do also. They don’t know. The government has billions in loans to pay to lenders . Plus run a country. Not saying government gets free a pass. But the responsibility of raising law abiding kids. Starts at home. Thank you for not buying into all the fluff. I would like viewers. To go on the youth ministry website. And not just go off what is being said in public. It has lawyers, teachers. That came out of some of those ghettos. Their parents push them to be better and want better for themselves.
Well said this generation just don't want to learn nothing they rather get into a life of crime to get easy money
Never like Alexander but he speaking straight factz
Did you know why you didn’t like him or you were just told not to like him?
The episode I’ve been waiting for! I miss seeing him on tv.
Yeh, it real stale without him and Marlon, they had real unmatched television chemistry. No disrespect to the new host but they are as dull as ah big stone.
👏🏾 👍🏾🙏🏾 Your CZcams series on TnT has been an excellent source of information for me in understanding the state of play on the streets and how it has effected the society of my home from home! My parents were from Trinidad but I was born and raised in England but have lived in Sweden since 1987, I had visited Trinidad several times in the early nineties but even back then as tourists, we had to be careful. I then decided that all my future holidays would be in Tobago because the shit that was happening in Trinidad had not spread there! I have stayed in Tobago many times sometimes up to three months at a time over the decades with breaks of several years in between! With every return trip to Tobago, I could see and feel a negative change and attitude from the younger generations coming up! My last trip in Tobago was almost twenty years ago, because on that trip I experienced several uncomfortable situations with gangs on the Island that could have put my family at risk! I LOVE Tobago and have been waiting for things to get better so as to continue my vacations there, however, all my present research has led me to the realisation that I shall just have to live with the fond memories now that Tobago has become just like Trinidad! 😥 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
so sad
Truly!😥
Chris, you are God sent. May God continue to use you and bless you as you do what you are called to do. I have been watching, I believe, when you started on CZcams.🙏🏾🙌🏾💖💖💖💖
Amazing video Chris .. your interview skills are really great for someone who is not a journalist. Well done
Thank you Chris. Sorry you had this experience. You are educating me on my own country
This is the only Police I think in Trinidad who understands the streets
Chris as far as I'm concerned YOU do what no one else EVER does! You your content is always interesting and fresh and something other youtubers should do!
So tru. I speake protection and GODS guidance upon his life and family life in JESUS name..
This what I call becarefull how we intertain strangers. It can be angles unaware.
He has a hear of a LION. I see bravery boldness and love in CHRIST.hats off to him.
You nailed all the questions and he nailed all the answers. I love this video Chris. Perfect!
You continuously amaze me with every video. Better and better. Number one CZcamsr
Around minute 14 and on is a VERY important point that is super complicated, also you asked some great questions, bravo to your purpose Chris
Great interview he’s a good man looking out for his community as a leader and law enforcement
Very valid points and every country, state, are dealing with these issues and like he said your country could be the next! Very true Canada is not far from the way they are experiencing and in some ways it’s already happening!
❤ Chris you are on one heck of an adventure! Love watching your videos 😊❤
I have
Chris, I have great respect for all of your blogs. ❤
All of Trinidad needs to subscribe to this channel
Much love chris great interview with Mr Alexander
Roger Alexander should be the Commissioner of Police.
Well you must be mad
@@user-pj1fh5rh8whe should be a commissioner bcuz he is a gangsta cop..
Alyuh crazy we best they put GG man
This mán lock up jus coming from work i go never forget that most corrupted officer in Trinidad
I respect Alexander, only a wolf can hunt a wolf
He's certified 🐺✅
This comment is under rated
Facts
Alexander for commissioner but if you travel the world and live on a farm you would know pothounds dogs kill wolves ..
Roger is a Don of TnT a good Don teaching the youth rite not wrong a great leader.
I enjoy this interview and the information that I gather from it
9:00 what you saying here is true chris This is the first generations of real criminals in T&T 20 years ago none of this existed & murders didn't cross 75 you are the first person to raise this
The gangster lifestyle is not indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago. In the early 90s, the US govt deported criminals back to Trinidad. Our govt was not advised apparently and these men recreated the gangs they belonged to in the US here. The gangs in the US are tied into their music industry they came here and replicated that. They also came from Jamaica.
Good interview Mr Alexander👍
Freedom for Chris 🙏🏿💪🏿Trinidad Babylon
Respect to you chris and the officer, all questions were well answered
The government, parents, the businesses, got to change, Officer Alexander gave us facts
Thank you Chris foe another banging video
Much respect to Chris and Alexander. Blessed ❤❤❤

Glad your free❤
Roger Alexander is my new favorite person
Great interview. Very interesting. It's an eye-opener. Insightful. Mr. Alexander is very knowledgeable.
Bro is a damn good talker, his points are valid.
Excellent and top notch interview Chris. I'm not a fan of the police but I've found a respect for this here officer.
Sweet Trinidad and Tobago, ...hope we get back the sweetness great ppl still live here
This is the most sensible video u have dont in since your here
Chris good job as always
Big interview Chris 💯
Blessed good night Boss, Mr. Chris. Great interview with the gangs and the top cop of Trinidad and Tobago. He is right, it have no work for some of people here.
Big Dude speaking facts! In order for change you have to Make change!
You gotta post these videos once you are gone from a place man
Exactly 💯
School boy error 😂
cant believe your still there.. u are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope u still get to meet kalonji
Alexander what I like about this interview he always listen before he respond…..
Very easy to see why there's so much blood by the examples of leadership we have.
Intresting video Chris Must List
Well experienced fully knowledgeable street smart intelligent sir u hitting the plethora of issues faced on point
The effects of colonialism still exist. This man went to Trinidad as a visitor with the intention of making money. That's a business trip. He was robbing the country and its people of taxes. Also, he's a liar. He was arrested and deported from Somalia for disrespecting their culture.
Robbing of taxes how??.... I saw in comments on another video that something happened in Somalia, but I don't know what and I only heard of this guy few days ago.
@antoniotula262 If you are to enter a country for financial gains, that's a business trip. You pay taxes on your gains. Just as the local do.
In Somalia, he was arrested and deported for treating poor and homeless people with disrespect. He was throwing money at them like he was feeding chickens. That did not go down too well with the locals.
I totally agree with Alexander when he say d solution could well be more carnival activities
More activities but not Carnival activities.
That is a variation on paying people to play basketball in order to prevent crime.
Have the creative and performing arts been explored? There are a variety of avenues to explore.
A lot of them don’t require CXC passes.
But ongoing adult education in business development, accountancy, identifying export markets and business law are all necessary if the presently marginalised are to find their own out of this morasse.
This was such a great video filled with wisdom.
Chris big up love your videos bro blessings
Big up Chris one love🙏❤️

Nah he definitely looks like Papa Smurf ppl ..
Happy weekend. Nice vlog. Have a great day🎉❤
Great Journalism Chris 💯
Because he spoke the truth everyone vex
He spoke wise,
not the truth.
I don't disagree with what was said but corruption is real in law enforcement
@@laughingserpent8996 Because you don't agree with him it's not the truth?
@@ricko2301 didn't you not read and understand what I said.
Smh don't rush into making a dumb response.
I clearly said 'I don't disagree....'
But I personally have had dealings witnessing corruption.
Great interview. Well done Zanda
Miss you Alexander
Chris. I'd never tell you how to do your videos but, some of the audio is suffering and occasionally the video will cut out to a green flash. You do great work. Please consider external mics. I know you shoot with a small camera so if externals aren't an option, maybe a new one? It would suck if the green flash ended up corrupting an interview or entire card. Take care sir. Keep up the great work!
And a 4K cam!
See this process of the privacy council overseeing an island in the Caribbean needs to stop. UK must go
We have the Caribbean Court Of Justice which base in Trinidad many islands refused to sign up with it Jamaica included
I live here in the uk and our government is some of the most corrupt just below america
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hi Chris,im so sorry this happened to you!! Good to see you're out!!! Im Praying for you & your family as always !!that !!what the enemy meant for evil,God will take it , make it Good for those who love him!! God always has a plan!! Great Interview !! My question s are guns legal in Trinidad ? Hang in there!! Much love!!! 🙏🏽💖👍🏽
Great Interview i wish you asked him if national service should be introduced Into Trinidad
National service is fine for immediate relief, but is it a viable long term mea? To answer my own question, a lot would depend on the goals and structure of national service.
Great interview 👍
