Dear Editor,
Having been born and raised in England of Jamaican parents and now living in Jamaica for a number of years, it puzzles me how the Jamaican police carry out their duties.
Why is it that the police always report that “gunmen” on seeing them always first open gunfire on them, usually missing and they return fire, killing one or more of these “gunmen”.
Now from these regular reports I’ve drawn the following conclusions:
* If men are in possession of illegal guns, there is no way they would want the police to know this and draw attention to themselves by opening gunfire on the police!
* If, as the police claim, gunmen do open fire on them, why do they usually miss, yet when the gunmen shoot at members of the public they usually kill or wound them!
* Why is it that we have policemen in the Jamaican police force from the UK who should know better and seem to accept these regular police reports as the truth, knowing fully well that back in the UK if every time a member of the public is killed by the police in a shootout, by opening fire first at an officer, a thorough investigation would take place, the truth would be revealed and the lies would have to stop!
All I can say is that the Jamaica Constabulary Force is so corrupt that it stinks! I don’t believe them. If for every socalled shoot-out between the police and gunmen, a videotape of the incident was produced, then the truth would be revealed because the judicial system rarely believes eyewitness accounts – the police are always right.
Some of these policemen and policewomen in the force could only call themselves police in Jamaica. No other police force in the world would have them! The police are given unlimited powers by the government to do anything they feel necessary to the citizens of this country, all in the name of fighting crime. They are the investigators, jury, judge and executioners! As long as the police continues to execute its own form of justice on suspects and not bring them before a court of law to face a fair trial, things will only get worse in Jamaica. Violence begets violence! The Bureau of Special Investigation, the body to investigate police killings is a waste of time. <span style="color: #FF0000">Corrupt police cannot investigate corrupt police.</span>
