Our country need a mental makeover.
There is too much tolerance for misconduct.
Too much empathy for wrong.
Too much rationalizing for wrongdoers.
Too much” it’s not a big deal”, to social disorder.
I watched this attitude develop as a kid.
I watched it take on a life of its own to the point the people who enforce our laws became the enemy.
They were labeled Babylon, a term coined by misguided Rastafarians who are still fighting a war , their enemy still undefined.
But Rastafarians were not the problem,they simply coined the term.
The term Babylon became a pejorative , a term of derision and disrespect for those who upheld the laws , for the Rastafarians the term was intended for a wider system of injustice as they saw it.
For the society looking for scapegoats the term was appose. Society latched onto it and made it a scarlet letter of disdain for the Police.
So they demonized our law enforcement,and placed on them blame for every malady which ailed the society.
Because the people who make the decisions are above reproach .[sic]
Beyond being held responsible for the corruption , crimes and inequities they engage in.
They blamed the Police for every stupid ignorant choice they ever made at the voting booth, rather than hold the people they voted for responsible.
The society sowed blame ‚disrespect, hate, their every disappointment is pinned on the police.
The children grow up learning to be disrespectful of the Police bway , fire bun pan babylon .
While their parents curtsied and prostrated themselves at the feet of the so called big man the politician.
The filthy deceptive , thieving scumbags who give guns to their sons to kill their neighbor’s sons.
Shockingly they now feign wonder at the blatant disrespect their young people have, not just for the rule of law, or our officers, but for every societal norm their parents valued.
Are the police to be blamed for some of the things which ails them ?
Yes , you bet !
But the police as a group, have given much more in sweat,blood , and sacrifice than any other group of Jamaicans .Period !!!
Why wonder at the whirlwind of anarchy now?
You cultivated and nurtured it.
The enemies of the people ‚enemies of the state, they sit safely in Gordon House and that makes me angry.
I have never seen a single one of those scumbags lying in the streets dead , blood oozing from their heads.
I have never seen any of them left to die in one of the Island’s shitty Hospitals like Detective Sergeant Lynch was ‚after he was shot chasing criminals who had murdered innocents.
Sergeant Lynch had very chance to survive but his life was worth nothing to his civilian bosses who sent him out to protect and serve.
A headache, and they are off to Miami or new York for treatment.
My batch-mate Detective Sergeant Cowan too was shot and injured by men in the Rema Area years ago.
He too had all the chance in the world to survive , but the government did not think his life was worth saving either, so he too died from his injuries.
The list of brave and not so brave Police Officers and our colleagues in the Military who made the ultimate sacrifice to our country is endless.
Yet the nation’s illegitimate leaders have no idea how many .
Neither do they care.
And they have no intention of stopping it.
THEY SIDED WITH SELF SERVING LIARS AND CHARLATANS:
Rather than side with our nations warriors who risk life and limb to bend the arc of crime in our country,this band of miscreants sided with a bunch of elitists and arranged to further erode trust and confidence in our law enforcement by creating and putting in place an agency diametrically opposed to police.
One seen as a dear friend to murderers and gangland operatives, INDECOM was born.
Well known street cop Renetto Adams spoke in-artfully about this years ago .
He said Jamaica would pay dearly for it’s support for criminals.
His words have boomeranged with marksman-like accuracy and alacrity.
Like moles , the Elitists are burrowed into the infrastructure of the society.
They sit on boards , they are on the bench , the are in the legal fraternity.
They are in Ministries and Institutions of higher learning, they are everywhere.
Some got their because of their hatred. animus and disdain for the police.
Just ask the media about that ‚for decades they dominated the messaging because they controlled the megaphone..
People were told to stone police stations as a means to air their displeasure.
Police officers were degraded to jankru on national television, for daring to stop and question a crack head newscaster, out buying drugs in Barbican late at night.
So don’t shed your damn crocodile tears now that your children are killing innocent people, including police officers left right and center .
You taught them to do the things they are doing.
Stop acting damn surprised, you refused to place the blame where the blame really belonged.
You took the disrespect which should have been placed on Manley , Seaga, Patterson,Portia, Golding , Holness and the band of criminals around them and you dumped your anger on the police.
Deal with the mess you created, you pretended that our country can be policed the way developed countries are.
In the meantime the politicians are safe with their police details.
They must think you are really stupid.
DON’T FORGET TO SHARE THIS ARTICLE TO SHOW YOU STAND WITH THE RULE OF LAW IN JAMAICA.
Rastafarians were at one time regularly brutalized by police and therefore they rightly earned being called “Babylon”. If the police were not brutalizing people there would not be the need for a Dr. Gomes.
