In response to Terrence Williams transparent attempt to smear members of the police department, the JCF under Acting Commissioner of Police Novelette Grant has shown more balls than any male Commissioner, Deputy or Assistant has, since the Albatross (indecom) was forced on to the Jamaican people.
In response to media whore Terrence Williams’ attention seeking faux concern about police killings last week, the Police high command responded with their own explanation of the numbers.
Addressing journalists at a press conference he called at his Dumfries Road offices last week the (indecom) anti-police agitator Terrence Williams all but shed tears at what he characterized as his concern for the amount of fatal shootings the police department was involved in for the months of January and February this years thus far.
Williams who has never seen a Television camera or a microphone he did not like, called a press conference to shed crocodile tears for what he saw as a quote “worrying upward trend in police shootings for the first two months of 2017”.
Williams and his cohort Hamish Campbell a Scotland Yard agitator argued that there was a 55 per cent increase in police fatal shooting in the first two months of the year. They disclosed that over the period, a total of 31 people were shot dead by the police saying that this is worrying sign.
This Publication pushed back against that characterization immediately. In doing so I pointed out out that the lying deceptive Williams and his cohort were using numbers to convey a narrative which could not stand, because not only did it not tell the whole story, it was inherently done to create outrage against members of the security forces.
What I found utterly disgusting and shameful was that in the same week that Terrence Williams and Hamish Campbell were actively slandering the security forces, potentially placing their lives in more danger , a long serving police sergeant was gunned down in the Portmore area of St Catherine.
What neither Terrence Williams nor Hamish Campbell bothered to state was that there are no charges against any officer which goes to the lawful nature of those shootings.
What the two deceptive bastards did not say is that police officers are totally justified under the law in using lethal force to neutralize threats to their lives or the lives of others.
Needless to say the disgusting Judas Iscariot who heads ( indecom)did not mention his killing.
In response to Williams’ dangerous demagoguery the Police released information directly challenging Williams and Campbell’s disingenuous notions and concocted concerns.
According to the high command, an assessment of the data shows a direct correlation between an increased number of violent gun attacks against the security forces, increased gun murders and shooting of civilians and an increase in police use of deadly force when compared with the same period in 2016. It says a total of 45 gun assaults against cops were recorded for the first two months of 2017.
The High Command says of the 31 police-involved shootings, 23 resulted from shootings at the police while eight were as a result of assault at common law against cops.
In addition to releasing the data the police called for (indecom), advocate groups, families and community members to support their appeal to armed criminal suspects to surrender peacefully and desist from attacking security personnel.
When did police shooting criminals in defense of their lives become a concern ?
And Why is Terrence Williams so upset that violent criminals are shot?
Are we to understand that Terrence Williams prefer the killing of police officers?
That would not be my choice of language in addressing Williams and Campbell. But I understand that the Police like that goodly woman in that old British comedy, must ” keep up appearances”.
As I have said for years about this creepy little demagogue Terrence Williams, he understands the anti ‑law enforcement tendencies in the country and he has played it like a well tuned Stradivarius violin.
Why else would he go to the trouble to call a press conference to point out that police shootings have gone up while deliberately leaving out critical exculpatory information , unless his sole desire is to inflame passions against the security forces?
This really goes to the character and intent behind the leadership of (indecom), which needs serious, serious scrutiny.
This writer is quite content to be the sole person yelling in the wind until our country comes to it’s senses. Understanding that the actions of Terrence Williams does not pass the smell test.
In the meantime I must offer a word of congratulation to Acting Commissioner of Police Novelette Grant who has demonstrated more gravitas and balls than every Commissioner of Police who have served in my lifetime.
Bravo Novelette!!!
Numbers do not lie. Political hacks with their own agendas do.
An educated non-political professional woman does not need to kow-tow to politicians and their well placed destructive lackeys.
Our police officers have a job to do and they should do it without fear or favor, malice or ill will, and certainly despite crocodile tears from the enemies of our country and their local lackeys.
Never hesitate to hit back against these disingenuous lying charlatans who would shape public opinion against the hard working people who stand between innocent people and those who would destroy life.
I applaud you on this International Women’s day Novelette Grant.
You rock .
