THE moth­er of new­ly installed Commissioner of Police Dr Carl Williams wants Jamaicans to sup­port her son in his new job.

I’m ask­ing the good Lord and you mem­bers of the pub­lic to give him your sup­port,” Lynette Williams told the Jamaica Observer yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing the change of com­mand cer­e­mo­ny at the Police Officers’ Club in St Andrew.

Yesterday, Mrs Williams told the Observer that she was thank­ful for the suc­cess of her son and that the Lord had lift­ed him up.

I feel I’ve done my best with him, and I feel Carl will do his very best,” she said.

During the cer­e­mo­ny, attend­ed by Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and oth­er mem­bers of the Cabinet, Chief Justice Zaila McCalla and Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn, among oth­er offi­cials, the sym­bol­ic baton of com­mand was passed over by Acting Commissioner Glenmore Hinds to Williams.

Hinds served as act­ing com­mis­sion since Owen Ellington start­ed his pre-retire­ment leave in July. Read it here:  http://​www​.jamaicaob​serv​er​.com/​n​e​w​s​/​C​o​m​m​i​s​s​i​o​n​e​r​-​s​-​m​o​m​-​w​a​n​t​s​-​p​u​b​l​i​c​-​s​u​p​p​o​r​t​-​f​o​r​-​s​o​n​_​1​7​5​5​1​313

Minnesota Gov. Shows Himself As A Flaming Hypocrite

Mark Dayton

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is pub­licly urg­ing the Minnesota Vikings to sus­pend embat­tled run­ning back Adrian Peterson until his ongo­ing child abuse alle­ga­tions have been set­tled. Peterson was rein­stat­ed Monday just hours before alle­ga­tions of a sec­ond inci­dent with anoth­er one of his four-year-old sons came to light. “It is an awful sit­u­a­tion,” Dayton said in a writ­ten state­ment issued from his office in St. Paul.

Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.’ However, he is a pub­lic fig­ure; and his actions, as described, are a pub­lic embar­rass­ment to the Vikings orga­ni­za­tion and the State of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of vis­i­ble wounds, as has been alleged, should not be tol­er­at­ed in our state. Therefore, I believe the team should sus­pend Mr. Peterson, until the accu­sa­tions of child abuse have been resolved by the crim­i­nal jus­tice system.”

What a flam­ing hyp­ocrite, sure Adrian Peterson’s right to due process must be sus­pend­ed to ensure that the Vikings Organization and the State of Minnesota be saved embar­rass­ment. Never mind that Peterson has not yet got­ten his day in court.

Where does Politicians get off telling pri­vate com­pa­nies how to run their busi­ness­es any­way? Here’s a word of advise to the good­ly Governor, take your script­ed state­ment back . Re-word it then re-write it . Here’s what you should say ““Yes, Mr. Peterson is enti­tled to due process and should be ‘inno­cent until proven guilty.‘Signed: Mark Dayton.

You see Governor, after that line every­thing you said revealed you to be a med­dling hypocrite.

Governor here is what you should hang your damn head about .This is what’s shame­ful , please remove the hood from your face for a minute and look at what your KKK mem­bers dressed as cops are doing while you med­dle in what does not con­cern you .

Oh by the way this hap­pened on your watch. So there are no excus­es. You see Governor Dayton the high­er you climb is the more you expose your­self. Look at the abu­sive KKK mem­bers you have on your pay­roll and leave the courts to do it’s job. You are not a King.…

By the way there are a lot more of these offi­cial abuse by your Thugs. Do your job and leave oth­ers to do theirs.

You hyp­ocrite .….

UPDATE :::::

Since we went to pub­li­ca­tion the Minnesota Vikings have bowed to the pres­sure and once again benched Adrian Peterson for a sec­ond straight Game even though , like we said before, he has not had due process. 

The take-away from this, is just how pow­er­ful the Governor’s pres­sure is. Yet these bas­tards nev­er have a kind word for vic­tims of police abuse. Neither do they ever want to stand up and demand that the thugs on the State’s pay­roll respect the rights of every­one young or old , black or white.

I most def­i­nite­ly dis­ci­pline my daugh­ter. I have a 1‑year-old daugh­ter and I dis­ci­pline her,” Bush said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show, via CBS New York. “Obviously every per­son is dif­fer­ent. And I def­i­nite­ly will use my best judg­ment to dis­ci­pline her, depend­ing on the sit­u­a­tion on what hap­pens. I def­i­nite­ly will try to … obvi­ous­ly not leave bruis­es or any­thing like that on her. But I def­i­nite­ly will dis­ci­pline her harsh­ly depend­ing on, again what the sit­u­a­tion is.”

I’m from the South.

I think we have to be care­ful let­ting peo­ple dic­tate how they treat their chil­dren.” When Rome con­tend­ed that it does­n’t mat­ter where some­one is from because “right is right and wrong is wrong,” Barkley dis­agreed. “I don’t believe that because, lis­ten, we spank kids in the South,” he said. “I think the ques­tion about did Adrian Peterson go over­board. … But, lis­ten, Jim, we all grow up in dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ments. Every black par­ent in my neigh­bor­hood in the South would be in trou­ble or in jail under those cir­cum­stances. … As far as being from the South, we all spanked our kids. I got spanked, me and my two brothers.”

People with any sort of Christian back­ground, they real­ly believe in dis­ci­plin­ing their chil­dren,” Carter began. “My mom did the best job she could do rais­ing sev­en kids by her­self. But there are thou­sands of things that I have learned since then that my mom was wrong. This is the 21st cen­tu­ry. My mom was wrong. She did the best she could, but she was wrong about some of that stuff she taught me. And I promised my kids that I won’t teach that mess to them. You can’t beat a kid to make him do what you want to do.”

Hmmmm. Eagles coach Buddy Ryan in 1989 cut Cris Carter fol­low­ing the pre-sea­son. Carter lat­er admit­ted that Ryan released him because of alco­hol and drug abuse, includ­ing large amounts of ecsta­sy, cocaine and mar­i­jua­na, and cred­its his for­mer coach with help­ing him turn his life around as a result.

FBI Probes Traffic Stop That Left Missouri Teen In Critical Condition

The FBI is inves­ti­gat­ing alle­ga­tions of exces­sive force by a Missouri police offi­cer dur­ing a traf­fic stop that left a teenage motorist th (24)in crit­i­cal con­di­tion, author­i­ties said on Monday.

The FBI said in a state­ment that it is inves­ti­gat­ing whether police offi­cer Tim Runnels over­stepped his author­i­ty and vio­lat­ed the civ­il rights of Bryce Masters when he pulled over the 17-year-old and used a stun gun on him on Sunday in Independence, Missouri, a Kansas City suburb.

The inci­dent comes five weeks after a white offi­cer in Ferguson, Missouri fatal­ly shot an unarmed black teenag­er, spark­ing racial unrest and high­light­ing con­cern about the use of force by police.

Runnels used a stun gun on Masters after he did not coöper­ate when his vehi­cle was stopped, Paul Thurman, an Independence Police Department spokesman, said dur­ing a news con­fer­ence on Monday.

Obama’s Presidency

Obama and Bush
Obama and Bush

Barack Obama will be crit­i­cized and dis­re­spect­ed by prob­a­bly half of America irre­spec­tive of how well he does on any giv­en sub­ject. On September 11th 2001 planes crashed into the twin tow­ers in low­er Manhattan killing over 3,000 peo­ple. George Bush who was President at the time was alert­ed by his chief of staff Andy Card as he sat in a Florida class-room. Bush sat trans­fixed for a good five min­utes as if unsure how to react.

Bush waged America’s longest war in Afghanistan. Not sat­is­fied he waged an ille­gal war in Iraq killing that Country’s leader and splin­ter­ing Iraq’s eth­nic tribes the Sunnis, Shiite and oth­er eth­nic minori­ties leav­ing them to wage war against each oth­er. Unable to cap­ture or kill Osama Bin Laden whom they blamed for the attacks on the twin Towers Towers and the Pentagon , Bush shift­ed his rea­son for being in Iraq to Nation-building.

Obama address­es marines at camp Lejeune

There was no talk of Nation Building when he ille­gal­ly invad­ed a Sovereign Iraq. The lie then was that Saddam Hussein had what was coined as weapons of mass destruc­tion. Never mind that America, it’s European Allies and Israel pos­sess enough weapons of mass destruc­tion to destroy the Earth sev­er­al times over. Bush’s Cowboy atti­tude with America’s mil­i­tary pow­er, the Neocons world view and Donald Rumsfeld’s incom­pe­tence in han­dling the Iraq war cre­at­ed a smol­der­ing caul­dron of Militancy in the Middle East. At the cen­ter of Middle East ani­mos­i­ty toward the west is the Palestinian peo­ple’s con­tin­ued oppres­sion at the hands of Israel , aid­ed and abet­ted by America and some west­ern nations.

Bound at the hip in Military mus­cle-flex­ing with America was Britain, which was still act­ing like a world pow­er. Recent events includ­ing the newest Militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS emerged from the hor­nets nest Bush and his Neocon friends stirred up. Between the wars and incom­pe­tence Bush wrecked the Economy caus­ing mil­lions their jobs and homes. The crash of the American Economy in 2008 was rivaled only by the great depression.

THE ECONOMY

Under Obama, the econ­o­my has added 9.425 mil­lion jobs and lost 4.887, for a net gain of 4.538 mil­lion jobs. That’s a 3 mil­lion advan­tage over Bush. accord­ing to the Daily beast Michael Tomasky. 

WARS

Obama has wound down the Iraq war which he opposed from the start. In fact some argue he was elect­ed President pri­mar­i­ly because of his oppo­si­tion to that ille­gal, illog­i­cal war. The Afghan war is in it’s final throes. Obama did as he promised he would.

IMMIGRATION

on the green
on the green

Many Liberals are miffed at Obama for the num­ber of peo­ple deport­ed on his watch. Every week thou­sands of peo­ple are deport­ed from the United States for the flim­si­est of rea­sons. This process rips fam­i­lies apart, usu­al­ly it’s the par­ents who have breached US laws. Notwithstanding the chil­dren are made to suf­fer. The entire notion sur­round­ing the stat­ue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your hud­dled mass­es yearn­ing to breathe free”,now a colos­sal lie. Republicans have stead­fast­ly blocked Immigration reform claim­ing that Immigrants are Democratic vot­ers. Every attempt at reform is labeled an Amnesty. Of course their Conservative Hero Ronald Reagan grant­ed amnesty to peo­ple in the shad­ows dur­ing his presidency.

HEALTH CARE

Affordable Care Act the law of the land

Obama has out per­formed George Bush by every met­ric in less than 6 years , com­pared to Bush’s two terms. So there is no log­i­cal claim to be made against Obama as it relates to com­pe­tence, as it has been dur­ing Bush’s tenure. I won’t both­er to talk about the fact that despite Government lock-downs and across the board dis­rup­tion of the econ­o­my, Republicans, are slat­ed to retake the sen­ate and make fur­ther gains in the House. You decide on what that says about the voters.

Recently President Obama was exco­ri­at­ed for going back to play Golf after address­ing the Nation on the exe­cu­tion of an American Journalist by ISIS. The ver­bal assault is noth­ing new from those on the right. Their hatred for this President because of his

race is pal­pa­ble . It also makes them irrel­e­vant as seri­ous objec­tors. In response the pres­i­dent said he should have been more aware of the optics! You think?

Which leads me ask this of the President. Why would you want to play Golf at a Country Club owned by the Racist smut Donald Trump? Mister President there is an old Jamaican proverb which says “you lie with dogs you rise with fleas“No dis­re­spect to my Lab “Bud”. President Obama did not catch fleas from this Mutt. He end­ed up hav­ing to con­tend with the snide remark attrib­uted to him below.

Mister President you are a smart man but I believe the fact that you were raised on the Hawaiian Islands have total­ly cre­at­ed a false sense of America in you. On learn­ing that major Clubs in Westchester New York have rebuffed the President’s attempt to play Golf on their cours­es, I was embar­rassed for him, but most­ly I was embar­rassed for America, just not sth (20)urprised

This is the kind of thing one would expect from states such as Mississippi Alabama Texas and oth­ers where intel­li­gence is a rar­i­ty, and where igno­rance flour­ish­es. Obviously the back­lash against Barack Obama is far deep­er than just the KKK mem­bers who now don Police Uniforms under the guise of law enforce­ment offi­cers. The chick­ens are indeed com­ing home to roost.

President Obama Rejected From Top NY Golf Courses Over Labor Day Weekend: Sources

President Obama was turned down at sev­er­al top golf cours­es in Westchester while he was vis­it­ing the area over Labor Day week­end, sources tell NBC 4 New York.

The Trump National Golf Club, the Winged Foot and Willow Ridge were among some of the élite cours­es that rebuffed the pres­i­den­t’s request to tee off there, accord­ing to sev­er­al sources who were told about the pres­i­den­t’s advance team’s calls to the club managers.

Club man­agers appar­ent­ly did not want to incon­ve­nience their high-pow­ered and high-pay­ing mem­bers over Labor Day week­end by shut­ting down their cours­es to accom­mo­date the president.

The sources said the White House advance team was giv­ing the clubs just a day or two notice to fill the president’s open Saturday morn­ing in New York. Of sev­er­al cours­es con­tact­ed in New York and Connecticut, a spokesman for Fairview Country Club in Greenwich said it would have accom­mo­dat­ed the pres­i­dent if he had asked. That was the only club that said it would.

Labor Day week­end is one of the busiest times of year for golf cours­es, and with mem­ber­ship at some area clubs exceed­ing $100,000, many cours­es may not have want­ed to dis­place its mem­bers on a week­end when they would have want­ed to play.

Adrian Paterson indict­ed for dis­ci­plin­ing his own son.

Adrian Peterson

Minnesota Vikings star run­ning back Adrian Peterson turned him­self in to Montgomery County, Texas, author­i­ties ear­ly Saturday morn­ing. He was booked into the Montgomery County jail at 1:06 a.m. CT and released at 1:35 a.m. CT after post­ing the $15,000 bond. Peterson had been indict­ed by a grand jury on charges of reck­less or neg­li­gent injury to a child and a war­rant had been issued for his arrest. He flew back ear­ly Saturday morn­ing to Minnesota, where he has been deac­ti­vat­ed for the Vikings’ home game against the Patriots on Sunday. At a news con­fer­ence on Saturday after­noon, Montgomery County first assis­tant dis­trict attor­ney Phil Grant said Peterson was charged with one count of injury to a child and could be sen­tenced to as many as two years in state jail, as well as a $10,000 fine. Probation is an option, Grant said, for defen­dants with no pri­or crim­i­nal record. Grant said only one grand jury reviewed Peterson’s case, refut­ing a report that an ini­tial grand jury reject­ed the case and it took a sec­ond grand jury to indict Peterson. He said the grand jury “was pro­vid­ed lots of evi­dence over a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of week.

Obviously a Parent is not allowed to dis­ci­pline his child. So says the Government! Never mind that Adrian Peterson was raised

using those same stan­dards. Texas author­i­ties allege the boy was spanked with a switch from a tree and marks were vis­i­ble on him. I’m no expert on dis­ci­pline, yet it seem iron­ic that the Government is in the busi­ness of telling lov­ing par­ents how, when and even if, they may dis­ci­pline their own chil­dren, yet cops are giv­en a free hand to assault and even kill with­out con­se­quence. If this is not tyran­ny , what is?

The Government hauls a car­ing father before the courts who takes the nec­es­sary steps to cor­rect his own child, yet the Government refus­es to hold killer cops who abuse and mur­der inno­cent civil­ians account­able. In fact the Government shields and pro­tects them. Robert Muller for­mer head of the FBI report­ed­ly will con­duct Investigations into the NFL as it regards domes­tic vio­lence. If this was­n’t so insult­ing I would laugh. Where is Muller , where is the National out­rage for the almost dai­ly killing and assault vis­it­ed on inno­cent peo­ple by police? Absolute Tyranny !!!

Ray Rice is wel­comed with open arms by the fans of his home­town in New Rochelle. 

New Rochelle Welcomes Home Ray Rice.

New Rochelle wel­comed home it’s native son on Saturday. Ray turned up at his old High School with Wife Janay.Several hun­dred fans watched the game and many of them expressed sup­port for Rice. Dozens of fans wore Rice’s No. 27 Ravens jer­sey and some held signs, includ­ing one that read: ‘We love you Ray,’ and ‘New RO loves you.’

Rice for­mer High School Coach had this to say. “He made a mis­take in his life but New Rochelle is a very proud pro­gram, and once you’re a mem­ber, you’re a mem­ber for life,” DiRienzo said. “Even though Ray made a mis­take doesn’t mean we throw him out of the house. Ray’s one of my sons in my foot­ball fam­i­ly and we’d nev­er throw him out of the house.”

The mael­strom which has ensued since this inci­dent came ful­ly to light has had the oppo­site effect on me, com­pared to most . The feroc­i­ty of the attacks on Ray and even Jenay Rice, tells me this has noth­ing to do hsrice14s-3-webwith the Rices. Every ultra-lib­er­al fem­i­nist has crawled out from under their rock to con­demn Rice. As I wrote ear­li­er the NFL is rolling over so that Robert Muller can con­duct a top to bot­tom review . Where is Muller regard­ing the cops who beat the crap out of their wives after they fin­ish beat­ing the peo­ple they come in con­tact with?

The woe­ful­ly incom­pe­tent Media is inca­pable of inves­ti­gat­ing Voter Suppression. Corruption in Government, and the tyran­ni­cal Police state in which peo­ple are being abused dai­ly. They loop end­less cycle of garbage report­ing ‚fea­tur­ing every man-hat­ing fem­i­nist they can find. In addi­tion to the many self hat­ing blacks who are too stu­pid to see through the charade.

As I said in a pre­vi­ous Article they don’t care about Jenay Rice their objec­tive is to destroy their fam­i­ly. The blood-lust pil­ing on is in fur­ther­ance of break­ing the black fam­i­ly and replac­ing it with their degen­er­ate far left fem­i­nist agen­da. It is great to see Rice’s old high school foot­ball coach stand up despite the noise and embrace Ray Rice. 

There is a lot worse crap hap­pen­ing in America wor­thy of atten­tion. Worthy of round the clock media spot­light. Worthy of top-tier inves­ti­ga­tions, yet noth­ing is being done. Leave Ray and Jenay Rice alone .

First, the cur­ricu­lum it fund­ed must align with the lib­er­tar­i­an, dereg­u­la­to­ry eco­nom­ic phi­los­o­phy of Charles Koch, the bil­lion­aire indus­tri­al­ist and Republican polit­i­cal bankroller.

Second, the Charles Koch Foundation would at least par­tial­ly con­trol which fac­ul­ty mem­bers Florida State University hired.

And third, Bruce Benson, a promi­nent lib­er­tar­i­an eco­nom­ic the­o­rist and Florida State University eco­nom­ics depart­ment chair­man, must stay on anoth­er three years as depart­ment chair­man — even though he told his wife he’d step down in 2009 after a sin­gle three-year term.

Oscar Pistorius Verdict: Steenkamp Family Protest

Oscar Pistorius
Oscar Pistorius

The par­ents of Reeva Steenkamp say “jus­tice was not served” after South African ath­lete Oscar Pistorius was acquit­ted of mur­der­ing their daughter.

June and Barry Steenkamp told NBC News of their “dis­be­lief” that the court had believed Pistorius’s ver­sion of events.

Judge Thokozile Masipa found him guilty of the less­er charge of cul­pa­ble homi­cide, say­ing the state had failed to prove he intend­ed to kill.

Rush Limbaugh: We Already Have Museums For Women — “they Are Called Malls”

History Museum, an under­tak­ing Limbaugh con­sid­ered total­ly unnecessary.

There isn’t going to be a National Men’s [Museum],” Limbaugh com­plained. “[A]ll those war muse­ums and memo­ri­als, those are muse­ums to men. We’ve left the women out, that’s right.”The lack of an accom­pa­ny­ing National Men’s Museum wasn’t Limbaugh’s only beef with the plan, though. He also said it was redun­dant. “We already have, ladies and gen­tle­men, I don’t know how many muse­ums for women all over the coun­try,” Limbaugh argued. “They are called malls.”

Lesson In Roger Clarke’s Passing

Agriculture Minister Roger Clarke
Agriculture Minister Roger Clarke

There is no vic­to­ry in death, it would be repro­bate of me to use the death of some­one to Score polit­i­cal points. However, I believe it is per­fect­ly prop­er to use some­one’s death to Underscore a crit­i­cal failure.

For rea­sons above my pay-grade, Jamaicans have elect­ed to give the People’s National Party the Lion’s share of han­dling their affairs since 1962 when the Nation gained independence.

Over the last 40 years the Jamaica Labor Party has held office only 12 years of those four decades. The PNP has most­ly formed the Government, With one con­tin­u­ous stretch of 1812 years.

Starting with Michael Manley’s pseu­do Democratic Socialism in 1972 Jamaica, has been bat­tered and bruised by every met­ric, with only a dozen years of respite in between the tumul­tuous bouts of People’s National Party incom­pe­tence and graft.

PNP lead­er­ship has brought the once pearl of the Caribbean total and com­pre­hen­sive ruina­tion . Starting 1972’s to present. Massive brain-drain. Capital flight. Runaway infla­tion A dec­i­mat­ed busi­ness sec­tor. Poverty untold. Worthless cur­ren­cy. Astronomically high crime rate. Broken down and or nonex­is­tent infra­struc­ture. Moral decay. Sell-off, of our National trea­sures. Decadence. Immorality and a total over­all decay. Some Jamaicans still trum­pet our Nation’s supe­ri­or­i­ty in the Caribbean, I do not share in that fantasy.

Roger Clarke
Roger Clarke

Roger Clarke spent most of his adult life in pol­i­tics as part of the PNP. Clarke recent­ly passed away of an appar­ent heart attack, suf­fered at a Florida Airport. Clarke, 74, had been at the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida since mid-July where he had under­gone surgery for a back prob­lem and was return­ing to Jamaica when he died at the airport.

Roger Clarke was a Minister of Government . A mem­ber of the Governing People’s National Party, which has dom­i­nat­ed the Political land­scape over the last 4 decades. Yet when Clarke need­ed back surgery for what is char­ac­ter­ized as a pinched nerve, he head­ed to Florida.

If this does not awak­en the sen­si­tiv­i­ties of Jamaicans, what will ? If an esteemed mem­ber of the Political Oligarchy can­not source elec­tive surgery in his own coun­try, what does it say about the lead­er­ship of his par­ty? We pray for the fam­i­ly of Roger Clarke at this time of bereave­ment. We are all Jamaicans, we should find no solace in the demise of oth­ers. Death is in the cards for all of us. In the end we are nei­ther PNP nor JLP we are people.

Simpson Miller and others grieve Clarke's passing
Simpson Miller and oth­ers grieve Clarke’s passing

Let’s hope Jamaicans will see this as a rea­son to demand a greater degree of account­abil­i­ty from those whom they entrust to admin­is­ter to their affairs. We can­not con­tin­ue to low­er the bar to accom­mo­date and ratio­nal­ize away the sys­tem­at­ic and con­tin­ued fail­ures and incom­pe­tence of our lead­ers. It is all up to us to decide the lead­er­ship we get.

What’s Worse Than Putin

What’s Worse Than Vladimir Putin?
Thanks to the sanc­tions, the West could be about to find out.
By EUGENE RUMER

All of this may seem far-fetched and a prod­uct of Russian para­noia, but truth is beside the point. If the idea of U.S.-backed régime change in Russia becomes an arti­cle of faith in Moscow, the neg­a­tive reac­tion could last far longer than Putin’s régime, with dire long-term con­se­quences for rela­tions between the West and Russia. If Washington and Brussels con­tin­ue to raise the stakes with new sanc­tions, they could by them­selves esca­late the cri­sis far beyond Ukraine.

Good Luck Commissioner Williams

The Police Service Commission select­ed Dr Carl Williams the Nations’s new Police Commissioner. We wish the new Commissioner much suc­cess. Having exit­ed the JCF after only a few years ser­vice I have nev­er met the new chief. I under­stand Williams joined the Department in 1984 , I joined two years pri­or, though we served togeth­er I nev­er met him. The 50 year old Williams hav­ing spent 30 years in the Department was appro­pri­ate­ly reward­ed with the top spot.

Amid the noise sur­round­ing the selec­tion process, many argued that the Commission should look over­seas for a new com­mis­sion­er. I voiced my dis­ap­proval then. I believe the Commission act­ed in good faith in select­ing Carl Williams the tiny nation’s 28 police com­mis­sion­er. It would have been a trav­es­ty to pick some­one from over­seas while the depart­ment have these supreme­ly edu­cat­ed and com­pe­tent lead­ers to move the depart­ment forward.

Williams holds a PhD in crim­i­nal jus­tice. He is the found­ing direc­tor of the (Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency) and is the brain respon­si­ble for devel­op­ing the Anti-Lottery Scam Task Force. He led Jamaica’s anti-nar­cotics cam­paign from 2000 to 2004 which saw major play­ers con­vict­ed and some even extra­dit­ed for their crimes.

The new Commissioner comes to the top spot at a time when the Police con­tin­ue to be a con­tentious issue. Despite the cre­ation and imple­men­ta­tion of the new Agency (INDECOM the image of the agency con­tin­ue to evoke neg­a­tive reviews.

The chal­lenge for Williams is how to man­age those con­cerns in an ever chang­ing envi­ron­ment with­out alien­at­ing the men and women under his com­mand. He must find a way to man­age crime as a busi­ness, giv­ing cit­i­zens what they pay for, while keep­ing the peo­ple under his com­mand moti­vat­ed. No easy task in a coun­try which does not hon­or the rule of law.

For years the Elitist men­tal­i­ty in the Island Nation was that the police were inef­fec­tive because top down they were unin­tel­li­gent morons. Owen Ellington was edu­cat­ed , Carl Williams is superbly edu­cat­ed. The depart­ment has more mem­bers with under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate degrees per capi­ta, than most depart­ments around the world. Lets now get to the task of seri­ous­ly erad­i­cat­ing crime.

Ted Cruz Booed, Walks Off Stage

Cruz said the crowd showed 'a shameful display of bigotry and hatred.' | John Shinkle/POLITICO Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/09/ted-cruz-booed-israel-comments-110848.html#ixzz3D2AtLQ8D
Cruz said the crowd showed ‘a shame­ful dis­play of big­otry and hatred.’ 

Sen. Ted Cruz walked off the stage and left an event host­ed by a Christian orga­ni­za­tion mid-speech after being booed on Wednesday night fol­low­ing com­ments prais­ing Israel. The Texas Republican sen­a­tor and tea par­ty icon was a keynote speak­er at a Washington sum­mit host­ed by In Defense of Christians, a group that focus­es on per­se­cut­ed Christian and minor­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties in the Middle East.

According to sev­er­al reports and a video tak­en by EWTN News Nightly and obtained The Daily Caller, Cruz upset many in the crowd by offer­ing strong sup­port for Israel, say­ing at one point: “Christians have no greater ally than Israel” — a com­ment that drew boos.

(QUIZ: Do you know Ted Cruz?)

In a sub­se­quent state­ment to Breitbart News, Cruz said the crowd showed “a shame­ful dis­play of big­otry and hatred.”

The video appears to catch the moments just before Cruz left the stage.

I will say this: I’m sad­dened to see that some here, not every­one, are so con­sumed with hate,” he said at the out­set of the video, his com­ments prompt­ing con­tin­ued boo­ing and yelling out from some mem­bers of the crowd. “I will say this: If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you, and God bless you,” he said, walk­ing off stage to scat­tered applause and boos.

Cruz told Breitbart that he intend­ed to show how the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, as well as oth­er ter­ror­ist groups, threat­ened both Jews and Christians in the region.

I told the atten­dees that those who hate Israel also hate America,” he said. “That those who hate Jews also hate Christians. And that any­one who hates Israel and the Jewish peo­ple is not fol­low­ing the teach­ings of Christ. These state­ments were met with angry boos.”

Anti-Semitism is a cor­ro­sive evil, and it reared its ugly head tonight,” he added later.

In a state­ment released Wednesday evening, IDC President Toufic Baaklini blamed a select “few polit­i­cal­ly moti­vat­ed oppor­tunists” for the incident.

[A] few polit­i­cal­ly moti­vat­ed oppor­tunists chose to divide a room that for more than 48 hours sought uni­ty in oppos­ing the shared threat of geno­cide,” he said in the state­ment.

Tonight’s injec­tion of pol­i­tics when the focus should have been on uni­ty and faith, momen­tar­i­ly played into the hands of a few who do not adhere to IDC’s prin­ci­ples,” Baaklini lat­er added. “They were made no longer wel­come.”http://​www​.politi​co​.com/​s​t​o​r​y​/​2​0​1​4​/​0​9​/​t​e​d​-​c​r​u​z​-​b​o​o​e​d​-​i​s​r​a​e​l​-​c​o​m​m​e​n​t​s​-​1​1​0​8​4​8​.​h​t​m​l​#​i​x​z​z​3​D​2​A​I​t​ugT

Mike Tyson Flips Out On Canadian TV: “Fuck You, You’re A Piece Of Shit”

Mike Tyson, a con­vict­ed rapist, was asked whether Rob Ford’s can­di­da­cy for re-elec­tion as Toronto may­or might be affect­ed by hang­ing out with a con­vict­ed rapist (Tyson). Mike Tyson then flipped out and cursed a lot on live TV.

After the out­burst, you can sort of see Mike lev­el out, like he real­ized that he prob­a­bly should­n’t have said all those curse words, but no! When the host throws it back to Tyson, he just calls the host a piece of shit some more.

Russia Warns US Against Strikes On Islamic State In Syria

Russia has warned that US air strikes against mil­i­tants in Syria would be a “gross vio­la­tion” of inter­na­tion­al law. A Russian for­eign min­istry spokesman said any such action, with­out the back­ing of the UN, would be “an act of aggres­sion”. It comes as US Secretary of State John Kerry meets Arab lead­ers in Saudi Arabia to try to build a coali­tion against Islamic State (IS) mil­i­tants. President Obama has threat­ened action against IS in Syria as well as Iraq. IS con­trols large parts of Syria and Iraq after a rapid mil­i­tary advance. In a speech out­lin­ing his strat­e­gy, Mr Obama said any group that threat­ened America would “find no safe haven”. He also announced that 475 US mil­i­tary per­son­nel would be sent to Iraq but said they would not have a com­bat role.

But the state­ment brought a strong reac­tion from Russia, which has been an ally of embat­tled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The US pres­i­dent has spo­ken direct­ly about the pos­si­bil­i­ty of strikes by the US armed forces against Isil (IS) posi­tions in Syria with­out the con­sent of the legit­i­mate gov­ern­ment,” min­istry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich was quot­ed as say­ing. “This step, in the absence of a UN Security Council deci­sion, would be an act of aggres­sion, a gross vio­la­tion of inter­na­tion­al law.”

Syria also repeat­ed its warn­ing that the US had to co-ordi­nate with the Syrian gov­ern­ment before launch­ing air strikes on its ter­ri­to­ry. “Any action of any kind with­out the con­sent of the Syrian gov­ern­ment would be an attack on Syria,” National Reconciliation Minister Ali Haidar said on Thursday. Last month Syria offered to help the US fight Islamic State, how­ev­er the US ruled that out. The US has launched more than 150 air strikes against the group in Iraq and has pro­vid­ed arms to Iraqi and Kurdish forces fight­ing against IS. The jihadist group has become noto­ri­ous for its bru­tal­i­ty, record­ing their behead­ings of ene­my sol­diers and Western journalists.

Mr Kerry, who arrived in the Red Sea port of Jeddah on Thursday, will th (6)hold talks with rep­re­sen­ta­tives of Saudi Arabia and oth­er oil-rich Gulf states as well as Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Nato mem­ber Turkey. Reports say that among the issues to be dis­cussed are train­ing for Syrian rebels on Saudi soil and broad­er per­mis­sion from region­al states to use their air­space in order to increase the capac­i­ty of US aircraft.

President Obama’s anti-IS strategy

  • A sys­tem­at­ic cam­paign of airstrikes against IS tar­gets “wher­ev­er they are”, includ­ing in Syria
  • Increased sup­port for allied ground forces fight­ing against IS — but not President Assad of Syria
  • More counter-ter­ror­ism efforts to cut off the group’s fund­ing and help stem the flow of fight­ers into the Middle East
  • Continuing human­i­tar­i­an assis­tance to civil­ians affect­ed by the IS advance

In a 15-minute speech shown at peak time in the US on Wednesday, President Obama vowed that America would lead “a broad coali­tion to roll back” ISIS.

Working with the Iraqi gov­ern­ment, we will expand our efforts beyond pro­tect­ing our own peo­ple and human­i­tar­i­an mis­sions, so that we’re hit­ting Isil tar­gets as Iraqi forces go on the offense,” he said. President Obama was elect­ed in part because of fer­vent oppo­si­tion to the 2003 inva­sion of Iraq, and presided over the US troop pull­out from the country.

For the first time, Islamic State tar­gets on the ground in Syria will be in the crosshairs of American pilots. The pres­i­dent told the American peo­ple: “I have made it clear that we will hunt down ter­ror­ists who threat­en our coun­try, wher­ev­er they are.” But he was equal­ly emphat­ic that the com­bat on the ground would hap­pen with­out US troops. Instead the US will ramp up its mil­i­tary assis­tance to the Syrian oppo­si­tion. But the pres­i­dent was also at pains to express what this was­n’t. “We will not get dragged into anoth­er ground war,” he insist­ed. He

said that America would lead a broad coali­tion to roll back this ter­ror­ist threat and would not be act­ing alone. There were two cau­tion­ary notes — the first on timescale and also that this would not be risk-free to American ser­vice­men and women. Action is going to start: who knows when it will be mis­sion accomplished.

Last year, President Obama aban­doned plans to launch airstrikes in Syria against gov­ern­ment forces after con­gres­sion­al oppo­si­tion. In his speech, he ruled out work­ing with President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, despite the fact that his forces are also engaged in fight­ing IS. Instead, he said, the US would seek to strength­en the non-IS Syrian oppo­si­tion, which fights against both IS and President Assad. Syria’s Western-backed National Coalition wel­comed Mr Obama’s plan, and urged Congress to approve it. However, the BBC’s Jim Muir in north­ern Iraq says the Syrian oppo­si­tion is frag­ment­ed and dom­i­nat­ed by Islamists, who may be opposed to IS but are seek­ing Islamic rule rather than democracy.
