Police Rake In Record Amount Of Guns: Justice Minister Pay Tribute To Anti-police Group…

Jamaica Police report they confiscated 590 illegal weapons in eleven months . The latest incident being, five pistols found in a car at the Vineyard Toll Plaza in St Catherine.

I salute my long time friend and for­mer col­league Senior Superintendent Colin Pinnock for his con­tin­ued, relent­less and ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice to our country.
Colin Pinnock was a fine cor­po­ral and sergeant back in the day when he served at the Red Hills Police sta­tion and I served at Constant Spring.
It is no sur­prise to see Colin Pinnock still fea­tured in rid­ding the coun­try of dan­ger­ous weapons over two and a half decades after I stepped aside.
During our time we removed many ille­gal weapons from the streets and arrest­ed numer­ous criminals.
To date Colin Pinnock con­tin­ue to give exem­plary ser­vice to our country.
This medi­um wish­es to rec­og­nize him and oth­er good and decent offi­cers who con­tin­ue to serve our coun­try in a thank­less capac­i­ty with­out ran­cor or complaint.

According to the Jamaica Observer the Police report­ed that they have removed more than 7,000 rounds of ammu­ni­tion from the streets so far this year as well.
There can nev­er be an account­ing of how many lives are saved as a result of these seizures .
For their part the Jamaican police includ­ing Colin Pinnock , will nev­er be thanked for the work they do , for a pop­u­la­tion gross­ly une­d­u­cat­ed on this issue, and a polit­i­cal lead­er­ship hap­py to exploit that igno­rance, it is easy to miss the enor­mi­ty of these statistics.

Whats appalling is that while the police are risk­ing life and limb the Island’s piece of shit jus­tice min­is­ter Delroy Chuck a long­time police hater gives speech­es laud­ing the work of INDECOM.

Now let it be under­stood this is an indi­vid­ual who nev­er appre­ci­at­ed the work police do. He has nev­er missed an oppor­tu­ni­ty to stick it to police .
In his most recent faux pas he laud­ed the work of the agency tasked with over­see­ing alle­ga­tions of police misconduct.
Said Chuck ” The reduc­tion seen in fatal shoot­ings by the police must be applaud­ed, as last year police shoot­ing fell below the 100 mark for the first time in decades. “The pub­lic can have con­fi­dence in the pres­ence of an inde­pen­dent over­sight body, with suf­fi­cient teeth to dis­cour­age mis­be­hav­ior and human rights abuse by agents of the State.”

What he did not speak to is what the Commissioner of INDECOM anoth­er anti-police dem­a­gogue has­n’t ‚and can­not speak to, because if they did the peo­ple would demand an instant repeal of the INDECOM Act.
That is that the dras­tic reduc­tion in police fatal shoot­ings has zero to do with any­thing INDECOM has done pos­i­tive­ly, unless the objec­tive is to save the lives of dan­ger­ous murderers.
This writer does not for one moment believe that this is not exact­ly what Delroy Chuck wants.

For the rest of ordi­nary Jamaicans who do not have the ben­e­fit of liv­ing in gat­ed com­mu­ni­ties with coun­try club style ten­nis courts and swim­ming pools the specter of immi­nent death is nev­er far away.
These Jamaicans whom are forced to dial 119 and wait and wait and wait before help arrives , if ever , do not have police pro­tec­tors assigned to them.

In the United States the Attorney General heads the Justice Department . The Justice Department over­seas Agencies like the FBI and oth­ers the AG is the Nations high­est Law ‑enforce­ment offi­cer , not the Nations anti-police agitator.

According to the Jamaica Constabulary Force(JCF) Jamaica expe­ri­enced at least 1,192 slay­ings in 2015, a rough­ly 20 per­cent increase from the pre­vi­ous year. There were 1,005 killings in 2014.
Jamaica had about 45 slay­ings per 100,000 peo­ple in 2015, keep­ing it ranked among the most vio­lent coun­tries in the world. In recent years, the UN list­ed the island as hav­ing the world’s sixth-worst homi­cide rate. The World Bank ranked Jamaica in the top five in 2013.
By com­par­i­son, Chicago, which has rough­ly the same pop­u­la­tion as Jamaica at 2.7 mil­lion, had 468 killings in 2015.

This year the killings con­tin­ue on a mer­ry clip with no end in sight . Since tak­ing office the new admin­is­tra­tion has done noth­ing on crime wor­thy of note out­side of the following.
(1) The new­ly appoint­ed attor­ney General Marlene Malahoo Forte chid­ing the police like lit­tle kids, that abus­es would not be tol­er­at­ed by her in her St James con­stituen­cy . St James is the mur­der parish on the Island.
(2) The Minister of National Security telling police offi­cers to wear con­doms as too many of them are end­ing up in court in child sup­port cases.
(3) Delroy Chuck Justice Minister call­ing for a purge of the court dock­ets , which would toss out all cas­es includ­ing mur­der cas­es which has been in the sys­tem over (5) five years.
(4) Delroy Chuck call­ing for more pow­er in the hands of his friend and col­league Terrence Williams of INDECOM to ham­strung the Island’s law-enforce­ment efforts.
(5) Delroy Chuck laud­ing the work INDECOM is doing.

No one knows what the final mur­der fig­ures will be by years end . What is obvi­ous is that the Islands Justice min­is­ter does not care about that . What he cares about is that the cha­rade is maintained .
Said Chuck, “the estab­lish­ment of INDECOM was intend­ed to bring Jamaica in com­pli­ance with var­i­ous inter­na­tion­al legal stan­dards, which, togeth­er, con­sti­tute an inter­na­tion­al frame­work of fun­da­men­tal safe­guards to pro­tect against abuses”..

Oh sure who cares about these duty fut peo­ple being killed?  This char­la­tan has police escort.
I call on his police escort to walk away and leave him to his own devices, as ordi­nary Jamaicans are left to face the music.
The bub­ble of police pro­tec­tion they are giv­en has cre­at­ed a sense of invin­ci­bil­i­ty and elit­ism in these low lives . It has allowed them to ignore the Islands dete­ri­o­rat­ing crime sit­u­a­tion and most impor­tant­ly allowed them to dis­re­spect law-enforcement.
Its time for them to face the music with­out the police pro­tec­tion they take for granted.
