When politicians play politics with national security, these are the consequences of their actions. If there is a problem with a government agency, get in there and correct it. That is not what Andrew Holness did; he bad-mouthed the police and made them feel disrespected.
Even you are unaware of what can happen as a leader, you are by default empowering the transnational criminals that find a haven in Jamaica.
Now no one is safe.….…..Not even the Prime Minister, who recently pointed to the country’s dilemma as he referenced events in Haiti where the president of that neighboring nation was murdered in his home.
TRAINEE-CONSTABLE MURDERED
A police student constable was shot and killed in the Whithorn district of Westmoreland last night. Dead is student-constable Duvaughn Brown, a trainee at the National police college. Reports from the police are that at about 9:50 p.m, Brown went to a shop and was shot multiple times. He died on the spot.
Constable Brown’s killing is in line with the escalating murder rate in the Island Nation that has the nation once again finding itself as one of the murder capitals of the world.
The murderers in Jamaica know that they have the Government of the defense, so they are not worried about consequences.
For the country’s leadership that decided to badmouth the police before being forced to face the consequences, this is the consequence of their actions.
