WEEKEND MUSINGS:

Respect is some­thing earned, you can­not demand it, you can­not buy it, you sim­ply have to earn it. Long before Reneto De. Cardova Adams emerged on the scene and labelled the group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) a Criminal Rights group I was writ­ing about them and call­ing them a crim­i­nal rights group. As a mat­ter of fact when I was run­ning the streets I nev­er heard of Adams, I was shocked to hear of Adams after I had left the force at the ripe old age of 30 in 1991, there I told you all my age. I was nev­er opposed to peo­ple stand­ing up for the rights of oth­ers, as a mat­ter of fact even as a cop I stood up for the rights of peo­ple , even against some of my col­leagues, when they went too far. I would nev­er betray a fel­low offi­cer, but I damn sure ensured that sit­u­a­tions were defused before they got too far.

Jamaicans for Justice head Carolyn Gomes.

Anyway the Jamaica Constabulary Force has start­ed to hit back at the crim­i­nal rights lob­by (JFJ) .

In a release the Constabulary had this to say to Gomes and the crim­i­nal rights group JFJ. “While we are in no posi­tion to dic­tate to human rights groups how they car­ry out their tasks. It would be refresh­ing at a time when vio­lence involv­ing our youths espe­cial­ly those in school is most pro­nounced, if they would move away from their obvi­ous man­date and use their influ­ence to encour­age these young­sters not to get involved in a life of crime and vio­lence,” the police report said adding that inves­ti­ga­tions by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) were wel­come with the hope that the find­ings are made pub­lic.Read more: http://​www​.jamaicaob​serv​er​.com/​n​e​w​s​/​P​o​l​i​c​e​-​d​e​n​y​-​c​l​a​i​m​s​-​o​f​-​d​e​a​t​h​-​t​h​r​e​a​t​s​-​a​g​a​i​n​s​t​-​S​t​-​T​h​o​m​a​s​-​b​o​y​s​#​i​x​z​z​2​X​0​D​m​8​6qu.

The police were react­ing to Gomes and the crim­i­nal sup­port­ing group who wast­ed no time mak­ing claims about threats on the lives of two crim­i­nals the police picked up inter­ro­gat­ed and released.

The CCN said that the boys are broth­ers of the for­mer leader of the Yallahs-based Trendsetter Gang, who was fatal­ly shot by the Police in October last year.

It’s good to see the police push­ing back against crim­i­nal sup­port­er Carolyn Gomes. This lying char­la­tan has made a car­rear out of lies dis­tor­tions and decep­tion, for our part we have been push­ing back at the lies expos­ing to the world who she real­ly is. We applaud the police for final­ly fight­ing back against this ene­my of the state.
