Independence
When did the Jamaica people
in the majority get independence (1962)? Dancing, gyrating and merrymaking
are not independence. We need to work harder and faster to secure real
independence. More than half of the population is denoted squatters what kind of
independence is that? Look how long Emancipation from slavery (1838) was
secured and now in 2015 we seem to be right there again and the trouble is that
we cannot escape and become independent if we don't all unite and realize what
is happening. When last you talk to Marcus Garvey or hear him speak? Verene
Sheppard talk to mi nuh…. the people need leadership and enlightenment to
improve the understanding of ourselves and stop exhibiting self-hate. Just look
at the heinous crimes against one another. When will we stop?04/08/15
MP Crawford
Crawford however misguided on many fronts has points of
view which are held by many and that
needs clarification. The arrest of more bad cops is not the only effect of the Independent
Commission of Investigation (INDECOM) but the prevention of bad cop behavior. It’s
like asking how many accidents have stop lights prevented. You cannot
see the accidents prevented but you can calculate based on prior knowledge of
accidents in that spot and the reduction presently over the same period. Has Mr
Crawford looked at the reduction in police killings since the establishment of
INDECOM. For him to say “either there are only a
few bad cops in Jamaica or INDECOM is incompetent, adding that performance
is being sacrificed for public relations” borders on intellectual dishonesty? INDECOM has claimed a major role for
the approximately 50 percent reductions in police-related killings in 2014 when
compared to 2013. 08/03/15
