Still can’t come to terms with how police shot and killed the young man in what appears to be a direct and deliberate attack. Will the officer/s be held accountable?
Good thing that young man made a video giving his account of what happened because prior to that none of the news reports mentioned police involvement and up to now we can’t get the name of the officer who was involved in the shooting. This is completely unacceptable.
The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police solve crime.
A young life take, could’ve been two! A family left shattered while neighbors are left scatttered! This is what you call a highly dangerous move by law enforcement officers
Wowww wow that is carelessness on the part of the police. But while I appreciate you telling me what the police did, did was the young man in possession of a firearm?
I understand the firearm that he had was an imitation one. It wasn’t even real. Playing devils advocate here…let us just say that the police felt threatened…why fire kill shots? Secondly why didnt they give him a chance to surrender? The country tense and police are always on edge. Im not saying that this dude shouldn’t have been pursued for whatever domestic issue he was having but not to kill him like that.
Just another one of our young men killed and will be buried and forgotten. But you know who will always remember ? That mother who gave birth to thay child. Let me ask you officer…would you have treated your son this way? Mr commissioner. How long are you going to allow your officers to continue without any accountability? I believe you were appointed for a reason. You claim you are a man of God mr commissioner. You preach the world. Now put the word in practice. The same God you talk about is one of justice. Don’t just sit there. Do something. Be that change we are hoping to see. This cannot continue sir. Too many lives. Too many families are hurting. Please dont let this wash away like the blood of so many others.
Dem have new station and full AC dem nuh want fuh do good work. Ton of people in that area fraid police cause dem behave like gangsters over deh. ask anybody! but den people only talk when it hits close to home.
What is the AG saying about this matter? The PM needs to say something to his countrymen who loves so much. What about that diver they killed who was unarmed and shot in the back? Nobody seeing what’s happening?
These are the matters that require boots to hit pavement. Not social security…these life matters. Where is Shugy to protect and picket for change? Throw down your shorts and pick up your placard. Let your people see you are not standing for this shit
