Law and Disorder....Criminal Minds
So the police killed seven people last night and I have to say that in six of those cases I am
not sorry at all. In my books, only one of those people was an innocent. Wendy Courtney was killed by a stray bullet as she tried to close her window to protect herself. (Please note: A window is hardly likely to stop a bullet. The best thing to do is get as far away from the window that you can.) Still, it was sad that she had to die because some stupid fellas decided that they wanted to follow the wrong path. Of course the families of those killed are not likely to admit that their loved ones were on the wrong path. According to the mother of one of the men shot, a 17-year-old boy to boot:
"My son was working to buy his school-books and was waiting for his CXC results, he was a hard-working boy."Hear more:
Friends of Blake and Lewis, who wished to remain anonymous, also angrily expressed their feelings saying "the police willfully kill the men, they had no gun on them, nothing to deserve what they get."So all the men that police shot yesterday were innocent. Police just decided that these random men, going about their random business needed to be killed yesterday. Police said "You know what, we have too much bullets today. Let's go open fire on some innocent men and kill them, then say that they shot at us first."
It's amazing. If we go with what the families of men who are killed or arrested by police, there are no criminals in Trinidad and Tobago.
I think the families of these people who know that their relatives are involved in shady activities and say that they are innocent, while they reap the benefits of their nefarious deeds are just as much criminal as the ones they try to protect.
In my book if the police had to shoot at you then you were up to SOMETHING and it couldn't be good.

Sometimes I am doubtful as to the absolute veracity of the stories from the police. Not that there is more truth when these 'bandits' are shot and tell their side... but on the whole, I reserve judgement on the police with a shovelful of salt.
Sorry to say, but it's like that in so many places across the world. Sounds all to familiar (I'm Jamaican), the deceased are never wrong doers and always saints. Nevertheless, I still grieve for the people who have lost their loved ones. Death, no matter what the circumstance is a tough thing to deal with.

It seems that the truth always put these duncey police in a bad light.
Hmm.. It really seems like there is more in the mortar than the pestle in this one.
I don't disagree that parents can be blind to their kids' mistakes, but let's not pretend the police are somehow flawless. Here in NY, we've had plenty of examples of the cops shooting people who were entirely innocent, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The "if they shot you, you were obviously bad" logic is often completely wrong.
Yeah, I think I might have to review my theory on this. Is just that I fed up of the damn criminals, but what you say is true.
