Because of the digital era (phones, cameras, social media), the PNPs lies cannot stand anymore. Gone are the days, when PNPs lied, lied, lied, lied, lied--and people believed! Listen to the LYING mayor.
During my visit to the Featherbed Lane housing development in Spanish Town, I received an update from the St. Catherine North Police Division on the progress being made to improve public safety in the area.
I was encouraged to hear that murders in St. Catherine North have decreased by 34.8%, with most major crimes also trending downward.
As someone who grew up in Spanish Town, it is encouraging to see new housing developments, including the 121-unit Featherbed Lane project, and renewed investment in the area.
I commend SSP Nicholson and the St. Catherine North Police Division for their commitment to keeping our communities safe.
🚨 Cop Punches Driver 6 Times in The Face
A Long Island motorist is suing the Suffolk Police Dept. after he was beaten in a traffic stop earlier this year, with his legal team releasing footage of the incident. "This was unnecessary, unreasonable use of force."
🚨 DRIVING WHILE BLACK: Cop climbs into car and beats Black driver for asking to speak to a supervisor.
Craig Manning says he was racially targeted during a traffic stop.
He made a LEGAL left turn, got pulled over, and asked to speak to a supervisor before handing over his license or exiting the vehicle.
Dashcam footage shows an officer climbing into his car and punching him several times in the face and head. He was charged with traffic violations and resisting arrest.
He’s now planning to sue Suffolk County Police and the officers.
His attorneys say it was because he’s Black and note he had the camera installed out of fear of “driving while Black.”
Another case of police using fists on a Black driver who simply wanted basic rights.
How many more Black men have to get beaten on camera before these cops face real consequences?
A video of a Dutch policeman throwing a heavily pregnant woman to the ground has caused outrage. The woman says police attacked her at a migration centre where authorities had detained her Palestinian husband.
I believe there must be a national conversation about pensions and social security in Jamaica, especially as it relates to how we care for our elderly.
In many of our communities, care for the elderly is being carried by families, neighbours, and kind individuals in very informal ways. This is part of a strong care culture we have built over time. But it is not always enough.
We also have to be honest that many elderly Jamaicans do not have pensions, and rely on children or relatives who themselves are often under financial pressure. This is why we must rethink retirement planning and strengthen formal savings and pension systems, so that dignity in old age is not uncertain.
