Great. Stand all you want but don’t be surprised if your entertainment revenue takes a sudden downturn.

dear Jamie -

below is a story about Jamaica and black everything - govt, police force, victims etc. please explain.

note: I love Jamaica, and lived there for years, so don’t be patronising and say it’s because of colonialism or racism, because it isn’t happening in the rest of the Caribbean, and Jamaicans are mosty wonderful people who don’t make such excuses.
on occasion, some Jamaicans have rioted over a killing - sometimes for the death of the guilty, maybe a benevolent drug don for instance, and sometimes over the death of a “plainly innocent” person. when they do, the vast majority of Jamaicans, including from all sides of politics, do everything they can to calm the situation.

AUDIO: 23 Jan 2020 NationwideRadio Jamaica: Jamaica Records Record Low Police Fatal Shootings In 2019 – INDECOM
Posted by Chevon Campbell
Last year Jamaica recorded the lowest number of fatal shootings by the security forces in 20 years.
That’s according to the latest statistics provided by the Independent Commission of Investigations, INDECOM, this afternoon...
However, according to INDECOM Commissioner, Terrence Williams, things are moving in the right direction with only 86 people being killed by the security forces in 2019...

According to INDECOM Statistics, before 2019, the previously lowest recorded figure for police killings for a year was 2014.
In that year one-hundred and one people were fatally shot by the security forces.
In 2018 alone, the country recorded 137 such fatal shootings with 2010 having the worst tally on record – 277...

Despite the positive development, INDECOM is still pointing out what it sees as a worrying trend of plainly innocent persons being shot by police.
He says over the last ***4 years, of the 322 people shot by police, ***88 or 27 per cent of them fell in the category of plainly innocent.
He says this behavior is not emulated by the JDF, which suggests better firearms discipline and training is needed for the police.

Commissioner Williams, says, the police are failing to comply with requests for informal identification parades of their members.
Mr. Williams says since the unfavorable 2018 Supreme Court ruling stating INDECOM does not have the power to arrest, the police have provided no help.
The INDECOM Commissioner says the JCF’s lack of assistance undermines accountability...
https://nationwideradiojm.com/jamaica-records-record-low-police-fatal-shootings-in-2019-indecom/

Jamaica pop 3m; US pop 330m 88 plainly innocent would be equivalent of US police killing 9,680 PLAINLY INNOCENT in 4 years, or 2,820 per year.

how does that compare, Jamie, with the big, bad United States’s figures for “plainly innocent” black Americans being killed by any colour police officers?

if you aren’t calling for calm; if you are heading off to the riots, you are part of the problem, not the solution. but I guess you know that, Jamie, and you don’t care.

btw Jamie. I don’t have a clue who you are.

Mob rule? Anti-white haters? Anarchist? Communist?

Jamie. A day late and a dollar short. The rioters don’t give a good crap about you being there and the business people who got looted and burned out don’t give a crap about you being there supporting the people who put them out of jobs.

Jamie: How about setting up a national “GoFundTheVictimsof the MinneapolisRiots” fund. The same for those in Louisville, DC, LA, NY City, Detroit, etc. Most of them are minority owners and workers.

Would be a better example of your concern for “your people” than just grandstanding your presence in the middle of the destruction caused, in part, by “your people”.
