What It Got Is Worse

So-called Independence Day.
Going to Central because a nervous mother
calling every minute on the minute wanted
to insure her son was returned to the lock-up
at Port Royal.

Port Royal lock-up is among the better hell-holes.

So I went to Central.
One door was locked 'for security', and I came in
the other to confront what I'd called the underbelly
of a snake.

The JCF ranks way down; maybe the Ton Ton Macoute
or the North Korean Police Force is worse, but
it can't get much worse than the JCF.

The handful of useful intelligent police would be
off on a holiday, leaving the most useless idiots
available.

The Desk Sargeant at Reception needed me to stand
at a particular point. It was impossible for her
to deal with me unless I stood right at that point.

And this is a Sargeant of Police.

I then went to Flying Squad, which did boast officers
of triple digit I.Q.s.

They weren't there, and some moronic rejects sat
quivering as if something might happen.

They were as useful as an ipod for a dead man.

At the lock up the double digits needed
Identification from me.
Apparently those at the Bar Ass have these I.D.s
which a lawyer has to present, and I don't have one.

However, after about fifteen minutes it was proven
the accused had been returned to Port Royal.

Thirty years ago, when I first confronted Police
they were on par with High School Graduates.
Graduates of real schools, or those who could
read and write and reason within a narrow band.

Today, they are on par with those from lesser known
primary schools and should not be allowed any weapon
more powerful than a pea shooter.

I can deal with them because I can deal with feral
animals. But a normal person who isn't accustomed
to feral animals, who makes the mistake and thinks
that Jamaican Police are (in the widest definition)
human, may find him/herself with little pieces of
lead in their body.

It is here, with the JCF one comprehends what the
Poll meant.

The people like the State of Emergency because they
were confronted by soldiers, who apparently are far
more civilised than the police.

The people who supported the State of Emergency do
not support the police.

It is overtime to get rid of the JCF.

Firstly, create a number of specialised units
with highly trained and intelligent persons.

Secondly, begin moving the more repellent members
of the JCF to small footsoldier units under the
command of a responsible person.

Thirdly, create Parish forces so that each Parish
has it's own mini hierarchy, i.e. the Commissioner
for St. Ann.

Fourthly, with the various units which can be
deployed island wide, the rabid useless members
would not be on their own, constantly supervised
by those who trained differently and are not
'Squaddies'.

At this point the JCF would, in essence cease to
exist, and the ability to close down a particularly
offensive batch of police would be efficacious.

If you have to deal with Police, think of them of
psychotic wildebeests. And you might survive.
