No, it was not. Emphasis on "GOOD cops." INDECOM is very professional and cooperates well with the JCF.

I want to argue that our attitude towards indecom, JFJ, body worn cameras, Jamaica Eye, and red light and speed cameras come from the same place.
As a nation, we do not like anything that can hold us accountable.
We know the solution is not brute force, but it is convenient to pretend.

Oh I didn’t know he was a policeman. INDECOM is a government agency and so far as I know they cooperate very well with the police. Human rights groups have their own mandate but it is not true that they “defend gunmen.” Every human being has rights, no?!

I watched the CCTV footage of this shooting and it made my blood run cold. She was in a van. They fired into the van, then hauled her out. A pickup truck pulled up, 2 officers slung her in the back. Police have killed 130 people this year.

The Jamaican police have killed 230 people in 2025 - four in the past 48 hours and 20 this month. In one recent case, CCTV footage was posted online. Jamaicans for Justice, the Public Defender and others urge mandatory use of body-worn cameras. The police are expecting a delivery "in coming weeks."
Police killings in Jamaica are soaring this year, all without body-worn cameras
I heard the news report this evening that the Jamaican police have (allegedly) shot dead four men in the space of 48 hours, which the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) is investigating. Earlier this week, they killed an allegedly mentally ill man (not for the first time). Don't they know how to disarm or disable someone like that? Do they get any training in martial arts?

He's a policeman, so it won't be a fully objective view. However, the optics of INDECOM and those who defend the gunmen while ignoring what they did aren't very popular with most Jamaicans.
