Re: Commissioner of Police Hardley Lewin needing to take charge of his officers
Dear Editor,
THE GLEANER has reported that some 27 persons were shot in the month of July by policemen, and my gut feelings tell me it is more.
In any event, I watch and listen each night where without fail the story of the police and the story of the citizen never changes. The person killed is always innocent and no one knows him to be a gunman. The police, on the other hand, will never shoot an individual in cold blood. It is always that someone points a gun at them or there was a shoot-out and the person was shot and killed.
Never mind that the person is sometimes shot in the back or the back of the head. Never mind that there are multiple shots at close range. It seems both sides continue to treat the public as if we are imbeciles … more
