Could this have happened in Jamaica?

Jamaica have EMT ?

"Consider reality: over 25 people are slaughtered in three days, in a country which still accepts the principle that the police are appointed to protect and serve the people. And, from early indications at least some of the people killed - if not most - lost their lives at the hands of the security forces: what service! what protection! More than that, although the circumstances of the weekend slaughter are not entirely clear, there are strong indications that the security forces are at fault in some respects.

In the first place, thanks to TVJ, there is evidence that some members of the Crime Management Unit believe that indiscriminate firing of high-powered weaponry, without any targeting whatsoever, is a part of their management function. Never mind that people may be on the streets of West Kingston: if it lives, it may be killed, precisely the philosophy one would expect to find in a collapsing State.

Secondly, it is curious that the security forces took no steps to clear the roads of West Kingston, or to facilitate clearing, from Friday to Sunday. It cannot be that gunfire prevailed for 48 hours, and that, therefore, dead bodies had to remain open to the decomposing forces of nature, just so. Rather, the explanation that comes strongly to mind is that the decision to leave the dead bodies in situ was part of the process of dehumanisation. In a collapsing State, you may not only kill indiscriminately, you also leave dead bodies exposed to grind the victims and their loved ones into the ground; for, they are enemies worthy of no respect.

The results of this attempt at dehumanisation are horrendous. One of the victims of last weekend's massacre was a 39-year-old man, said to be of unsound mind. When he was finally taken from the streets, his face was beyond recognition. According to his sister, who spoke firmly on Nationwide, maggots had overtaken the man's body, and there were, it seems, only two points for recognition to the untrained eye, namely, (a) his clothes, and (b) the fact that he had a tall, middle toe. Life ends brutally, and pathetically, for those who live in the war zone in a collapsing State."

Still searching for any Law Suits pending...
