NO GAY RAGE - Homosexuals Are Not Targeted For Violent Crime, Say Experts
Cops allegedly shaking down homosexuals case again
Now the goodly Commish as carried in the Observer today reportedly:
POLICE Commissioner Owen Ellington says he has no personal view on the gay lifestyle and has no bias against any gay person.
"I see people, not gay people. My duty is to serve people. I have no bias towards or against any gay person," Ellington said in an interview in which he commented on a range of popular issues.
The full report of the interview will be published tomorrow in the Jamaica Observer.
Asked his views on the campaign for decriminalisation of ganja, the top cop said that, in his position, he would have to wait and see what policies were adopted by the Government and so could not express an opinion one way or another at this time.
Leader of Government Business in the House, Phillip Paulwell has just signalled that Jamaica would decriminalise ganja for medicinal purposes, possibly by June this year.
But Ellington had strong views on suggestions that the police and the military be merged in the hope of achieving a stronger crime-fighting force.
"The police and the military have separate missions, purpose and roles and should be kept as separate entities within the national security architecture," he said.
"It is quite okay for the military to support the police in law enforcement, especially in an environment of high crime and gun violence. This type of support is quite normal in military operations other than war," the commissioner said.
He also believed that every citizen should take a healthy interest in politics, adding: "It means informing one's self, engaging in responsible discussions with responsible others and voting on issues."

See what you make of it but the Commish can say anything it's whole 'nother ball game how those under his charge think and operate despite hundreds of hours of training by human rights groups such as Amnesty (the local chapter) with the likes of Carla Gullota we still hear of infractions JFLAG reportedly said they are pleased with the relationship with the police in terms of reports by victims of crisis and especially with the quiet regarding the aforementioned homeless MSM issue in New Kingston for now but as the numbers grow, persons move to other areas nearby, in-fighting in the group I am not so optimistic; we have seen the cooling off before only for it to flare up once again.
There are still reports (unverified in most instances) of unnecessary searches and profiling of LGBT persons on their way from events or targeting of a few events under the guise of the Noise Abatement Act or subtle requests for "a ting" in order to avoid any prosecution or action such as shutting down the event or seizing the equipment.

Gay cops dare not come out in the open as we saw with an officer some years ago and how he had to flee both the force and then Jamaica, the squaddy mentality is as real as air.
When the full report becomes available it will be linked here.
Peace and tolerance
