Where is the outrage?

CARTERWOOD, Trelawny — Minister of religion Lisean Gordon has criticised what she described as the public’s readiness to demand justice when police officers use force, but silence following the killing of two members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) last Friday.

Preaching under the theme ‘Let the Children Know’ during a Heritage Week Thanksgiving Service at the Greater Highway Church of Christ Apostolic in Caterwood, Trelawny, on Sunday, Gordon said the lack of comparable demonstrations demanding justice for the slain cops reflects a troubling imbalance.

“They may be somebody’s father, somebody’s son. Nobody came out because we have placed in the heart of ungodly people that we are allowing them to take over this country, all in the name of politics,” said Gordon as she addressed the service hosted by the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) in Trelawny and the Trelawny Municipal Corporation.
