JENSEN LA VENDE

The moth­er of Ja­mal Charles, the po­lice of­fi­cer killed while on du­ty at a Min­istry of Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment guard booth on Thurs­day, says her son want­ed to be a “good po­lice.”

“He told me when he joined the po­lice force, he said, ‘Mom­my, I’m a po­lice of­fi­cer, and I’m go­ing to be a good po­lice of­fi­cer.’ I said, ‘Yes, be a good po­lice of­fi­cer.’ So, he told me, ‘Mom­my, I’m go­ing to be a good po­lice of­fi­cer,’ and the po­lice killed him,” Mar­garet Charles said yes­ter­day.
