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.
