Jamaican police awash in law and disorder. On Sunday, a police officer dressed in an all-black uniform, resembling a death squad member, shot and killed 45-year-old Latoya Bulgin.
The unprovoked killing is raising questions and concerns about police misconduct and accountability.
Ms. Bulgin was unarmed, sitting in her vehicle, and turning the steering wheel at about 5 MPH when the officer opened fire, prompting concerns about excessive use of force.
The cosplaying RoboCop who shot Ms. Bulgin was standing left of the center of the vehicle when he casually opened fire.
It was like an overdressed cop playing a video game on his Xbox.
After shooting Ms. Bulgin, he then slowly stepped to the left side of Ms. Bulgin’s, like a lunatic given weapons of war that he’s unaware of their deadly potential.
Ignorance isn’t bliss, and it surely is deadly.
The May 17 killing of Ms. Latoya Bulgin, also known as Buju, has
residents in the Montego Bay, St. James neighborhood of Granville calling for justice — that they will never get.
On CCTV and cellphone videos that captured the killing, it appears that a cosplaying cop may or might not have given Ms. Bulgin directions.
Jamaican law and disorder: Police shoot unarmed Latoya Bulgin. JCF dispenses the law of the jungle.
After the shooting, the police dragged the body of their victim from her vehicle by he arms and legs.
Then, in what can only be described as a 4th world country behavior, they threw her body into the open back of a pickup truck and drove off.
Wow!
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) reports that Ms. Bulgin threatened to kill the cop who killed her.
“Me vehicle naah seize today. Me rather run this over one of oonooh and kill oonuuh today,” she allegedly said before the cop killed her.
Ms. Bulgin, who some neighborhood residents have said was a witness to the killing of a 17-year-old boy last week near the same location where police killed her.
Ms. Bulgin went to the venue of death to join others protesting the Mother’s Day slaughter of seventeen-year-old Tajay Edwards.
Witnesses said Tajay Edwards had on a face mask similar to those worn by American ICE agents.
According to eyewitnesses, Edwards had just left a party in the wee hours of Sunday morning and was walking home with some friends.
Law and Disorder on Display.
An unidentified female companion of Edwards said police accosted them as they walked home.
Police ordered the unidentified female friend of Edwards to leave, or they would shoot her instead.
Police told her to, “Go home, gal, to your mammy. Go home to your mammy, or we’ll shoot you.”
Fearing for her life, she walked away but kept glancing back.
Suddenly, one of the cops in the pack pushed Tajay Edwards and then fired three bullets into Edwards’ chest.
The said cop, who allegedly shot Edwards, then pulled out a “throwdown” gun and fired five rounds from it in the air.
INDECOM has decided to conceal the names of the two cops who shot and killed Tajay Edwards and Latoya Bulgin.
Reviewing CCTV video of the shooting, it is unclear why the overly-armed and AI-looking dressed cop shot and killed the woman.
The “Independent Commission of Investigations” (INDECOM) hasn’t released any information as to whether they tested the shooter for any drugs, alcohol, or PCP.
The unnecessary killing of Ms. Bulgin has sparked alarm, which caused Parliamentary Member Marlene Malahoo-Forte to rush to the scene to calm her constituents.
According to Parliament Member Malahoo-Forte, who is a lawyer, “The investigation will be greatly assisted by CCTV cameras.”
Attempting to address concerns about excessive use of force in Ms. Bulgin’s death, “It doesn’t look good at all,” Malahoo-Forte said.
The number of Jamaicans is growing fast who believe that when it comes to policing and killing, those who aren’t wealthy continue to die as expendables.
Relatives of Ms. Bulgin and the mother of two have not released a date for her burial.
Without accountability, Police law and disorder will be the order of the day.
