Crime is entrenched in Jamaican politics

THE EDITOR, Sir:

SO WHEN Mr. Omar Davies needed help with curbing crime in Arnett Gardens he turned to Willy Haggart. It's nice to know that decent honourable citizens are willing to use their 'power' for the good of the community and the nation on a whole. However, should this not have been the powerful figure Mr. Davies and the PNP-made Minister of National Security and Justice?

We have a legitimate police force and our leaders instead turn to community dons to establish peace and justice? And we still don't know why criminals are running stark raving mad over our little island?

It's for this same reason that police take their frustration out on little boys in Braeton and just about everywhere else they can.

Crime is entrenched in our politics and in our system of government. And that, Mr. Davies, I say without apology.

I am etc.,

R.D. REID
