Jamaica is coming to nothing with all of the senseless killings caused by the government officials and the gunman. Then they make up these false stories to cover up there track, first of all Neil Gordon did not attack anyone with any bottle he was murdered at his home by a police because he was smoking marijuana, the police official saw him and grabbed up his shirt and he grabbed back the official shirt then the official took the gun out and shot him right in the chest. There is no justice in Jamaica there needs to be a stop to all of this police brutality, but if they think that nothing is going to come out of this, they must be crazy. It is a shame that someone has to be killed on Christmas day for nothing by the ones who are there to protect the people.
