THATS NOT WHAT HAPPEN AND JAMAICA LAW ENFORCEMENT IS GOING TO CONTINUE THERE KILLING UNLESS THE NEWS STOP PUBLISHING LIES AND COVER UPS FOR THEM
Jamaica is corrupted and I pray to God that a earthquake come through that place and tear it up, get rid of all the evil. The young man was walk through the field trying to catch up with friends after reporting to the police station. the officers called out to him and he turned around raised his hand and they open fire killing him and then place the gun on him in plan view of the witness, then they removed his body.
these police have to be stopped there lies and cover ups need to be fully jnvestigated they are corrupt and being paid to kill in a turf war the corruption at seaview police station in well known and goverment need to interven before more young men loose their lives

If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again… R.I.P SHAMARI MCKENZIE
This one broke me down to the core. It’s always a lie and it doesn’t take a deaf or blind man to realise that all these news reports have the same storyline. That’s my lil’ brother right there and to think of him having to die like that, it’s unbearable. He’s one of many I know who’ve died the same way, but in Jamaica, if your poor and from the ghetto, especially as a young man, you’re better off never been born.
All dutty liyad police from Hunt’s Bay to Seaview do is go roun’ an kill people innocent pickney n tell lie on dem. What kinda system deh a Ja? Bruce Golding!!! MI TIYAD A IT NOW!!!! I know Shamari personally, not no hi n bye thing, we used to live in the same house, eat out the same pot…..suh I know what I’m talking about, and I know of whom I speak.
R.I.P mi bredda!!!!! They can kill the flesh but they cyaah kill the spirit.
