Written by Juboy – Original 2wenteez Media Article (Never Posted Anywhere Before)


“Yow, Yuh See Di Video?”

Mi know everybody phone light up Thursday afternoon wid one same clip — Portmore mash up, Grange Lane hot again! One dramatic video a circulate all bout di internet weh show di very moment a police-involved shooting lef one man dead inna di middle a di road.
From di look a tings, di vibes tense like payday pon empty pocket. But di big question weh everybody a ask — wah really gwaan pon di boulevard?


Di Pain Point – Why Jamaica Always Deh Pon Edge Wid Police Shooting

Jamaicans love dem country, but di tension ‘tween police an di street never easy. People tired fi si video weh look questionable — some man seh “police overdo it,” while odda man seh “dem man deh deserve it.”
But di truth more complex. Inna places like St. Catherine, violence run deep, gang war long, and every raid come wid danger like landmine. So when shot buss, everybody haffi duck — police, citizen, even di truth.


Why Dis Keep Happen – Di Real Root Underneath

Whole heap a man nuh trust police. Same time, police nuh trust nobody weh look suspicious. It’s a circle weh keep spin — fear meet fear.
Portmore, Bog Walk, and Commodore a see too much blood lately. Di man dem weh police claim a part a Sunday mass shooting inna Commodore — five dead, four injured — still deh pon dem radar. Dis operation deh Thursday? Supposedly part a dat same manhunt.
So when di officers block off di car pon Grange Lane, everybody know seh drama did bound fi pop off.


What Really Gwaan – Breakdown a Di Footage

Inna di video, police surround one vehicle right deh pon di boulevard. Man weh a record seh, “Yow, di police dem just kill dis yah man yah inna di car dawg… lone gunshot to skin. Mi a wonder why dem kill him.”
Few second after, bare loud shot buss again. You can see one police appear fi a aim inna di car, while odda officers move round like dem under pressure.
Di video-man ask again, “A weh him duh?” before more gunshot echo through di background.


Social Media Reaction – Mixture a Anger an Applause

Online reaction divide like Jamaica politics.
One commenter drop: “Save yuh sympathy, a dem same youth deh kill di people dem a Commodore.”
Another fire back: “Police cyaah be judge, jury, an executioner — Jamaica need accountability!”
Truth is, both side have point. But until we see di full investigation, every opinion a half a story.


Police Version – Di Official Word

Law enforcement later confirm seh di shooting link to one intelligence-led operation weh spread across di parish. Dem seh two odda men get shot and dead same day during a raid inna Jewels Estate, Bog Walk. Police also claim dem recover one M16 rifle pon di scene.
So di message clear from dem — dis a continuation of di crackdown pon di same group weh involved inna di Commodore mass shooting.


Misconception – Nuh Every Man Police Shoot Innocent, But Nuh Every Police Action Justified

People love fi jump online and pick side, but dis nuh movie. Jamaica need balance — justice fi innocent, yes, but accountability fi every trigger finger too.
Some police quick fi defend “operation gone right,” while community member quick fi seh “murder.” Both wrong if dem ignore di facts.


Deep Dive – Expert Look pon Di Pattern

Security experts been a warn long time — crime war inna St. Catherine get tactical. Dem say police intelligence improve, but di gangs smarter too. Some even using rented cars, decoy moves, and inside link.
So every shootout come wid extra risk, especially when operation deh pon busy road like Grange Lane.


Case Study – Di Streets Talk (Before vs After)

Before: Residents a Portmore use fi complain seh police nah show presence — criminals did a rule certain corner.
After: Now when di police get aggressive, people a bawl seh dem too hard.
It show di real struggle Jamaica face — how fi balance safety wid human rights.


Mistakes Jamaica Keep Mek

  1. Jump to Conclusion: People trust video before investigation.

  2. Silence Witness: Everybody see but nobody talk.

  3. Forget Victim Family: Dem still haffi live wid trauma.

  4. No Follow-Up: After one week, everybody move on.


Alternative View – What Coulda Done Better

Mi nah lie, police have hard job. But transparency is key. Every operation like dis need quick, public update from JCF wid full breakdown — who dead, why, and evidence. Dat a how trust build.
Bodycam footage fi mandatory. When camera roll, truth cyaah hide.


Action Plan – Fi Police, Citizen, an Media

  1. Police: Always release clear post-incident report.

  2. Citizen: Stop spread half-story video — share responsibly.

  3. Media: Give context, nuh just views.

  4. Government: Fund proper community policing, not just response squad.


Conclusion / Encouragement – “We All Deserve Fi Live Safe”

Jamaica cyaah progress if people fraid fi both gunman an lawman. We need balance — justice, protection, an truth. Portmore incident remind wi seh di line thin between order an chaos.
So whether yuh deh pon di side a di badge or di thugs, memba dis say — when trust dead, nation bleed.
