Online Petition Launched For Deejaying Cop
A police officer who was recently captured on video participating in a musical clash with a civilian at a community fundraising event for a Digicel Rising Stars contestant has landed himself in a bit of hot water.
The officer is now facing a probe by the Police High Command.
Many Jamaicans since learning of the officer’s plight have used various social media platforms to voice their disgust with the decision to subject the officer to a probe.
An online petition requesting leniency for the deejaying cop has now been created.
The petition, launched by Dennis Meadows, states:
The cop, who was seen in his uniform belting out dancehall lyrics much to the delight of the patrons, has been hauled up by his superiors who have expressed concern about his behaviour. It is confirmed that the event was a community effort to raise money for one of the Digicel Rising Stars, a fundraising effort often pursued by contestants in their respective communities.
His impromptu performance and lyrical prowess was effective in raising money for the Digicel contestant as patrons, including children, were seen throwing money in support.
We believe that Con. Black of the Whitehouse police station, Westmoreland, epitomizes the essence of good community policing in adding a human touch to his work. Further, we are befuddled by the news that he now faces disciplinary action, at a time, when the police is perceived as anti-citizens, and community policing should be the thrust of the JCF’s efforts to bridge the gap in goodwill between the police and the citizenry..
We hereby asked that you sign this petition in urging the Commissioner of Police, Dr. Carl Williams, to exercise leniency in any possible disciplinary action, and recommend that Con. Black be formally engage in the force’s community policing efforts.

Anytime someone trying to do something good unno try to bury them leave the police alone
Leave di man alone!!! Everyone enjoyed themselves with the police for a change. Would they be trying to fire him if him did shoot people? He should just quit and go try do music. The police dont want good interactions between police and the community.
Then them a talk about community policing. He is a great cop and doing what other police should be doing hence we would have had less crime
Leave the man alone and go look for corrupted cops, better u have fun with we more than to a kill we off
Low the officer,should he be violent against the citizens
The man said it was not a free show…..they are donating to charity…..what a noble thing to do……sometimes people forget to take their head out of their azzz when people in uniform do things for the community other than discipline……..the people were all having a good time…..leave that man alone.
More o them need fi go learn fi dj
Commissione Williams Sir, As a long time visitor of some 27 years , to Petersville and Whitehouse Westmoreland in Jamaica, I was so proud to see this video on facebook, shared to me by Miss Donnette Feare.

Big respect to this police they need to leave him alone and find the theifing police them who a broke people house and rob bank and kill people children and controlling young girls who is afraid of them.
Leave the officer alone, he did what many think it hard to do and what he did was just simply socializing with the public.
The content of the lyrics was out of place.. he was dajaying against his intrest. INDECOM cannot tell him when to Burst his gun.and about using gun to do dangerous harms to personal..
Mi have mi gun pon mi and mi nah tek it out y mi nah tek it out too much informa deh bout….deh tune deh the officer should and use kill red neck
The Officer is doing what the Commissioner is too stiff to do. Relax and let the offcer be. Citizenry is what he is doing. Atlease he can mello with the crowd and yet own respect.
They are only doing it because it has been publicized so much how American cops are not skipping ropes, dancing and chilling and earning snacks in black communities. Just for show. Gesture was good, lyrics poooooor
I didn’t know it is a problem for a cop to make peace and have fun with civilian???? So it only when they need to bully or kill people they must interact with civilian???? Leave that dam police officer alone!!!! Why don’t the police high commissioner don’t go and target corrupt cop…. Oh forget that you and your admin are all dirty.
The Policeman doing wat the government should be doing
Them sa community policing and when police do it, them get inro trouble…
He was supporting the youth, no arm intended…. these ppl will respect this officer in there community here and after as welll. Low the constable

Carl Williams go scratch u balls pon a stone whey lean pon a cow witch tree! A whey u hear bout? Dat cop deserve a medal for community policing, u siddung inna a a/c everyday an u caan even control u thiefing officers but a who a try bring the community together u have strenght fah………fire! kmdt
This guy deserves a medal for community policing. This was a spontaneous action and benefited from his being in uniform. He brought some common ground to the community in this case which was completely different to just a guns and and enforcement attitude seen as a way of life by Jamaican. Whilst I applaud his single action I would not condone copycat ideas but just for a more community focussed police force.

His method of interacting with civilians is perfect. I heard he locked off the dance soon after. That is the best way to do things, and he should be lauded and promoted for his actions. It seems as if the police high commanded are disappointed in him not attacking and abusing the promoters, selectors and patrons, as most officers are known to do. I can guarantee you that after he deejayed and said the event was over, patrons left willingly without even grumbling, avoiding the standoffs that we are so used to seeing when the police is sent to shut… Read more »
most people think police is not human when an officer does something like this ,good look for the community & police , people will give him info on criminals , please mr commissioner promote him to head the community affair branch good look
Mi nah tell no lie i would buy mi ticket to this event. a spend big money to. Di show sell off Police. We need more officer like this cop to remember that they were ordinary person before entering the police force. I can bet you any money right now that the crime rate in that community is little or no crime right now. The officers are doing the community policing task work. They know thier who lives, work, and play in the community. All di tief dem i bet you he knows them. BIG UP POLICE, NUFF RESPECT.
