Simple Question!!!!!!!! Why were you driving above the prescribed 35 to 40 MPH (St Lucia Road Ordinance) on a major road way ????????? As a police officer you were to set the example for others……..
Vehicle run off the road and hit a tree. Normally u would read from the Authorities oH DRIVE WITH DUE CARE AND ATTENTION. Like to lay blame at the driver. Now it’s a police none of that. Last time a yute run off the road bottom of Choc Hill even the PM made a statement about speed, like he was there. Anyways let this be a lesson to us. Respect the road. It has rules, speed limits, lanes etc. Follow them.
THERE’S MORE TO THIS, IN TERMS OF OUR CULTURE FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT. LOOK AT THE AROUND HIS NECK 😍 IT MAY HAVE BEEN MOUNTED TO GIVE HIM PROTECTION IN HIS JOB AS A POLICE OFFICER. WE HAVE THIS GOING ON FOR YEARS AND YEARS IN OUR CULTURE, MOUNTING UP GOLD RINGS 💍 💍 FOR PROTECTION. DO NOT A CROSS. THROUGH THE SPIRITUAL SENSE OR CONNECTION. JESUS CHRIST HAVE CARRIED HIS FOR HIMSELF AND NOT FOR US THROUGH HIS OWN TRIALS AND TRIBULATION. I AM MAKING THIS CONTRIBUTION TO REJOICE OVER THE POLICE OFFICER DEATH. LETS LOOK AT 👀 IT FROM A HIGHER SPIRITUAL ✨️ PERSPECTIVE !
I MEANT TO SAY, THAT I AM NOT MAKING SUCH COMMENTS TO REJOICE OVER THE POLICE OFFICER DEATH.
