10 Jamaican police forced into retirement

These 10 police officers in Jamaica were forced into early retirement because they were thought to be involved in criminal activity.  A huge lottery scam a subject I have blogged about before, see this post.

But instead of bringing criminal charges against them, they have been retired early in the “public interest”.   Is it just me, or does this seem odd?

How can there be no evidence against them for such a wide scale fraud?  Do they have no assets?  There must be some pretty strong suspicions if they were forced to retire. In fact, the force couldn’t even prove misconduct against them.  If they cannot investigate matters like this, what does this say about the ability of the police to investigate themelves  – especially when it comes to the issue of police shootings in the form of extra judicial killings or is that a euphemism for murder.
