Life sentence too good for him

Quote:
Dressed in a gray prison jumpsuit and rubber slippers, Allan Cameron, 27, the man accused of killing a New York City police officer in Brooklyn early Monday morning and wounding another officer nine days before, sat in a jail cell yesterday and described himself as a longtime drug user, a man with multiple girlfriends and someone with an appetite for hard partying.

"I smoke weed morning till night, like everyone in the ghetto," Mr. Cameron said. "I'm Jamaican. We don't use those other fancy drugs."

But in an hourlong interview at Rikers Island, where he is being held without bail, Mr. Cameron denied killing Officer Dillon Stewart, 35, the father of two and a fellow native of Jamaica who was shot through the heart during a traffic stop shortly after 3 a.m. on Monday.


The teen killed over the week-end is also Jamaican. His body will be taken back to Jamaica.

There just seems to be an uptick in criminal activity over the last weeks. I hope it is not a trend.
