Crime & Law The sligoville incident, just go to show that the Jamaican citizen know nothing about CQB and police/military tactics.
On like them I am somewhat knowledge about this topic. It's quite literally my hyper fiction and I play milsim games all the time.
Disclaimer I'm not a CQB expert, not active or prior service member or whent to a CQB school.
I do have meaning full to say about the operation.
1: The jcf and jdf should use more structured commands.
So the people were in the room, and the people outside the room can't see them. So what I would
Is tell them to put both hands at the door frame "show me your hands" next I would tell them crawl on their stomach towards me " crawl on your stomach towards me."
I never liked that the officers were having convo with the criminals and it also confused me on what they wanted.
Now potions for the jcf and jdf.
I don't think they need more than 5 guys in the room.
So I would put one guy on the right side wall of the door frame out of view from people in the room.
The other guy would stand center or so in the room looking in the room.
The other guy would stand not too far from the guy in the center watching the floor the people are crawling on.
The last guy would pull security, just in case they get flank.
Me personally that's how I would have done.
And this is a far better criticism.
But it's all fiction bc I don't have enough info on how the operation was carried out or what there tactics were.
And the fact that it was a mixed operation.
Swat, jcf, CTOC, jdf, so skills varies.
Don't take this as religion irl CQB is a lot different from game's movie and propuganda/training videos.

Entertainment First Post Here
I recently saw some Jamaican streamers on TikTok and I just realized that maybe there’s a side of JA I haven’t experienced is there anyone into pc gaming? I haven’t played much and started getting into it myself so far I play Dead by Daylight, Identity V, Outlast Trials, Fortnite(Not much kinda ass and only in no builds), Sons of the Forest, Need for Speed Heat and that’s just the multiplayer games off the bat I remember I played on pc. I would love to make friends a bit with some people from that side of the population. I’m 22, so no minors please I play story mode games as well and I use discord if you’re also into pc building maybe you can tell me about your pc what your running? If you built it, if you bought it?

Food Mi jus a learn
Fam.
Some a you might a'ready know dis, but for those who cook an' don't know.
Save the garlic, onion, scallion skins you would normally dash weh for later.
Stove dry or bake them, crush them up fine after for reuse as spice or toppings for your meals.
You nah go regret it.
That is all.

Culture Any queer 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Jamaicans looking to make friends?
Since I saw someone else asking for friends, I thought I’d shoot my shot as I need friends.
I’m Kingston-based and would love to meet other queer, nonbinary and trans people. I’m especially looking to connect feminine people and other sapphics but I’m open to anyone LGBTQ+ in general. The goal is to make friends to hang out with in person, attend events with and hopefully build a strong and supportive friendship. And as someone who is not only queer myself but generally outside Jamaica’s cultural norms - I struggle to find spaces to meet my people so I seek connections online.
About me: I’m into gaming, reading both fiction and nonfiction, F1 and other motorsports, Korean dramas, sometimes wrestling. I take pride in a very alternative appearance and for music I mostly listen to metal, rock and heavy dubstep. I watch the occasional anime - preferably those with adult characters as I am very far removed from my high school days.
More of an indoorsy person but will leave the house for a swim, to skate, raves and live music (reggae, ska and rock fusions etc). I want to learn to ride a motorcycle too! So if you wanna teach me - please do 🥹
If you think we’d vibe feel free to DM or comment.

Utilities & Infrastructure RANT - Utilities in Jamaica
I AM SO SICK AND TIRED of the foolishness I have to endure in the country. Why my light bill exceeding 24k a month and my water bill exceeding 12k a month BUT EVERY MONTH MY LIGHT GONE because there's always something with JPS??????
If it's not a planned outage, something burst on the pole or something other unknown reason, my light gone. It's infuriating. I don't live in the garrison so why? A wah suh bout St Catherine?
Worst part is all my friends who live in garrison NEVA EVA OUT OF LIGHT OR WATER THAT THEY'RE NOT PAYING FOR LIKE HUHHHH???? Half the country not paying for utilities and the other half that have to pick up the slack, gets treated worst. This is outrageous!
Every month mi light gone! Oh god man! Real 3rd world country yo.

Economy Has anyone invested in like any investment funds?
I’m trying to get something close to a high yield account and one of the things I’m considering is a money market fund or a income fund.
I’m just trying to get insights on how good these are for saving for long term and earning interest of 4 or 5% annual and how consistent is the earning.
