Jamaica news update - police try to capture... Gather: "Kingston, the capitol of Jamaica, is under a state of emergency. Police have been attacked by armed gangs. The attacks are an effort to prevent the arrest of the drug lord Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. His gang is called Shower Posse. It is an international drug smuggling ring.
Last week, the Jamaican government agreed that they would finally extradite ‘Dudus’ to the US. However, ‘Dudus’ supporters have placed barricades and are fighting to protect him.
A police station is actually on fire in Kingston. Police have evacuated women and children from the neighborhoods near the unrest. The state of emergency in the area will last at least a month.
‘Dudus’ is a community leader in the area. His supporters see him as somebody who fills a role that the government does not fill. He gives the people money when they are unemployed, which is why he has so much support."
