Police Follow Up Yardie shooting....


The daylight shooting of Andrew “Yardie” Haynes has brought several issues relating to police procedures to the spotlight. The entertainer was shot in his upper thigh by an officer allegedly with a twelve gage shot gun. But in what circumstances are police officers allowed to discharge their firearms? The Assistant Police Commissioner with responsibility for Crime Vernon Francois says procedure dictates that an officer discharge a firearm when the life of innocent citizens or his or her own is at risk. ACP Francois says the officers are the ones who make these judgment calls.
