Knowing what I know about the Jamaica Constabulary Force, it is hard for me to believe the omission of the 21-gun salute was a genuine mistake. The 21-gun salute is baked into the program. It is not something you forget or omit. It is sacrosanct. And it is the one thing that differentiates a falling policeman's funeral from an ordinary civilian's. Another remarkable thing about the situation is the Commissioner saying he is waiting on a report to determine who was responsible for the JCF's failure to execute a 21-gun salute at the official thanksgiving service of corporal Oliver Mullings. That's a tell-tale sign Commissioner Anderson is hiding something. He knows who was charged with the responsibility of planning the funeral service. And I am sure it was at least an Assistant Commissioner. And I doubt an Assistant Commissioner would take it upon themselves to omit a 21-gun salute from a thanksgiving service. Something is wrong, and the Commissioner knows about it. My grandmother used to say, 'everything happens for a reason.'
