This is the same Conservative Government, that put to death many of the young Black men in Brixton back in the eighties, it is the same Conservative government that is doing it again. But we black people of Jamaican parentage, not going to make this happen again. It s payback time, Paige-Patric Samuels commented.
================================================
A FACEBOOK group has been set up by members of the community eager to get justice for late reggae star Smiley Culture.
Campaign for Justice for Smiley Culture, aimed to bring the police to account for the death of the Cockney Translation singer, has already attracted over 3,000 members in just two days.
On March 15, Officers visited at the 47-year-old's Surrey home as part of a planned arrest.
Details of what happened after the police arrived are yet to be established, but the commission confirmed that Mr Emmanuel was pronounced dead at the house in Warlingham, Surrey after suffering a fatal stab wound.
It has been alleged that the star, real name David Emmanuel, stabbed himself but family and fans refuse to believe Smiley would have killed himself and have called for the police to be investigated.
Im wondering who else was in the house at the time of the raid, i cant see smiley stabbing himself through the heart that is madness, and it doesn't make sense :(, said group member, Louise Gray

While member John Smith added: Smiley is gone, but definitely not forgotten. There are many of us worldwide who will support the family until the truth is told. My sincere condolences to the family and admiration how they have handled this difficult situation
A police watchdog has said it will be "looking into" the actions of all the officers following the death of Eighties reggae star Smiley Culture.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched an enquiry after a Met Police operation ended in the musician, real name David Emmanuel, being stabbed.
Mike Franklin, IPCC Commissioner for the south east, said: "We will be looking into the planning of the arrest, the way in which it was carried out and the actions of all the officers who were present at the time of the incident."

I remembered doing this too when looking up information on the "Smiley Killer".
That was the Smiley Face Killer, about the college aged men who were winding up murdered, always around bodies of water.
