Finally the Jamaican police have arrested Christopher "Dudus" Coke. In May, the police mounted an operation in the Tivoli Gardens area of Kingston, to arrest Christopher Coke. 70 people died in the operation.
One arrest for 70 killed. Coke now faces extradition to the USA. No serious thinker on the drug market is going to suggest that with Christopher Coke out of the way the streets of Kingston will now be drug free. More likely the authorities have now created a job opening for one of his rivals.
So was arresting one man worth the lives of 70 people?
