The Politics of Power
As members of the Shower Posse took firm control of the territory around them, they were able to dictate rules and laws to the residents who lived there. So when politician Edward Seaga needed votes to claim the post of Prime Minister of Jamaica, Coke was in a position to help. Much like Joseph Kennedy Sr. went to the Italian mob to persuade them to give his son the votes of organizations that fell under their control.
With the entire population of Tivoli Gardens, and thus their votes, under his control, Coke had an important ace up his sleeve when it came to dealing with politicians. Thanks to his powerful connections to Prime Minister Edward Seaga and his Jamaican Labor Party Coke could commit his crimes with impunity.
But when Seaga was voted out of office, Coke lost his protection and was arrested when the United States asked for his extradition so they could put him on trial for all the violence and drugs he shipped to the land of opportunity.
In My Opinion This Man has done more for his people than Mr.Obama does for the hood,you dont see Barack in the hood trying to help nobody and he once organized in the projects in Chicago.but Here He goes after this man thats using the drug buisness to provide lights gas food clothing and education for his people where he come from,seems like Obama could learn a few things,and also why has Obama not created a equal employment Bill for Ex Offenders since 70% of this Countrys prison population,and convicted felons are black?
Yeah he did a lot for his people. But he became the fall guy for the war on drugs
