Two Jamaican policemen have been killed while trying to find a druglord, Christopher ' Dudus ' Coke to be extradited to the US where he will stand trial. His supporters are fighting the police to protect him against arrest. They claim that he gives them money and jobs and helps them when they need. In short a latter day Robin Hood doing social service. It was the same with Veerappan, the dreaded sandal wood smuggler, who had many murders to his name. Local villagers offered him protection and warned him of coming police to keep him free for over two decades. In Bangkok Red Shirt protesters died fighting the army to get the government to call for fresh elections. This is happening because of uncontrolled population growth in the developing countries. Poor people continue to breed without having the resources to feed their growing numbers and expect their governments to give them food, clothing and shelter which is impossible. Criminals take advantage of this. Make billions from crime, distribute a few millions to the poor and get an army of protectors who see the police as enemies coming to take away their source of food. Hamas and Hezbollah get their support from such masses using them as human shields if attacked. To their credit the Chinese seemed to realise the potential dangers of uncontrolled breeding of the poor and instituted a one child policy about twenty years ago. That led to double digit economic growth in every year, reduction in poverty, increasing education and increasing aspirations in the people leading to greater economic activity. The only way to reduce poverty and crime is to reduce the number of the poor.
