USodolophu waseTampa uJane Castor ulujongele phantsi ukhetho lwakhe lomphathi wamapolisa ngenkqubo yokukhetha esusa naluphi na uluvo loluntu.Yiyo loo nto iBhunga lesiXeko saseTampa, ebekufuneka liqinisekise naluphi na ulonyulo, lityhale kakhulu ngoLwesine, kwaye kutheni kungakhathaliseki nokuba sisiphumo, bekungekho mntu uphumeleleyo.
Kule nyanga, uCuster wamisela uMary O'Connor ukuba akhokele iSebe lamaPolisa aseTampa, apho wachitha iminyaka engama-22 enyuka kwizikhundla ngaphambi kokuba athathe umhlala-phantsi njengomncedisi wenkosi ngo-2016. phambi kokuba anyulwe njengosodolophu, kunye noJohn Bennett, intloko yabasebenzi bakasodolophu, omnye owayesakuba ngusekela mphathi wamapolisa.Ukunqongophala kwezinto elubala kwenza kube nzima ukuqonda.
I-ofisi kasodolophu ifuna ukuba ukholelwe ukuba u-O'Connor ukhethwe njengoyena "ogqwesileyo kwaye ulumkile" kukhangelo lukazwelonke olutyhile abanye ababini abagqwesileyo: Umkomishinala weThutyana uRuben "Butch" Delgado kunye noMncedisi oyiNtloko wamaPolisa aseMiami uCheris Goss.Kodwa akakwazi ukuxelela ukuba ngubani okanye bangaphi abanye abaqwalaselwayo, okanye achaze inkqubo yokuphonononga, ekhangeleka ngakumbi nangakumbi imihla ngemihla.
Kuziko lokuchotshelwa kweengxoxo zokuchongwa kuka-O'Connor, amalungu ebhodi ngoLwesine abonise uBennett inkqubo yokukhangela eqhelekileyo abathi ivaliwe, inomkhethe kwaye inokuba neempazamo.Kuya kuhlala kubonakala ukuba ezi zikhalazo zisemthethweni ziya kukhokelela ekugqibeleni ekukhatyweni kotyumbo.Kodwa akukho mntu unokukhusela uphendlo olubandakanya umnyhadala omnye ophambi koluntu kwaye abo baphumeleleyo babambe isimemo kuphela.Ngaba le yintanda-bulumko kasodolophu yokungafihli nto?
Amalungu ebhodi aliqela athi akhetha iDelgado, nangona kungacacanga ukuba abo bagqibileyo bazakuza ngantoni etafileni xa kujongwa imfihlo ebandakanyekayo.Kutheni olu lawulo lwenze ukhetho ngokungxama luqikelelo lomntu.Isizathu esifanayo sokuba angazihluphi ngokugqiba izabelo eziyimfuneko ukuze amisele abagqwesileyo.
Ke ngoku njengoko umgqatswa wenzakele, ukhetho lwesibini – iDelgado – lukwilimbo, kwaye usodolophu kunye nebhunga baqhubela phambili nezopolitiko kwisikhundla somphathi wamapolisa.Sixelele ngesiqendu somlilo esinobubele.
Konke oku kunokuphetshwa ngenkqubo yentsebenziswano ebonisa amandla kasodolophu wokumisela iinkosi kunye namandla ebhunga ukunika imvume.Okwangoku, elona sebe libalulekileyo esixekweni lisembindini womzabalazo wamandla oqinisekileyo wokuphila naliphi na ivoti yokuqinisekisa kwiiveki ezizayo.
