Bob Marley Question Part 1

Jahworks Book Reviews | coffee table bob marley
A question asked by a work colleague has inspired a search to find out the meaning - if any - behind the title and lyrics of Bob Marley's 'I shot the sheriff'. this first article suggests it may be a result of Bob's relationship with friend, 'herb' finder and part time band member - Lee Jaffe who was white and may thus be representative of 'babylon'/authority/imposed (white/colonial) law and order ie the aforementioned sheriff?.
