Yes we do want the criminals off the streets, however execute your duties professionally to ensure there is no loop hole for these men if guilty to return to the streets. It isn't hard to provide them with shoes, come on the famous Barefoot Bandit was given a pair.

If u notice in picture 1...the same suspect was wearing shoes...because of his resistance to keep on walking his shoes came off...which resulted in him being dragged into court

And that officer wouldn't be using a cell phone by no chance while assisting in the escort of a prisioner aye.

drag him into court on his behind if he won,t walk ..i,m so tired of these lawyers talking bout the police beat him ,or its demeaning w/ out shoes ,,how do u think the man they killed over a chain felt w/ that gun in his face just before he was murdered

I find the comments by concernedcitizen to be greatly disturbing. We do not yet live in a fully fledgling Police State even though we are almost there, still a man or woman is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, no matter what the circumstances. I hope you never sit on a jury, I pity our Criminal Justice System if you ever do.

it seems people on the jury let every off latley ...i,m a law abiding citizen that had guns in my face twice and the little bit i worked for stolen ,,,,police state ??,crimminals got guns ,MP,s got guns and here we are sitting ducks .....i was a bad boy when i was younger and God helped me change ,,,i know what these animals are thinking ,,,next you will tell me the mandatory sentences are to long ,and murderers should get bail ..we are a small country the police know who the bad guys are ,,there not making mistakes and picking up choir boys...

addmoreandcharge you are A sensible Bahamian!
SMH at these wanna be gangstas!

myopinion I guest my comment wasn't clear. What I was saying in a nut shell was for officers to carry out their duties professionally. By this, maybe if the officer whom appears to be bexting wasn't he would have notice when the prisioner shoe fell off. Yes it could be seen he had shoes earlier so where were they then. If they fell off allow the prisioner to put them back on or place his shoes in his waistband. Like I stated, the Barefoot Bandit never had shoes but was given, so to wear shoes show that officers find it humane that a prisioner must have, so why give a Lawyer that avenue to argue for his clients rights. Although an individual may be considered a criminal, until the courts find him guilty carry out police duties effective to ensure no loop hold can be find to make a guilty man walk free.

And for concerncitizen, when you drag a suspect into court on his behind, dont wonder why he wins his case claiming - judge you see how they drag me and all I was saying to them was let me put my shoes on cause the ground hot. And judge the police beat me to get me sign that statement. Stop giving these individuals a trump card to use against you. You express your past but I also experienced being robbed, having my house broken into, my car stolen, but to give a 'suspect' the benefit of claiming police brutality with the chance of winning a case should be the last objective.
