Most know that the Police are doing their job to the best of their ability, it is the court system that is a shambles. It is telling in a nation run by lawyers that the judiciary is the problem. I really think that the daft Privy council should be made to live in the ghetto incognito for at least a month and after they get the "feeling" maybe they will change their tune about capitol punishment. One thing is for sure, the animals we are dealing with today thumb their nose at our efforts to control them, they have no fear. The citizens of The Bahamas are being TERRORIZED!

They could do better asiseeit. Have you heard anything about the lady whose house was invaded by "real" police officers? They need to call wrong wrong , they're law officers.

I was thinking about that very same situation...we never did hear the end of that story, got conveniently swept under the rug...

Is this then to say that the police must cease and desist the practice of smashing down and breaking through the front door of someone's residence under the dark of night? There has been at least several reports of this in this media this year, where the police have smashed into homes and not only refused to identify themselves but harassed and manhandled (or woman handled ) persons who were not their persons of interest, but were regular occupants of the residences targeted.

FINALLY! I can't believe they didn't do this earlier. And I can't believe the statement wasn't the focus of the event. After the DOM bodyguard was shot everybody showed up at a press conference why not this?

Second needed action, publicly denounce bad behaving officers. Regarding those officers who barged into a home a few months ago, **just like these robbers**, what happened to that "internal" investigation? The tribune still has the video. It probably looks just like what Mr Cartwright experienced. Sometimes you need to make examples of bad behaving people. Seriously. Stop propping up criminals, corrupt politicians and illegal gambling. (You know the darkness these gambling houses bring, drugs, prostitution, illegal guns, human smuggling, but you looked the other way) stop looking the other way

"DPM's bodyguard"

So when was the DPM's body guard shot?

The incident behind super value prince Charles.

Remember Brave Davis' "now we know no one is safe" statement? Then there was the attempted robbery of another off duty policeman in his driveway, another high level press conference. Then there was the murder of the half time full pay civil service worker another press conference.

*someone comes in that area and they’re kicking down the doors and they’re carrying on in a fashion that’s being described, you know they’re not police officers,” he added. “Even though they may be using some uniform that may look like police officers, people should just use their common sense. When you’re not sure just call 919.”*

This makes me want to scream, no disrespect to ACP Bethel. This is exactly what happens in the video on the tribune website, but NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY, has publicly denounced it. They protect these bad officers like they protect *tievin* politicians. She called 919, another patrol car showed up and SHE WAS ARRESTED??? Commissioner you have to right this wrong, say something.

Which would have been quicker, to call the police and wait for a responding unit or grab your own means of defense. Unfortunately, this country doesn't give its citizens an equal fighting chance when it comes to gun laws and defending ourselves from criminals. Crime is on the rise and certain laws need to be updated.

What a joke....when the police say "“quickly” dial 919".....haha...has anyone tried calling the police or fire department recently? Really? No answers....50+ rings before someone picks up...or more common, calls don't go through....how about getting these departments to answer their damn phones! And even if you do reach someone, it's 30-60 minutes before they show up!

Yeah...919... 'WHEN IT WORKS' ...is pathetic

The fact is that many homes don't have land line phones anymore. And many cell phones do not dial 919, maybe because they are preprogrammed to dial 911. Maybe BT needs to look into this.

Comrades while two ministers of crown have different take on rapes it just goes to prove that with the Blair Estates Home Invasion murder there is "little evidence to show" efforts to curb violence message against citizens in Nassau Town has reached the thugs. What citizens and residents are not confused about is The Tribune will continue to run more heartbreaking headlines about murders, rapes, home invasions, break and entry, stabbings, business people being killed for their days cash register proceeds. Crimes that will be carried out by young criminals. No damn wonder Bahamalander's don't have enough time worry about sales of prime real properties to a foreign government. Somebody do something, before they come kill the families of those reading this blog? If you can't then step aside to allow somebody who can. What citizens and residents don't need is more talk and promises. No more funerals.
