Seems more sensible to get the whole story BEFORE jumping to what could be an embarrassing conclusion!

Monsters in uniform masquerading as law enforcing and abiding police - and we wonder where ours get their inspiration.........

The young man is on US soil with US citizenship, what can the Bahamas government say? Perhaps if it had occurred in another country other than the US, then the Bahamas would be in a better position to defend him as a Bahamian citizen.

He has already acquired the services of ***shady*** Benjamin Crump so, justice will be served!

That little Troglodyte knows what he did why he got his ass beat. The police have to do the jobs of the parents

I believe he picked up a fallen cell phone.

Why are so many white teachers and white policeman in working in American black and brown schools and neighborhoods?????? ................ I suppose that is how Spanish Wells and other "white" Bahamian communities feel here at home ......... SOCIALLY INVASIVE & VIOLATED.

White cops and teachers see black and brown people as irresponsible, threatening and uncontrollable as opposed to their ethnic group ......... hence the use of unjustifiable force or reactions.

There have been studies into why there isn't a better representation of minorities in the police force. From what I recall the need to have a high school diploma as well as pass an entrance test were the major reasons. Just look at our police force - many of them can't form proper sentences and can't write a report that can stand up to scrutiny in court.

So how do you explain the Police here using excessive force, methods etc against their OWN ETHNIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS or is that being caused by white people too ???

That's just the same psycho bully syndrome

I recall hearing that the reason all the kids gathered there in the first place was because there was going to be an arranged fight between students (maybe just 2 students) and everyone else came to watch.

Lesson for young people... 1. if the cops are arresting someone, don't go grabbing things that are in the immediate vicinity and 2. if a cop pushes you away from an active and highly charged scene, don't play big and post up in his face.
In other words... don't be a dumb ass. And PLEASE, if you do something stupid like this, DON'T say you're Bahamian!

well said @sickened! well said!

There were TWO machine gun attacks in the Bahamas over the holy Easter holiday. So what are the PLP concerned about? Some teenager who now lives in Florida and got into a scuffle. In Florida. Yeah, this makes perfect sense.

I agree 110% !!! Why hasn't the Mitchell clown called for the government to address these home grown incidents ??? The teen in the video is a NATURALIZED AMERICAN, therefore HE SHOULD KNOW about the ramifications of NOT listening to an American law officer ! Also if he has dual citizenship like the report states his mother said, then why is that not being investigated. If the P.L.P. are looking for brownie points, then I suggest they find something viable to work with/on !!!

Operation fast and furious still in action

They are concerned about the BRUT force used by American law enforcement officers. But do nothing when the same or even worse happen home at the hands of Police and immigration officers? Shame on the PLP for trying to gain points at the expense of this your man. I'm sure his family is well on their way to see that these officers are punished to the full extent of state law. NO Bahamian law! I smell a lawsuit coming!

WOW! The video shows this big grown ass jackass cop assaulting this kid!

So, who is surprised that officer "Krickovich" claimed Delucca took an aggressive stance toward officers and "clenched his fists"? Clenching of one's fists is now a crime in the U.S.A.?

There are always 3 sides to a story, but there is only one truth. My not knowing the truth, I choose to abstain from further comment on Mr. Dellluca. Which Island is the "Deluccas" from anyway?

Officer Krickovich overly excessive actions are not surprising, and the exact reason I choose not to take my young adult family traveling in the U.S. for the last 10 years. There are far too many "Krickovich" types in the U.S. dressed in blue, that would take tremendous pleasure in gunning down young individuals of color. So they can keep their "United States", Land of the free horse shyt somewhere else.

When is the Bahamian government going to grow just one ball and put out travel warnings to Bahamians about these power-mad U.S. copos?

Good question, where are the DELUCCAS from and how did that name become Bahamian. It sounds more like he originated a little further south of Inagua !!!

Delucca ROLLE

Well look on the Brightside he won't have to empty the slop bucket in the Fort Lauderdale jail.

Yeah ... American jails have actual flush toilets and running water.

I wish we could somehow turn Fweddy Boy over to that Broward Sheriff's Deputy.

Pretty much every day in this country someone is being beaten by a police officer or an immigration officer. We all know this, and this has been going on for years. This was something the PLP could have tried to stop when they were in power, but as usual they did nothing. Due to that i need not listen to Fred's words on what is happening in the US (even if i don't agree with what happened.).

The pictures are there. . .our "sweet lil chile" gone up in the police face. . .like he want to fight. . .I don't know what else he expected to get. . .a cookie? However, those two officers had the child on the ground. . .neutralized. . . YET THE CONTINUED TO PUNCH HIM, BEAT HIS HEAD ON THE GROUND AND SIT ON HIS BACK. . .OBVIOUSLY THAT "LIL SKINNY" BOY COULD NOT BREATH PROPERLY WITH THAT BIG FAT MAN KNEELING ON HIS BACK! Them two officers are bad news. . .beating the snot out one lil rude tail boy!!

However, Fred Mitchell knows that duel citizens are explicitly told that neither government can protect you from any obligations of the other!! He is home and protected under the US constitution. . .BAHAMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT MATTER!!

the kid was not charged with anything and the officers were placed on leave. In the US at least there is a process. In the Bahamas the police can do this and more without a peep from politicians. The PLP need to stop the posturing. We cant even get the US to stop with the crazy, baseless warnings- so we certainly can't do a dam thing about this.
