Standards have fallen so severely I wonder if they can ever be regained.
Disgraceful Behavior is becoming routine. Very dangerous ground.

Now before the Human rights people jump all over me.Think what would have happened if you kept your mouth shut and complied.No swollen eye,teeth straight no job worries.I have no doubt most if not all of what the women revealed happened but Police officers are human too.you want respect treat the officers with respect.this was actually told to my son by a magistrate after fining him $25 for diorderly behaviour apparently for shouting that officer was twisting his wrists,after i spent $4000 for a lawyer.All the serious charges were dismissed.On the other hand these officers need to be replaced immediately simply to regain the trust between the RBPF and the community.family island commmunities are very peacefull
with very little crime.There is no place for this kind of behaviour.Treat Police officers like you would a pitbull.be carefull.

Where the officers white?

You mussy lost brudda, white boys on the force scarcer than chicken teeth.

Ma comrade Messgr, me backyard Rooster, when 'he' was previously of 'male gender' and went as "Big Red," once sported gold tooth ....

Yea, they were Donald Trump's first cousins.

^^^ obviously not Bahamian despite the handle.

Not saying this comrades at top constabulary, and those serving in cabinet are instructing the abuse populaces by the constabulary but their silence are a powerful contributor, yes, no .... Even during Sir Stafford's Bay Street Boys days we populaces never suffered such degree colonial physical abuse .... seems Imperialists red shirts are setting stage for a harsher type 'Republic' re-colonization of colony of out islands ....

The silence on such matters IS deafening, Comrade. When they do bother to respond to the increasing reports of police brutality, it is routinely to defend the thugs on the force.

Ma Comrade DDK, the street corner data a much puzzled populaces - would much concur ....

Buncha sickos. If these reports are correct these "police officers" should be fired and jailed FULL STOP.

And what would you be saying if one of these defiant girls had pulled out a hand gun and killed the officer? If an officer tells you to get out of your car, you do just that. An officer has every right to create as safe a situation as possible for himself, even during a routine stop for a traffic violation.

...and you know this child was defiant because?? And what would you be saying if that had happened to your daughter???

Either you believe the facts as stated in the article above or you don't. The driver apparently was kind enough to alert the law enforcement officer that there were passengers in the rear seat of the car. The officer no doubt shouted, as trained to do, a reasonable request that the passengers exit the car for safety reasons - their safety and his safety. They refused to do so - an act of defiance. The officer, having been sworn to uphold the law, was not in a position to just say "OK, have a nice day" and get back in his vehicle and drive off.

As for my children, I have every confidence none of them would ever defy the instructions of a law enforcement officer. They were taught early on, by example, that law enforcement officers have one of the most stressful jobs one could have and are therefore to be respected.

**The reaction from him yucking her is that she accidentally fling her hand and miss and hit him in his face or whatever. He then put her in a headlock and just started punching her in her face.”**
ok, now let's get the truth!

Young people, stop being so aggressive and disrespectful.Had you been in the US or another country, that behavior could have cost you your life.

A picture tells a thousand words.............

The police are supposed to defuse tensions.

These girls were stopped for a broken traffic light . What reason was there for anyone to be *yucked*. **Too often the police incite violence** then report to us how they had to protect tgemselves

See my post above.

U see that girl face? You have daughters or nieces? These lil girls. If they answer a police officer back would you tell him just shoot her officer she'll learn for next time. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing justifies that image.

See my other post above.

Populace soon discover another comrade(s) member constabularies alleged use brute force to be 'investigated by they own kinds; that will never see no sunshine actuality, yes, no ........... Normally, officer(s) be immediately suspended from active duty until after a full independent body's unvarnished report got released to populaces ... but doesn't happen in we colony of out islanders .... Coroner’s Reporting back on alleged actions constabulary are mostly looked upon by populaces as a joke, yes, no ....

# two women in Exuma who claim they were brutalised on Sunday by one of the most senior officers on the island.

Do you think if they were males, both of these persons would've been shot dead and thepolice report would read, "Both men pointed guns at the very senior and well-trained officer, who became fearful for his life, so he shot both suspects DEAD! On the spot! Active police investigations continue."

I suspect their behavior was less than stellar. If you want respect give respect. very simple. Too many people believe that police officers are not real people and do not deserve respect. Not saying they are all perfect but always stay calm, respond to questions and if neccessary take the badge number.

If they see you take the badge number then they'll just shoot you!
