> “We are pretty much aware of the different (factions) of gangs that are involved in this matter. We continue as a team to go after these individuals to disrupt their operation,” said Acting Commissioner Clayton Fernander yesterday.

**Translation:** *"Like most in the public, the police too are afraid of the gangs and clueless how to stop them."*

You should know by now that our police brass like to point out the obvious and are incapable of actually doing any real police work. Next he's going to blame residents for not cooperating with the cops.

Lolololol, that translation is comical

Sooooooo, Gravy Brave brought back this old soldier to tell us this???????

He is being paid a hefty package of salary & perks to solve this "turf war" problem ...... Where is the PF strategy to deal with the gangs???? .......... Or is there an underlying sinister collusion between the gangs and the police??????

That's right, great observation! He was let go and brought back because of his LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE. I guess he needs to go back on vacation. He stated the obvious. We all know what is going on.

Fernander seems to have given the straight out logic but accidently his straight talk has put pepper on some of the public hidden grievances in hating male intelligence and professionalism. Instead they dare the Police to also act as an armed gang not using the rule of Law, and they call this cowardly. The turf wars involve a source of income that sustains gang lifestyle of women money, poor unemployed males and females, ego, image with the ability to sustain this lifestyle. Why has the church not addressed this dangerous entity within our system. It would be just as stupid as me advising posters to walk into drug barons dens and ask them to change their lives and find a job. The Police know it is not that simple. The reality of common sense seems to have escaped many. This is a complex issue where the innocent public is also falling in this fight. But the Police is being made the public enemy. We must show more appreciation as the Police Officers must put their lives on the line to save us.

Sounds just like Ukraine to me ..... Leave the gangsters to murder the civilians, huh????? While the "good guys" wring their hands and say that they are doing all they can. Smt

The police also knew about the number houses. They did nothing. The police force is a.babysitting program. It houses people during the day to pass the time.

The Bahamian people voted against gambling so that enough is democratic power to still hold the entity illegal then return their 4 billion dollars earned to the treasury and to fight destructive gambling addiction.

The pandemic has exposed many of our youth to fall into the this violent underground pipeline. Most have not finished high-school and are economically in a state of desperation where anything goes. Thousands of ill equipped youths must be called in to learn a trade. The legalization of Marijuana will force many of them into civility as they loose their only source of income and domain ownership. Enclosed population centers where the underground is the only source of economic income will see a change as drug income stops flowing in and youth in their environments stop being exposed to Marijuana through regularization, education, destigmaization for adults who use. But how will this individuals accustomed to the benefits of unregulated Marijuana industry become resocialized. After The Hobby Horse Race Track closed I am not sure what the crime data showed. But for Marijuana normalization their lives being saved will be one benefit as that lifestyle is seeing only one ending too many. The Rasta Man is already chanting that they held production for the past sixty years and bore the brunt of discrimination incarceration, human rights violations, and monetary fines. They were colorful standout for victimization. They alone remain outside this turf war as their purpose probably does not involve protecting ego, control of turf through violent strong arm tactics and Marijuana robbery. Just how many lives will be saved after Marijuana legalization that will strike down deadly turf wars that see Nassau held hostage to their violent lifestyle we will never know. Uruguay saw an almost 90% drop in violent crime. Canada Police saw empty jails and money resources going toward domestic abuse, suicide prevention and serious crime prevention and investigation. Allowing persons to grow their own plant really destroyed the income of violent gangs around the world as they totally lost their sole means of survival.

Duh Honourable.Wayne Munroe might want use visionary appointment playbook of Allyson Maynard-Gibson...**by appointing an outsider as Duh UK Colony's Chief Constable,** ― Yes?

If you don’t think it is not an organized TURF WAR going on in the inner communities, can the commissioner please explain how liquor stores tripled in these areas during the pandemic. Who owns these stores? Who are granting the licenses? Why are the majority of workers in these rum shops non Bahamians? Why don’t these stores ever give receipts? Why are these liquor allowed to operate from 7:00 am in the morning until 2:00 am the following morning? Selling wholesale liquor when all other businesses are closed?
