Wow.. I find his comments offensive, he's calling us all idiots to even attempt that defense or spin.. He could have just put the mic to his ass and farted something better.

Commish u wrong, u Cannot work people extended hours taking time from there family its illegal as well as immoral.. You & your command staff sit in your air conditioned office & dont have to work the street & take risk.. Pay them the OT. U sound like a bully not a leader, a tyrant. U should be fighting for there pay.. i'm no fan of RBPF but this is wrong.. RBPF is a para military civilian organisation governed under the labour laws that apply to civilian employees, this is not the military..

Excellent decision based on her actions, plus the fact that she is 46 & looks 66 tells of a hard life..

They need to take this lady to PMH & get her a proper psychological evaluation and remove her image from this site.. Obviously there is something going on whether it be stress, frustration, injustice or just plain madness.. Whatever it is, it has pushed her over the edge & the way she clinches that bible under her arms reminds me of my mom & aunts so my heart goes out to her. Take notice politicians there are many people stressed and frustrated with the harsh conditions and realities of life in the Bahamas, those that are part of the working poor or living in abject poverty after being driven to madness will one day pay u a visit..

The gig is up, only those that are into symbolism still go to churches, who needs the middle man to much b.s

Thisours, u made a comment @ the end of the article about the P.M. intervening to stop the foreclosure for his friend that got me thinking.. it was " the scariest thing is that he has no idea what he admitted".. i'm starting to believe that the majority of our leaders are like that, mindless idiots.. Every week we read about the abuse of power, incompetence, mismanagement & just outright disregard for the rule of law.. But its like the Minister does not remember his colleague was in an article last week stating we have $500 million in uncollected taxes, & we're spending money for them to travel & live in luxury yet we have no money. My conclusion is that as long as the majority of the population remain ignorant we r trapped in this vicious circle with morons running the show.

Seize the 500 plus million profits from illegal gambling enterprise and use some to pay for the boats & the rest for education.. Legalize them and tell them to start from nothing like everyone else or go to jail.. There is one solution, would never happen, but hey better than leveraging us out of existence.

this is not the proper way to do things, u show up at the times they requested then u file grievance for the violation of contract by the government if this is so.. Failure to show up & do your job at the times they requested is insubordination and grounds for suspension or termination.. U must follow the grievance process to resolve problems.. I am sympathetic to anyone not being properly compensated especially with the high cost of living in the Bahamas but this is not the answer.. Furthermore Tribune please provide us with compensation facts as to what they are being paid, the working condition and what they are asking for.. Give the facts so that we can determine who is being unreasonable..

what's the current salary & what are the raises they are asking for.. This information would help us understand.. Plus provide us with all the other benefits request.. It should be provided as public information so put it in the article so we can determine who is being reasonable or not..

If you can get all the facts of what happen surely a motive, speculation, theory, guess or detail as why this person behaved this way can be investigated & provided to the readers...A little more effort please
