I suspect your blame of Haitians may be misplaced. I live in Long Island and there is a epidemic of stolen boats and especially parts. My boat was stolen, used for a nefarious purpose and then politely returned to me damaged of course. Then while it was in my enclosed yard $1000 parts stripped from the engine. Neither crime ever solved of course. However, there is not a single Haitian living in Long Island, legal or otherwise. It is our own people doing most of this crime.

Give me a hint: Does he have stubby, sticky fingers?

Thank you Mr. Gibson for providing a first hand view of the completely unprofessional conduct of these police officers. It provides context and clarity to this situation. This behavior is completely unacceptable, one can only imagine the police officer's behavior in the heat of the moment that lead to your client being incarcerated. Sadly, I predict your complaints will go no where, there seems to be little to no accountability in the hierarchy of the police force. It is no wonder so many of them seem to act like thugs given this environment.

There is not a single Haitian in Long Island that I am aware of - legal or illegal. Which illustrates an important point, bahamians have created this problem by hiring illegal immigrants. Then our successive governments failed to address the issue of persons born to illegal immigrants living in the Bahamas their entire life with no legal standing. So we reap what we sow. Stop hiring illegal aliens, hire bahamians, and regularize those that are entitled and deport as fast as possible everyone else. It is our own slackness that perpetuates this problem and the sooner we accept that and make changes the better. This unfortunate young lady is very much a product of her environment and it is one bahamians have tolerated and in some measure encouraged.

I hope this is throughly investigated and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately, the police force has a reputation for using excessive force, we should require all police to wear body cameras, much more professional training, and a large increase in salary so we can attract much better candidates. There is a dire need for a more professional force.

Good. It is long past time the FNM took a stand to preserve democracy and object to this injustice. We are watching to see if Mr. Minnis truly has the backbone to be prime minister.

Let the dirt be known! I am surprised Mr. Gomez would continue to allow his good reputation to be so sullied. We know he has already tendered his resignation twice, he must be a very conflicted man. When you lie down with the dogs you will get fleas. Very sad, he should leave before his reputation is destroyed any further, either way very sad for him and the country.

On Newbold denies Gomez claims

No worries CS, the AG does not enforce laws in the Bahamas, just ask VAG.

Mr. Wilson is either delusional or simply deliberately trying to dupe a bahamian populace that he thinks is stupid. Unemployment is at a higher rate than when the PLP came to office 3 years ago, the absolute value of delinquent mortgages is higher than when the PLP came to office, our national debt is currently at an all time high relative to GDP, We have a new massive tax- VAT - that is projected to raise 350 million annually from an already overburdened taxpayer thus removing 350 million from the productive private sector and give it to this corrupt, inefficient government, Bahamar is not open with no firm opening date in sight, the fear of crime is palpable and shows no signs of abating, BEC is more dysfunctional and has more load shedding and blackouts than ever, never ending scandals which are never addressed in a timely or fair way......... Yeah I think he is right, he has convinced me economically we are doing better. The Bahamas sounds like a wonderful place to invest now.

The more important story here and what should have been the headline was the net income miss by cable bahamas. I would like the tribune to question him on this as that is of utmost importance to shareholders and not just the positive spin Mr. Williams put by emphasizing revenue growth. Revenue growth is wonderful but meaninglessness if costs are not contained and net income increases. A decline of 19% in net income is significant and even more so the failure to meet cable's own projection at the time of a preference share offering that net income would be 15.4 million for 2014. This is a miss of 27%, why such a huge miss on cable's own projections, shareholders want to know!
