I presented the same exact presentation to the previous FNM administration at the Cabinet level, without any cost to the government. However, we have not received an official response from the Bahamas government. ...this should be interesting.

Dear Tyler McKenzie

I commend you for your courageous commitment to speaking truth and addressing an important issue within our country. Your efforts have shed light on a matter of great significance and have given significant relevance to the question of our safety as citizens in the presence of law enforcement. Your work is deserving of recognition and serves as an inspiration for others to engage in open discussions and seek meaningful solutions.

Perhaps a better solution would be for the government of the Bahamas to intervene and regulate the exorbitant fees being charged by certain cruise ship companies for access to their services on their exclusive private islands in The Bahamas. Such fees are not only unreasonable but can also tarnish the reputation of the Bahamas as a desirable tourist destination.

It's worth noting that the prices for services on private islands, such as Perfect Day at CocoCay, are separate from the proposed taxes. These prices vary depending on the specific experience, with examples including.

> Experience Price Thrill Waterpark $84
> - $129 per person for a full day Zip Line $79 - $119 per person Up, Up &
> Away Helium Balloon Ride $39 - $84 per
> person Zip Line $79 - $119 per person

The cruise package prices would differ and are not directly related to the proposed taxes or the private island excursion costs.

> Is citizen safety at risk in The
> Bahamas?

The incidents of police misconduct, beatings, rape allegations, and killings in The Bahamas clearly indicate that citizens' safety is at risk. This breakdown in law enforcement's trust and accountability has significant implications for the well-being of the population.

When citizens suffer violence or abuse from those who are supposed to protect them, it erodes their trust in the police force and the justice system. This creates an environment of fear, powerlessness, and a lack of faith in the authorities' ability to ensure their safety. Immediate and decisive action is necessary to resolve these issues and restore public trust.

The reported incidents of police misconduct, rape allegations, and killings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive reforms and intervention within law enforcement agencies. The safety of citizens must be given top priority, and effective mechanisms must be put in place to ensure their protection and hold those responsible for crimes and abuses accountable.

A multi-faceted approach is required to address these challenges, including thorough investigations, robust oversight, community engagement, and police force reforms. Implementing these measures and decisive action makes it possible to create a safer environment for the Bahamian population and rebuild trust in law enforcement agencies.

While the thought of citizens taking up arms against the police force is concerning, resorting to violence or using weapons can escalate conflicts and lead to more harm and instability. Seeking peaceful and constructive solutions is vital to address the issues of police abuse and misconduct.

Addressing the formidable challenges law enforcement agencies face in The Bahamas requires a comprehensive approach. The perception entrenched within the police force that they stand above public accountability has contributed to a deeply ingrained culture of abuse and corruption. Systemic reforms must be undertaken to reestablish public trust and cultivate effective self-governance within the institution. These reforms should encompass legislative changes, comprehensive training programs, formidable internal oversight mechanisms, and the imposition of rigorous penalties for misconduct. Only through the collective implementation of these concerted efforts can the law enforcement agencies in The Bahamas dismantle the prevailing culture of impunity and faithfully serve and protect the communities they are duty-bound to safeguard.

Furthermore, The Bahamas grapples with a glaring contradiction in maintaining an outdated governance system—the Westminster System—harking back to the 1800s. This antiquated system bestows constitutional protection on certain public servant positions, inadvertently providing a cloak of impunity and an air of superiority over the public. This perpetuates a dangerous environment that conceals officers with a propensity for severe abuses. Addressing this fundamental flaw is vital for dismantling the structures enabling abuse tendencies and fostering a truly accountable and transparent law enforcement apparatus.

The Bahamas, plagued by a history of police misconduct and corruption, has nurtured a culture in which law enforcement officers are perceived to be shielded from public accountability, leading to a disturbing sense of impunity.

To rectify this deeply rooted issue and unleash the true potential of body cameras for law enforcement, it is imperative to establish resolute and unambiguous regulations. A robust framework delineating the proper use of body cameras will foster transparency and accountability and ensure that this investment's anticipated benefits are fully realized. Without such guidelines, the risk of confusion and diminished effectiveness looms large, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive laws and guidelines. Through their diligent implementation, body cameras can emerge as invaluable tools for collecting evidence and fostering officer accountability, ultimately reinstating the eroded public trust in law enforcement.

Compelling instances of body camera legislation challenges can be witnessed in the case of the Baltimore Police Department in the United States. Despite the introduction of body cameras in 2016 as part of a federally mandated reform initiative, subsequent investigations and audits laid bare a disconcerting trend—numerous officers failed to activate their body cameras during critical incidents, including those involving the use of force. This brazen non-compliance with department policies raised grave concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and the overall efficacy of the body camera program.

Similarly, the city of Chicago encountered setbacks in its body camera usage policies, which were implemented in response to highly publicized incidents of police misconduct. An extensive investigation conducted by the Chicago Tribune in 2019 brought to light instances where officers either neglected to activate their body cameras or deliberately deactivated them during citizen encounters. These flagrant violations of department policies cast doubts on the reliability and credibility of recorded footage, underscoring the urgent necessity for stricter enforcement measures and severe consequences for non-compliance.

These stark examples unequivocally emphasize the indispensability of clear legislation and robust enforcement mechanisms to ensure officers' consistent and proper utilization of body cameras. Without such measures firmly in place, the potential of body camera programs to augment transparency, accountability, and public trust remains profoundly compromised.

> The "Lonely Police Escort": Bahamians
> Uninterested in US Vice President
> Kamala Harris's Visit

A convoy of 50 vehicles, now known as the "Lonely Police Escort," made its way through the streets of Nassau today. Despite the visit of United States Vice President Kamala Harris, Bahamians seem uninterested and unconcerned.

It appears that Bahamians truly don't give a Fu@% about the United States Vice President Kamala Harris arriving in The Bahamas today.

While Vice President Kamala Harris made her way to the nearby region, the waning influence of the United States is becoming increasingly evident. Global leaders are growing concerned about the issues pursued by Americans that contradict political, moral, and social norms. Furthermore, it seems that the concerns of others are being disregarded, leaving many to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the American agenda.

The presence of the gay community in The Bahamas can be traced back at least 60 years, if not longer. Throughout my lifetime, I have noticed that gay individuals were regarded as equals among other Bahamians. They actively participated in church activities and contributed to the education of our youth. It's worth noting that their lifestyle choices were never imposed on anyone, and they had the freedom to live as they saw fit within their private circles.

However, the current attitude shift (Being heavily Promoted by the Americans) is towards greater visibility and assertiveness among LGBTQ+ individuals, which is problematic for many people who truly don't care whose ass you eat. People are offended by the aggressive "in your face" approach where gay people feel entitled to express themselves under the guise of exercising their rights, regardless if it offends others with different principles and standards in their life.

Some may argue that certain behaviours or choices are deemed "detestable" in the eyes of a higher power and society. But there is also my right to disagree simply, but what is being perpetrated is a 'rape, violation of me and my family by, as it were.

This is more about an American 'in your face, I can do and conduct myself in a way that even if it's offensive to others, it's my rights' attitude. But don't 'rape' my right to object and disagree with what 'you' have chosen as acceptable.

"I can't see a direct connection between Alexander The Great and the Americans pushing their gay issues on our community. However, considering his love for travel, I believe we would have gotten along well as friends, regardless if he was gay; just once, he kept his gay ass to himself and not wanting to share his filth all over Asia, like these nasty asses American who are promoting their nasty gay agenda.

At the same time, Black Americans are still not seen as equals, denied opportunities and losing their life because of the colour of their skin in their own country, and being told to "go back to Africa, you monkey"; these are much more serious issues to resolve.

You Minions gatta get serious with where you stand, and take your heads out of these Americans' backside, pathetic."
