How many Bahamians or brokers operating from The Bahamas find themselves caught up in similar situations and have to fight tooth and nail?

Driven by greed

Again start with ‘who activated the voice notes and shared them around generously and the motive. During the drug era, the DEA agents would make contact with the dealer and win his confidence. Then after they got on a buddy, buddy friend basis, the agent would discuss making a deal and the dealer would let his guard down. He would contact his courses and reveal his confidential information to the agent. The deal would go through only for the dealer to find it was paid for with counterfeit money, the drugs get confiscated, the agent goes to another jurisdiction and the dealer goes to jail. He can no longer contact his suppliers even when he is released from jail because he is considered a snitch and plus the supplier still hasn’t been paid because the money he got was counterfeit . So a police strikes a similar deal for which he is offered to be paid. He may not know he is being set up and after making the first deal he is more comfortable being ‘on the take’. All the while his conversations and dealings are being recorded.., then one day the mud hits the fan.

The Tribune is cautious so as not to get sued for libel should tge voice notes turn out to be false. But they were all over social media. The commissioner says he is already in talks with both Scotland Yard and the FBI to launch an investigation. T’s a tangled web to unweave

The facts are this is not news… not new news for certain. One just needs to go through the Tribune’s blogs and see how many times it was mentioned and for long. How many young men were murdered as soon as they walked out the prison gates or shortly after. Yes there needs to be an investigation and a commission. But take a hint. The local police are just the middle tier. And there is a top tier.

First of all be curious if the origin of these voice notes and the intention of circulating them. $1.5 million is a lot of money to go missing. Remember similar voice notes were circulated after the early morning shooting at a privately owned airport. The intent to implicate someone in the murder. Apparently the plot backfired. .

. Parents, especially single mothers have been crying out and hollering for justice when they claim police ‘pick up my son, beat him and put all kinds charges on him, sometimes even murders. Sometimes the young never made it to court especially after they were outfitted with ankle bracelets.and some were left permanently scarred with internal injuries, broken arms, ribs legs..
.
Be wary of calls to defund the police or even to call in external sources to do investigations. Some of the organizations mentioned hav just as much ‘internal irregularities’ as the local police force. And the signal it will send ‘ incapable of managing our own affairs?’ If the investigation warrants prosecution then do it without fear or favor.

My point is the hiker ( if your story is true) was not on a ship in Germany that may have disrupted the vacation of several thousand people who had to decide to stay on the ship and ‘be safe’ or go ashore and explore. The hiker didn’t affect thousands, probably millions of people who are planning vacations but heard they media reports that a 14 y/o autistic boy went missing in the Caribbean ( not sure exactly where they said) whilst the incident happened across the world in Germany. And after the boy was ‘missing‘for two days they only said he was ‘found safe’ with no more details

No shut head. Your president elect said that about Haiti

You know as well as everyone else our police and our government pander to the US and to American citizens. So if a young , white American girl says she was raped by a young ‘ thug’ as you call us, his ass going to jail and will be guilty as sin until proven innocent. At 18 do you think he had the resources to persue the matter or even hire a lawyer, especially since he wasn’t given bail? Hey we is the same niggas who use to get hanged or Lynchburg for looking at a white womens laundry on a clothes line… correction not looking, but accused of looking
