Imbedded corruption. If a civilian was to commit these atrocities there would be no statute of limitations. They would have to face j justice if even 100 years later. And even when complaints are made against corrupt officers, who are helping to drive crime and violence in this country, the corruption unit takes over a year to report their findings so that victims cannot file a civil lawsuit. This police brutality and the corruption to protect dirty, crime infested officers, who are a disgrace bro their uniforms, must end in this term of the Minnis administration because he said it is the people’s time. This behavior must not be tolerated in the least when it is against innocent civilians. It is criminal and must be treated as such. And it will be weeded out. And Marvin Dames and Anthony Ferguson must be made to answer for the criminal actions of their police officers. How could you ever justify beat and torturing and threatening to kill innocent civilians as a process to solve crime? Even under wartime your actions would be illegal and you would be brought before the courts. And in some countries you would be put to death by a firing squad when found guilty regardless of what position you hold. Regardless of how many stripes on your sleeve or how much egg on your cap.

I see the economy really picking up after June and if the country has another booming winter season like this year there are chances the deficit target can not only be met but beaten. But watch what the Uss is doing with their travel advisories. The increase in VAT and the merciless hike in electricity bills really knocked the wind out the economy’s sail. Not only did these actions send some businesses over the financial cliff but it destroyed consumer confidence. A whole lot of it. And not only did Bahamians have a hard time making ends meet after the VAT and electricity increases and had to cut back on spending, but those who had a few dollars left say ‘Let we hold on to these to see what else they ger do.” Bahamians do not trust this government (or the last one and that translates into low consumer confidence and reduced spending.

Ask yourself ‘Who has the police partnered with (or partnered with again) since the FNM came to office? And that crew who is ‘ sic in ‘ the police on its own people like dogs and teaching them illegal military torture tactics cannot do this in their own country. Not only will they receive life sentences, but tons of legal lawsuits totaling millions of dollars. And the police who carry out these torture and abuse are not men. They never were. Their male gonads have been removed along with a great portion of their common sense. How can you report to work day after day, night after night and beat and torture your own people? Ninety five percent of whom are innocent. No police officers but national disgrace to the uniform. And how long will the Bahamian people sit back and allow these torture chambers to continue to operate? The police by acclamation are now the biggest and most dangerous gang operating in the Bahamas.

The Pointe also plans to dredge to make a harbor/marina so that will be additional landfill.

Well Marvin Dames and several others will definitely not see the walls of parliament again. Not only are police beating and killing innocent men under his watch. They are now beating and violating the women. And using water boarding, smothering and other torture techniques that are outlawed even against prisoners of war. And Minnis, too, sits in his high chair and allows it. Time for all innocent victims of these crimes to ban together and bring a class action lawsuit against the Minister of National Security, The Commissioner of Police and individual officers who can be identified as participating in these atrocities that are now at the highest level in the history of the Bahamas.

what about a situation where they made a customer change all the cables in their house only to find the problem was external.

So police men are now beating and torturing women? And violating their rights as females ? Being man handled by police men? Anthony Ferguson and Marvin Dames this puts more into question about you than just being police officers. Now your officers not only half killing the men with beating and shooting them dead with loads of bullets but now indecently violating the rights and privacy of women? Beating a woman like a dog Marvin Dames? A female Marvin Dames.A disgrace to your uniform and office and your mothers or wivesf or allowing it to continue to happen. To innocent women. The police are now cruel and barbaric and dangerous and deadly than the criminals both to humans and to animals, dogs more specifically. The public must stand united and bring these sick persons to justice. No one is above the law. This law enforcement team is probably the weakest and most disgraceful plank in the Minnis Administration and if Minnis doesn’t seek to clean it up and harness Marvin Dames and Anthony Ferguson in their deadly assault on the Bahamian public, it will cost Minnis dearly in the next election. Remove them forthwith.

Does this mean another family will be beaten and smothered by police?

still not funny or appropriate.. and that's based on common sense and decency..no thought police needed or baptism...simply common sense, but hey maybe you don't have that characteristic..common sense.

Just hope that no measures will be implemented to further restrict the access/use of the downtown/port area by Bahamians. And hopefully, the plans will incorporate the local 'peddlers hair braiders/ etc in a regulated and controlled manner that is complementary to the transformation that is expected to take place and not exclude Bahamians to the contrary. As ships grow larger and larger and become more self-sustaining, efforts must be made to not only draw more passengers off the ships but get them to spend more and ensure that The Bahamas and the Bahamian peoples dem benefit from these thousands of voyages to the country every year. An industry that is putting Billion$ in other people's pockets.
