The people are too beaten down. They don't realize that the government is their employee not employer or master. I gave up on the people banding together for their rights when the government legalized gambling despite the people voting against it. And we just rolled over and let it happen.

This political mafia class is having a jolly ole time enriching themselves on the backs of Bahamian suffering.

lol, what's new? It's terrible. When will we wake up?

*"He lift the dog up and put him on his shoulder and brought him out to the front area. I thought that was so profound. I thought it was an excellent initiative by the handler."*

He's getting leadership inspiration from the training of a dog? Wow. A dog doesn't get a salary to spend however they please.
Government employees are rewarded by their salaries, pensions and benefits. Also as civil servants, they should get intrinsic and personal satisfaction from serving the community. Otherwise, why did they apply to be a civil servant?
Any bonuses should be for improving the community. Not for performing arrests the basic tasks of the job. The goal should be to get us to the point of not needing arrests because the community is living in peace and harmony.

Are we going to arrest ourselves to a crimeless society? Is that how we get there? Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their lives. I never heard of or met anyone whose life was positively transformed thanks to being arrested. And prison only seems to damage people more creating lifetime criminals.

This guy should be fired. Not leading impressionable young officers.

Why do we expend Bahamian public resources on finding illegal drugs? Those drugs are in transit and the movement of drugs adds money to our economy.

Focus public resources on issues that have the maximum benefit to the average Bahamian life.

We're still brainwashed by the USA President Nixon's "war on drugs" from 1971. Which was later proven to have an anti-black agenda.

Our first black prime minister Mr. Pindling already addressed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCoWgiO…

Focus on improving the average Bahamian life. Instead of treating the average black and poor Bahamian as criminals and a nuisance. Reward officers for community-building activities. Treat arrests of the average Bahamian as a tragedy that we didn't teach, mentor, and provide them reasonable opportunities to live a lawful life. The majority of Bahamian criminals are doing so because they don't have a better alternative.

I agree. What's there to consider? Tourists are visiting because of our environment. This is deleterious to the country's primary industry.

Reject this blame game. We need the current leaders to focus on what they will do and do it!
Not try to distract and waste time blaming others.

Build new. In a less congested area. Keep the current location for emergencies.

All talk. People don't change. If we want change the people must vote for leaders who haven't been indoctrinated by the political class. What reason does the political class have to change? They get paid and prosper regardless. There is no incentive for them to put in the work and take on the risk to make changes. If we want improvements we should demand freedom of information. All government activities should be documented a posted publicly so they can be held accountable. All contracts and deals should be publically posted for a competitive bidding process open to all. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to use the country's resources to enrich themselves or increase their personal power. Politicians' salaries should be capped at the country's average wage. Then give them the opportunity to earn performance bonuses based on KPIs the people care about. For example reduction in poverty, reduced murders, increase in the average grades. This incentivizes them to actually make improvements because if they do they get paid more.

There is significant corruption and organized crime when officers are the targets.

They said he's being kept in the medical unit. Why? Seems special to me.

They'll find some reason to keep him out of the general prison population. We'll probably never know. Meanwhile, black Bahamians arrested for weed are stuck in cells with 9 other men using a bucket as a toilet.
