The really troubling thing here is this reconsideration is actually being promoted as "thinking". Nothing about Haitis instability has changed. Haiti was in the middle of a guerilla warfare when the PM and the national security minister began talking about a "safe/low risk" deployment. Theres no such thing in a guerilla war. You go or dont go and you prepare yourself that someone could be captured or killed, to not do so and sell fairy tales is irresponsible.

I dont know. But when we discover why all food and TVs that show up in the Bahamas are foreign made we might be on to something

This is the 2nd officer found with an unlicensed firearm. If I were the commissioner I'd be very troubled. I wouldnt be talking about low morale from officers having to defend themselves in unusual shooting incidents as such inquiries are a normal practice around the world. And theres a remedy to exonnerate officers, bodycams. Nobody needs to be scratching their heads what we guh do. But why would an officer need an unlicensed firearm? The commissioner should be very concerned.

Exactly

I'm also puzzled why a policeman would need an unlicensed firearm ...

Yes I noticed. Also noticed that yesterday's story mentioned an "*alledged*" firearm. Then in same story said police had confiscated the weapon. Huh? How do you "confiscate" an alledged weapon? Then comments were disabled.... for the case of a man found with an illegal gun and ammunition??

Barbeque will be one in a long line of black leaders who rise to power on populist movements then gobble up the country's riches. I dont buy it. Not after all the killing and releasing all the prisoners, none of it makes sense

The black nationalism vs the white imperialist sounds good. Haiti is in the state ots in for 2 reasons. First an foremost an almost unending sequence of devastating natural disasters. Nobody caused it. It happened and they needed help. They could **not** help themselves. Second internal corruption. Just like the Bahamas, billions flow in but somehow get stuck right at the seat of power.. black power while the masses suffer poverty and higher and higher prices

"*Not only that you can’t cut it, if you mess with it and tamper with it, the signal goes off,” he said yesterday.*"

But I thought Metro also said when individuals attempt to tamper with devices they had a practice of notifying the police and the issue was police response time

Noone needed to "carry" the story.

An advisory from the US State Department to be vigilant on travel to The Bahamas, where 7 million US citizens vacation every year, based on a a dramatic rise in murders, doesnt need any help from any Bahamian to raise the volume of the loudspeaker.

The news reporters came to us.
