"*police officers are not emergency medical drivers*"
I agree with you. I'm not certain why Wayne Munroe has had such an emotional response to what Marvin Dames said. Dames raised a legitimate concern, and if Wayne Munroe didnt hear a similar concern from the Commissioner she has failed her officers. The only response from Wayne Munroe should have been along the lines, yes we considered that, but here's why we thought this was the best option. There's something personal in the violent response.
My other concern was the ability of the police to remain impartial. I dont believe I've ever heard a case of emergency workers denying care, but I have heard read accounts here of police denying emergency workers access to injured persons. We dont need that. The reason why branches of armed forces arent allowed to participate in certain areas of civilian enforcement is mindset, what theyve been trained to do, and I'm not certain "our" police have a mindset to offer blind emergency assistance.
One thing is sure, once the govt puts forward a proposal you can bet Mickey and Donald duck, they are going to do whatever they want, even if they have to launch a series of fake consultations and surveys to appear like they're listening. So police ambulance drivers but no cameras for red lights and penalties for violators by govt house.
I wonder if the commissioner is aware she's being set up for replacement. At least that how it seems because nothing's changed and Rolle was removed so things could change, or so they say.
**It's actually the backhanded truth**. Until Perry Christie was elected, they supported the PLP even though their circumstances had not changed in 40 years. Still in outdoor toilets and crammed living conditions.
**But they are not the only ones, they're just the most stark**. Everybody in the commonwealth of the Bahamas, plp. fnm, dna, coi, is prisoner to the five year hamster wheel with seemingly no way out as the celebrities cell off bits and pieces of the country secretly and rake in millions for themselves through proximity to powerful insider information and govt contracts

No truer statement was ever spoken.
I've tried several options for purchasing fish, I gave up Montagu, I just could not put up with the rough service and associated behaviour. Tried fish houses, inevitably the quality of fish delivered would go down as the price went up. I remember when I was excited to purchase processed conch, I picked up two packets stored them thawed them at a later date. It wasnt until they thawed that I said these look kinda dark, sure enough smelled like spoiled meat. I no longer buy conch from that fish house or any fish house,
Bahamian businessmen appear to inherently have a "getting over no matter who you crook or disadvantage" mindset, they were mixing old spoiled conch with fresh conch for sales.
**Oh for an honest businessman who has empathy for other people not just his pocket**
Said before the entire world economy is upside down... for the moment. To believe we will feel no effects is to be somewhat blind. Everybody will be affected in some way by the mere fact that both the US and China are affected. The US dollar is down. The US stock market has lost six trillion dollars. Thousands of US citizens are losing jobs with more expected. Businesses are crying under the cost of inputs going up 150%, more jobs. Farmers are crying because theyve lost the buyer for their entire produce, more jobs.

"*This year’s conservative projections more accurately reflect current demand.”*
That's one spin.
I thought tourism projection for visitor numbers was upward. I believe just days ago there was a statement from one hotel that there were no signs of negative impacts on stop over visitors... "Possible".
