I did not know a helicopter could travel that far over open water... but logically I guess its precisely what the Coast Guard does all the time

Exactly

Lol. There've been quite a number of illegal landings to rescue stranded soldiers and citizens throughout history. It makes for good movies. "*Behind Enemy Lines*"

And the next thing these Bahamians talking about "*good*" gangs in Haiti need to stop. These guys are raping women and children and murdering and torturing men in the street. Theres nothing good about it.

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??
