Just realized this announcement was a red herring to hide the fact that they have wasted money buying cars in this economy! This kind of deception is a new low!

... if we are number one in community policing it makes me wonder what other countries are doing!

Its sad when so few can wreak havoc on so many and continue to live!

... those boat captains who smuggle Haitians seem to do a good job, but they almost never seem to be able to catch them! That alone should make them hirable for the RBDF.

We should make them sail Haitian sloops, those never seem to run aground and have built in stealth capabilities!

What's the point of becoming a republic, a pig in a dress is still a pig!
Until we accept that all political systems are man made and therefore subject to being corrupted for the benefit of a few very little will change. What we need are leaders who actually have character, integrity and the national interest at heart not merely those who project the image that they do!

"Nearby, a new shanty town is growing, this time with solid concrete block homes and modern metal roofs. No one seems to know what to do about what they call “the problem", meaning **poor people of diverse backgrounds, including Haitian, essential to the work force,** but now homeless after Dorian swept out to sea the former shanty towns where they lived and where their micro-businesses flourished."

Very politically correct isn't she! What we need is a policy of no tolerance of illegality or criminality on that island!

@Chucky ... how did our existence or life itself come about if not by creation? Believing in macro-evolution is the equivalent of believing in the statistical likelihood of a loaf of bread gradually developing on its own if all ingredients are present for a long enough period of time!

BTW what does your statement have to do with advancing as a nation? If I remember correctly this nation was much better off when people practiced the beliefs of the "supreme being". People had more character and we had stronger communities!!

Our governments flounder and make poor decisions in good times so who can expect them to excel in decision making during times of crisis?

Order should have been imposed from day one as RBDF and RBPF took control of that disaster zone and the fact that they didn't is a dereliction of duty, incompetence or a mixture of the two! Maybe they lack the training to handle crisis situations. Our governments are always reactive and never proactive with every situation and always with a truckload of excuses!!
