The POLICE are the first responders, they could have given him a bly, or try to understand his actions and let him off with a warning, or even turned their heads just like they did for the tourist on the beach, but no they hate on the poor and the defenseless, just watch and take notice how differently the police interact with persons who are rich be they black or white, and even if you are white and poor they act differently, all with some form of likeability and respect. So because there is no middle class anymore, the middle class is now down-graded to poor, when it comes to the poor black citizens in the Bahamas (mainly Nassau ), we are treated by the police with hate, no respect, and contempt, and the ironic thing is after treating the poor citizens this way they themselves too must live amongst and be apart of the very citizens, the poor citizens that they hate on, show no respect for and take advantage off. shameful.

Now, all we need is a functioning Freedom Of Information Act, without one, the police can and will in certain situations that could be in their favor always find a reason why footages from the body or dash cameras can not be seen by the media and/or the public. Will we see accountability? Will we see transparency? The cameras are now in, so it's waiting and see time, only time will tell to see what the jury (the citizens) will have to say in the day and week to come.

Dear Mr. COVID-19, you just won't stop, now you are presumably the cause of an increase in divorces, one thing that's certain you are causing the truth to come to light and make everyone in any and all circumstances take note of themselves, their lives, their surroundings, their futures, be it economical, love, hate, spiritual, financial, in leadership, and so on and on. Yes, Mr. COVID-19, you are one bad mother-f$#%&r

Let's be clear the only group that the law doesn't apply to is the RBPF, no matter what they do wrong they are never held accountable or punished. Police were there when Ash was selling illegal liquor nothing happened to them, when they are proven wrong by the coroner in police shootings nothing happens to them, when young men are beaten with bats on camera at junkanoo nothing happens to them, now this, nothing happens to them they are never held accountable or punished. When persons are looking for food or water during the lockdown they are quick to lock them up and bring them before the courts. This country is joke. a banana democracy.

When you see a white Bahamian businessman expressing openly that they too may have to break the law to survive you know it's tough. Way to go, Mr. Albury, I'm with you. the country is not reaching a boiling point, the country is at a boiling point and ready to explode.

At this point in time, all the lockdowns and curfews in the world can not and will not get us back on the right track as before opening the border, just like ***all opportunities*** if you are not prepared when it comes, if you fall asleep when you have it, if it is not taken advantage off when you have it, it will be lost and the chance to get it back is long gone. When we opened the border and ran after money instead of health we lost the ***opportunity*** to stay healthy and now we are more in debt than before, the money we will now have to spend to ***get healthy***, we could have used that same money with closed borders to ***stay healthy***while enjoying the beach on days like today. 35 degrees F. The person or persons responsible for the terrible handling of our affairs (the Bahamas) should be held responsible and disciplined. Let's say someone owns a business e,g laundromat, doctor's office, airline, and their CEO loses on opportunities to keep the company running and healthy they will have a lot of explaining to do or like Trump likes to say "you're fired" they would be on their way out, gone.

Why are they blocking the policeman's face? if that was a civilian they would not have blocked the face out and what's going on with the body and dash cameras which were supposed to come into effect August 1st, these are some of the reasons why the average citizen has no respect for and do not trust or like the police. The tribune is nothing but a big scary cat they are fake, if the PM is caught doing wrong he should also be called out, NO-ONE should be above the law. The poor, unemployed, break and the hungry person is locked up, paraded in front of the camera and fined just for trying to survive ( looking for food and water ) and the protected are shielded and have their faces blocked out. The Bahamas will never be a ***first*** world country as long as we have ***third*** world thinkers and leaders. The outside world looks at us as a corrupt D-average banana boat third world s$$t-hole just looking for the right price to be sold. Waiting but not holding my breath to hear Mr Police Commissioner and Mr Defence Mimister's response

What is so amazing is that our leaders consult, listen to, and then take as credible views and information everyone else other than its citizens. What these experts are now saying is late information. We the citizens were telling and screaming this information loud and clear to our Leaders only to be ignored. So yet again we the citizens prove that we are smarter than any consultants they can ever hire and also smarter than them, so if we the citizen are D-Average that makes the Government an F-Average.

Point blank. The Bahamas NEEDS a new cash cow because this one has sailed. Oh Tribune can your people please find and use a different photo of Mr. Tourism Minister this one is very depressing to first look at and then read the article.

Please Mr. Minister of Tourism please don't speak or offer any kind of suggestions at this time your rush to bring in tourists in the country has us partly in this predicament, so please, please do us the Bahamian people a huge favor and zip-up ya lip, put ya mask on and be quiet, please.
