Raping and killing, theft, smuggling, drug and prostitution rings, just what is the oath of office these gov't officials swear to uphold??

It's not law and order, and it is certainly not to represent and serve the needs of the peoples of The Bahamas.

Really?
This gov’t cannot even build a hurricane shelter.
They got $1M from India last spring to complete the shelter on Abaco.
They announced in Sept and again in Nov of 2022 that the previous gov’t’s plan was “inadequate”.
Three weeks ago Storr had the identical complaint and his grand tour revealed they’ve done nothing in over a year.

Why would an off duty officer bring his weapon into a bar??

It seems that most folks except for crass individuals like Munroe, understand that respect must be earned and so the lack informs us.
Munroe umbrage in the US State Dept’s report stems from it’s unfavorable comparison to the previous administration.

Particular to the 2023 report are the lax efforts of the DOJ, DOL and DOI to identify, prosecute and curb observed abuses in departmental corruption, employer abuse towards foreign/migrant workers, and a general indifference. For ex. deporting any worker who submits a labour violation.
The US pointed out that this gov’t looks the other way on the forced labour of migrants/foreign workers, allowing employers to hide their permit info, confiscate their passports, and twice pointing to government contracts w/ Cuba for medical workers, labouring here likely against their will.
That Davis & co has gutted funds for victims by 51%, thus ensuring their likelihood of sticking around to testify, negligible.

Its the same corrupt playbook they used to line their pockets in previous administrations.
Perhaps Monroe &co should seek respect in some admiration society for despot governments?
I hear Trump heads one.

Columbus’ schemes for mining wealth from the Caribbean wiped out the Arawak, Lucayan and Taino peoples through overwork, torture, starvation, rape, infanticide, the list is endless let’s just call it genocide.
Why should he be celebrated as a hero?

Great, just what the Bahamas needs, a pilot licensed to fly again who pleaded guilty for his part in a scheme to illegally smuggle and distribute $1M in drugs yet didn’t even serve half of his sentence!
Corrupt officials and their spawn!

rosiepi says...

Before police enter a gated property shouldn’t they ascertain the situation first as a dog’s job is to protect their owner/home!
These officers should be investigated and censured for killing the dog, and for discharging their weapons when citizens and/or children are present!
This is madness!

rosiepi says...

Millions??
Those look like Police BMW 750s to me which go for considerably less than the 1250s at around $28k so that puts the cost of each bike at $40k???
Surely the RBPF doesn’t pay duty? And if so, whose pocketing the difference?

rosiepi says...

A novel conclusion on microchipping!
So Bahamians who cannot be bothered to neuter/spay and corral their animals are the same folks this guy expects to shell out $$ for a microchip?
The BHS does an excellent job using their limited resources wisely, why not give them the money instead of creating another corrupt layer of bureaucracy??
