Agreed, life is about balance. Some people will defend the police and say... *why you taking the side of low-down criminals*? Others will call for investigations into police behavior and call for some officers to be fired.<br/><br/>
But it's about **balance**. Police have a right to defend themselves **if** their life is at risk. <br/>
But citizens have a right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty. The way police beat **suspects** who are under arrest is unacceptable. But officers in charge turn a blind eye.<br/><br/>I can never forget that the father of the 3 year old who was abducted said how the police beat him to try to get him to confess. <br/>
Then it turned out it was a woman with mental issues abducting children. I agree that an independent body needs to investigate police. There is too much corruption right now and too many cover-ups. SMH

Very sad, very sad. These no good murderers don't care who's caught in the crossfire. Just snatched that little child's life away for no reason. This criminal should get the book, the whip, the needle, the ***everything*** thrown at him. SMH

Sure you will. I really believe you, just as they said who came before you!

Well said SP. I doubt any protest will happen here. We as Bahamians are too complacent!

Truly, for too long black people have been killed over there without penalty. Unarmed, jogging, walking, breathing... it seems there is no rhyme or reason...<br/>
Never any justice for these families. I don't support violence, but the peaceful protests I totally support. Enough is enough with the killing of black people without penalty!!<br/><br/>
In the midst of that, they arrested the black CNN reporter, then another reporter who was white (also from CNN) who was reporting a block away -said the police was very polite to him. Typical!!! SMH

I think anyone can empathize with what the people of Abaco are going through. You can hear and understand the frustration. However, **violence or threatening violence is not the answer**. <br/><br/>
Organize yourselves in a legal way to get your voices heard. Get the media involved. You will be taken more seriously and respected more for the most part.

Minnis is out of his mind. Why extend the lockdown? What difference will that make? Someone needs to explain the method to this madness!! Or is he just set on destroying the country. SMH

So true.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Interesting points... **Remdesivir** is a good place to start with treatment according to Dr. Fauci. They also said patients on blood thinners recover better (not sure if this is because they said a large percentage of those who die end up with an enlarged heart).
