As a police office you are lied to just about every hour dealing with people making very bad / really stupid decisions. It gets harder and harder to be objective. If you were an officer and you saw a guy with an open containersbgo right through a stop sign while texting I think we’d agree we’d pull him over too. But what if he ignored you several times and it was obvious he’s a traffic nightmare waiting to happen? You might taze him too. I don’t think I would have wiggled the wires to cause more pain though. Of course I wasn’t there so who knows what really happened...
The big crime down island is bike theft. They're stolen by the dozens painted black, resold and stolen again. But a 120+ man force on a 2x4 island never stops the cycle (no pun intended). There's an ever growing homeless population that has made bicycle theft a thriving business. There are several yards over in Bahamas village where you can find dozens of black bicycles being 'chopped' and resold. The cops never lift a finger. It's a protected racket
burglary muggings. The tourists never come back for trial so why care? Try to file a police report! The make you stand in line outside of the locked station to fill out a form then wait at least an hour to speak to a detective through a bullet proof glass window - he's inside your out in the sun
a very effective way to dissuade citizens from reporting crime and stilling your crime stats
