The incident of an officer of the Barbados Police Service (BPS) lashing a member of the public with his baton is reported to be under investigation by the BPS. In the past when similar incidents have been investigated by the police the outcome has been as elusive as the one promised by Prime Minister Mia Mottley regarding the HOPE project.

“But, I’ll ask you, do you having any formal training in investigation planning and litigation methodologies, questioning suspects, report writing and specialised investigation techniques, or have you ever investigated any matter?”
A small paragraph but a you are making major point here. Allow me to play with it in my own way.
It does not amuse, amaze or surprise me when some believe that you must be a food nutritionist to speak of nutrition, a doctor to speak of medicine, a …
It is elitist nonsense, usually an indication that some find it difficult to hold their ground when questioned. They then use their education as if it is a cudgel and try to bludgeon you to death with qualifications. A sure sign that they have reached their limit.
You use the phrase “my friend”. Allow me to use it as well.
My friend, politeness is often seen as a sign of weakness. Make certain that you are on solid ground and come out whacking. You may hit a friend or two but most will know that you are ready to rumble. Save time, save pain, step far down the crease and swing.
Perhaps, one day I will be able to say ‘My gladiator friend’s.

Nothing funnier than arm chair brass bowls – who have never even seen a real life fight – far less having been ROUTINELY called to intervene wherever idiots are in conflict… pontificating about what ACTUAL officers should or should not do…
Well…actually there ARE some other things even funnier…
Like…Poor, scrunting, arm-chair brass bowls, barely surviving from paycheck to paycheck – pontificating on how complex national business and finances should to be managed…
LOL – Can barely feed their own family – but on Brass Tacks every damn day talking shiite.
or…
Pot-bellied brass bowls – overwhelmed with NCDs, who can’t botch a peg – but who know all the answers to achieving Olympic success.But funniest of all is the enigma of Bushie’s pal Pacha…
Who understands many of the complexities of modern life- but who, AT THE SAME TIME, continues to FAIL to grasp the BEAUTY of God’s creation and the complete relevance of that mystical manual called the ‘Bible’….What a time…

Indeed, there is something funnier – a man who sees a fight where there is none.

@Bush Tea
What does your comment have to do with a policeman lashing a person with a baton seemingly while not under threat? How is his action different to Sonya Massey in the US?
Be careful what you defend.

“What does your comment have to do with a policeman lashing a person with a baton seemingly while not under threat?”
Permit me to be completely “OPEN” about how we have allowed the system to become a “RUN-AWAY FREIGHT TRAIN” – where we as “PARENTS” are no longer “OVERSEERS” of the progeny that God has bequeathed to us…
The reason why the “STATE” apparatus must now resort to “BANTON JUSTICE” – a harbingers of the distant past – where our people had to be beaten into shape in order to follow the dictates of “MASSA” & as a result, the “EPIGENETICS” has seen the perpetuation of a stereotype that morphs right down into 2024!!!
If we had handled our kids “PROPERLY” by exercising “SERIOUS DISCIPLINE” – “GUN VIOLENCE”; “THE STREET GOSPEL OF ANGST”, & “THE LOVE OF MONEY” by any means necessary, results in “MURDER”, GANGSTAZ & A BROKEN SOCIETY” – where our youths are now an endangered species!!!
The “HOLY SCRIPTURES” declare: “SPARE THE ROD – SPOIL THE CHILD: BEAT THE HELL OUTTA’ EM & SAVE THEIR SOUL FROM HELL” but let it be engendered by our “LOVE 4 ‘EM”!!!
David, I am quite OK* with “NECESSARY VIOLENCE” (not advocating “THUGGERY”), but responsible “VIOLENCE” as a “MEANS TO A SOLID END”. Why? When our kids no longer accept the rules -“ANCIENTLY” we took them outside the walls of city & the “ELDERS” stoned them to death to avert “DAMNATION” falling on everyone else!!!
If my son (thank God I had none) stepped outta’ line & “REFUSED” discipline through the spoke word – after a couple warnings: take his “BACKSIDE” & “WHOOP” him in front of his schoolmates; in front the church members or wherever, “SHAME” will bring him to his senses! if all else “FAILS” – “DEPORT HIS ARSE” to another country & treat him as a “PRODIGAL SOJOURNER”!!!
Sadly, the 21st century world we live in, wants to make you believe that a parent’s “RIGHT” to “CHASTIZE” is now “REMOVED” – giving the “STATE” license to “LOCK ‘ME UP”, “TAZE ‘EM; “BATON ‘EM OVER THE HEAD”; “PUT A KNEE ON THEIR NECKS” & finally, “SHOOT ‘EM IN THE HEAD OR ANY OTHER PART OF THEIR USELESS BODIES”!!!
#WhatDumbedDownPhilosophy
#WhatKindaStrangeWorldIsThisIf we cannot “WIN THEM BY LOVE” – then we have to “CUT THEM DOWN 2 SIZE” for them to see the folly of their ways!!! Beat ’em & “SAVE THEIR SOULS FROM HELL” (both in the society & the pits of sulphur)!!!
Barbados would hardly have “SENSELESS MURDERS” if “ALL THE GANGSTAZ WE DRAGGED OFF IN PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKES” just as El Salvador’s PREZ Bukele did over the last 3 years!!!
YOU SEE YOUR LEADERS HAVE NO BALLS – THEY ARE JUST ALL TALK!!!
Put the “FOOKERS” in jails (with or without “TRIALS”) and let them “ROT” there for many, many moons!!!
Guaranteed, the society would “SUDDENLY” become “BLISSFUL” overnite!!!

The only necessary violence is self-defence.

Pearls to swine…. Boss.There is a way that seems right to brass bowls, but the RESULT is that it ends in debt, and crime, and suicide, and chaos… and death.

“THANK YOU, BIG BRUH!!!
I appreciate your candour, “COMMONSENSE” & above all, your “WISDOM” in matters pertaining to how “EVERYTHING” that we (HUMANS) ought to follow as a “BLUEPRINT”, has been written down for our admonition in “THE HOLY SCRIPTURES”, but postmodern “MAN” treats it as “FICTITIOUS DRIVEL”, because it “RATTLES” their sensibilities!!!
Today, it is not “FASHIONABLE” to “BEAT, CHASTISE OR CAJOLE A CHILD”, (even after explaining to the “TOT”): “Look, Daddy is going to have to punish you for what you did, because you have been warned several times, but you have decided to disobey – so I am going to give you 4 lashes with your own belt! It will hurt you a bit, but because I love you so much, this is my only course of action that is left”!!!
Forget “CHASTISEMENT” with the rod, Bushie – we can’t even scold them with “STRONG LANGUAGE”, ( #NotCussing ), without some “DAMN FOOL” jumping into the fray to defend the indefensible, (as if it is their child & their 5 cents worth amounts to a hill of beans)!!!
WIFEY* & I raised 2 daughters & the eldest one – I never had to speak to her “ONE DAY” in her short life about anything pertaining to discipline. The younger “ONE”, on the other hand, she was the “OPPOSITE” & most people don’t know that I got a “CRIMINAL RECORD” in Britain (finger-printed, “MUG-SHOT” & “DNA SWABBED”) for putting a rod on her backside after returning home with my QUEEN*, tired after a 2 month holiday to discover she brought some “GUY” into her home sanctuary!!!
She was 15 at the time (or almost 15 – don’t choose to remember such frivolous details) & I sent her to pick a rod from the cherry tree in the backyard – took off the leaves & had her bend over & whipped her backside – as they did back in the day in “BARBADOS”, when the Headmaster would beat your behind for disrespectfully stepping outta’ line or whatever the issue was then!!!
She went to school 2 days later, & could NOT* sit on her #TooToo!!! She told her best friend what had happened & the girl reported the matter to the Principal & the rest is history!!!
Later that afternoon, 2 policemen & some woman from “CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES” ran the door bell & “ARRESTED YOUR BOY”!!!
At the police station, I sat (without my lawyer) as I did not need “DEFENSE” from anyone – for “CHRIST” has always been my “DEFENDER” & I have a “BIG ‘OLE’ MOUTH” on me that will “PREACH LIKE PAUL” anywhere, anytime – to anyone (regardless of the circumstances) – because I have ZERO FEAR” of consequences!!! “ALL MEN DIE” – well, “EXCEPT” the 144,000 (Rev 7 & 14)
After a 4-hour “INTERVIEW” #UnderCaution (being recorded) I drove those 2 interviewing officer “STARK RAVING BONKERS” with a “VERBAL DISSERTATION” on Black Caribbean Culture, Black Indigenous Historicity, #ReligiousValues based on #SoundChristianEthics; psycho-sociological praxis & the “MADNESS” of modern British society – on & on! I spewed a verbal “RANT” that was worthy of an “ACADEMY AWARD PERFORMANCE” – but then, I was “YOUNGER” & had a “MESSIANIC COMPLEX” (whatever that means)!!!
My precious WIFEY* still tells “EVERYONE” in the “CHURCH” & in the “CHAPEL” (“if you don’t that man 2 “PREACH” – “IGNORE HIM” – at your own peril or just leave him alone, because the man has no “FILTERS” & is completely “UNAPOLOGETIC”)!!!
FOLKS STILL HAVE NOT LEARNED!!! But then, who does???
Anyway, Big Bruh, I will take you “GODLY ADVICE” – “I WILL DESIST FROM CASTING MY PEARLS BEFORE SWINE – LEST THEY TURN & TRY 2 REND YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT…” (for sometimes “SILENCE IS INDEED GOLDEN)
Final thought, after 18 years of the above “DEBACLE” with my daughter & the po_LICE* – one of WIFEY’S best friends, who is a solicitor, has said to her that I have serious case against the #POPO – as they had NO* right to remove my daughter from the home, in the manner they did – where she stated the “CASE LAW” – giving me grounds for a “MAJOR LAWSUIT”, all these years later!!!
#LifeIsABitch, eh???
I am currently “WEIGHING MY ACTIONS GOING FORWARD”!!!
#BeBlessed
#Continue2Inspire – &…
#LookUP* – “REDEMPTION” draws nigh -
@TB
You should consider yourself lucky because in the UK you have some leniency administering corporal punishment? When in Rome do as the Romans. Good thing you didn’t take up residence in Sweden, you would have been familiar with orange garb.
-
Since when did the threat of ‘orange garb’ relate to wisdom, righteousness, fairness or even common sense Boss?
Recall Mandela, Garvey, MLK.. ??
Shiite! we had a fella who was crucified for being perfect….If anything, there is a CLEAR correlation between doing the RIGHT thing, ..and having to wear the ‘orange garb’… or worse…
Those who need to have NO FEAR of such garb tend to be associated with such matters as CLICO, Steal Housing, HOPE projects and Gaza genocides…
So can you say when and where this changed?

A question* for _ _ _ _ aka the Khristian Karma Man
Is the person who got slapped in the face and hit with beating stick by Bobby Babylon a sign of Karma
Or is the resulting Police investigation of Bobby Blue
a sign of Karma in f u l l _ e f f e c t(*) this a deeper question for the one who professes a deeper understanding of yogic philosophies and the universe and has progressed from beginner student to intermediate to advanced to master to become the BU Guru
Side note:
Dharma is a Sanskrit word that is a path of righteousness. The classical meaning of Dharma is “to hold, maintain, keep.” In Hinduism, Dharma means the behavior that makes life and the Universe possible with RTA, the order. A moral law guides one’s life when combined with spiritual discipline. Dharma in Buddhism means cosmic law and order. It is the second gem of three jewels – Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. In Buddhism, Dharma is applied to the teachings of Lord Buddha. In Jainism, Dharma refers to belief and teaching that leads to the moral transformation of human beings.Ṛta ( “order, rule; truth; logos”) is the principle of natural order which regulates and coordinates the operation of the universe and everything within it.
It is believed that Dharma is the foundation of all human goals which refers to obligations, conduct, as well as moral duties. It is described as the moral laws of the universe and without Dharma (law of being), things cannot exist. All human beings must accept and respect so that law and order can be sustained in the world.
“Nothing is higher than Dharma. The weak overcomes the stronger by Dharma, as over a king. Truly that Dharma is the Truth (Satya); Therefore, when a man speaks the Truth, they say, “He speaks the Dharma”; and if he speaks Dharma, they say, “He speaks the Truth!” For both are one.”
It is also believed that the gods, particularly Indra, hold the order from disorder, maintaining the law and order that are believed to be the actions of Dharma.
“O Indra, lead us on the path of RTA, on the right path over all evils.”

Gonna get cuss twice….
I see you are at it again. I can tell when you get good stuff.If a child’s but is hurting after two days, then you have done too much.

@blogmaster
A next useful statistics that we can keep track of is the number of shooting incidents/ shooting incidents without someone dying.I accept the post of consultant (if offered).
-
The problem is that there is no official database, information must be scraped from traditional sources. Many shooting incidents are not reported.
-
“I see you are at it again. I can tell when you get good stuff.”
You don’t smoke weed but are obsessed by it and always make smart ass comments that are never smart, do you LOL and wet yourself at your snide jokes
I need Donna to bitch slap your face like a Policewoman

I only use such violence as is necessary for self-defence, Dub.
There is a way that seems right to old men that did not work well for centuries, and yet they cling to it as though their very lives depend on it.
These old geezers would continue to attempt control by violence and the threat of violence, forgetting that this has been the way it has always been. Didn’t work before. Will not work now.
Violence only begets violence.
Police were beating suspects unmercifully forever in Barbados. It is only the cell phone cameras that are making it visible to all.
And yet we seem to have bred double and triple the number of violent criminals.
Go figure!
Showing up with a few “brass bowls” in one’s mouth does not make one a sage. And it does not end any discussion!

Barbados men have an insecurity complex with underdeveloped third world slow motion brains and in their little minds they need to think they wear the pants and not the panties in their relationships with women
Btw
This soul, country, folk, reggae and blues song reminded me of you

Dub,
Not all of them. More so the old men.
Not only Barbados or the so-called third world.
This is and has been a global problem.

“More so the old men.

If you probe the minds of BU men who are well old something in quite not right with them which tastes like Kool-Aid for the analysts, I don’t fabricate it, ayy, most of y’all be fakin’, ayy I stay modest ’bout it, ayy, she elaborate it, ayy

“sit down, be humble” aged well
I get way too petty once you let me do the extras
Pull up on your block, then break it down, we playin’ Tetris
A.m. to the p.m., p.m. to the a.m., funk
Eat up your per diem, you just gotta hate ’em, funkWatch my soul speak, you let the meds talk, ayy
If I kill a, uhm, it won’t be the alcohol, ayy
I’m the realest, uhm, after all
Tell ’em, be humble (hol’ up)
Sit down (hol’ up, hol’ up, lil’) -

We’re just licking a cup I said,
Cool down your temper…Mr. Cop
Cool Down now

I was about to compliment my hero (000) on the quality of his posts this morning and excellent choice of songs but then I noticed he has formed an ‘unholy’ alliance.
I, who supports freedom of expression and empowerment of women must join the call for his banning.
Note to 000… You can support women in their struggle without betraying or attacking the brotherhood of old men.
Note to X, set him free
Wishing everyone a great day.

Older does not necessarily mean wiser inevitably as people grow older changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people notice that they don’t remember information as well as they once did and aren’t able to recall it as quickly. They may also occasionally misplace things or forget to pay a bill.
Memory changes with age and some people don’t mellow with age like xo brandy they become more extreme in their views.I Wear My Slanders / If You Don’t Mind,
I’ll wear my slanders to your party
If you don’t mind
I’ll grow my hair in any kind of style
All I want to say is that my heart is clean
Don’t you, don’t you know just what I mean?
Mean….If you don’t mind
If you don’t mind
Oooh baby!I’ll drink a touch of brandy
If you don’t mindIs not that I like the stuff
But something is on my mind
All I Wanna say is just give me a chance
Let me find a girl and enjoy this dance
Dance…..If you don’t mind
If you don’t mind
Oooh baby!All I wanna say is just give me a chance
Let me find a girl and enjoy this dance
Dance….My clothes is torn and tatter
I pay that no mind
My soul is clean and untamper
If you don’t mind
