Nassau, Bahamas — If you were driving on the East West Highway as we were on Sunday afternoon you would have by now fainted from fright. A police chase ended on the roadway as they overtook a vehicle forcing it to a stop. The officers then jumped out of their vehicle with weapons drawn demanding the occupants out.

At this time BP was pulling out our secret weapon [the camera] praying no one saw us and fired a bullet our way. YES IT WAS A DUMB THING FOR US TO DO, but who can miss a live holdup on a public road?

The situation however only waited for someone in that vehicle to say or do the wrong thing as police weapons were cocked and pointed with steady hands only waiting to pull the trigger. Had that driver made the wrong decision, blood would have flood into the streets Sunday and BP would have been right on the scene.

As we pulled up nearby the search session, the driver of the car could be heard threatening officers telling them, “I SEE ALL YALL FACE!” Boy, BP cannot ever be a police officer for those comments would have forced a shot to the head.
