I was concerned to read press reports that my letter to members of the Coalition to Protect Clifton Bay, which described a police raid on my home in July 2010, had caused offence to Commissioner Ellison Greenslade.<\/p>\nI was concerned to read press reports that my letter to members of the Coalition to Protect Clifton Bay, which described a police raid on my home in July 2010, had caused offence to Commissioner Ellison Greenslade.<\/p>\n
That was certainly not my intention.<\/p>\n
On reading my letter again, I can see how the phrase \u201cpolice\u2019s terrorist raid of my home\u201d could be misinterpreted, especially if read in isolation.<\/p>\n
I had understood that the policemen carrying out the raid were from the Anti-Terrorist squad, hence my references to the \u201cPolice anti-terrorist squad\u201d and to \u201cdetectives from the terrorist squad\u201d earlier in the text of the letter.<\/p>\n
It was an editing error, for which I take full responsibility to not include the word \u201csquad\u201d or \u201canti-\u201d to qualify the anti-terrorist outfit, as I had done twice previously.<\/p>\n
It was certainly never my intention to accuse any members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force of being terrorists and I apologise for any offence that my poor phrasing error may have caused.<\/p>\n
Indeed, in my letter I refer to the commendable ways in which the Police acted in a speedy manner to rectify the unfortunate situation.<\/p>\n
I very much hope that this clarifies the situation and emphasise again I did not intend to cause any offence to the hard-working and admirable Royal Bahamas Police Force. I have communicated similarly directly to the Commissioner.<\/p>\n
