Bahamas Judge Rules Police Force Unlawful

A Bahamian judge just delivered a landmark ruling in the case of Demetrius Pyfrom-Major, who was arrested for stealing a car battery — a minor charge that turned deadly. While in police custody, Pyfrom-Major claims he was violently assaulted, suffering a dislocated pelvis and broken hip, forcing an airlift and ongoing recovery on crutches. The court rejected the police’s claim that injuries resulted from resisting arrest, instead finding the force used was unlawful and excessive. This ruling sends a powerful message: even in custody, citizens deserve dignity and protection under the law — and accountability for those who violate it.
