Soon the entire State will be able to read articles about Officers misconduct and their names will be available for all to view. The union doesn't want that to happen but Hawaii needs to follow States that show officers making headlines.

True, and more board up because of riots, as my friend had a gig boarding up a few of the stores quickly at Ala Moana center and Waikiki. Construction didn't get laid off, which was good for him.

Exactly. All the big hotels have also boarded themselves up. Cars with blue lights on top are parked by them every night. Guards in front. Started when the 14-day quarantine slashed the supply of visitors. Nothing to do with the marches.

Reminds me of the time I went to the Philippines a long time ago. Marcos had instituted martial law and curfew. ALL the stores and bars had their own guard out front. And of course there were gated communities with their own guards.

Its okay to defund popo. Keep in mind this means no 911, no quick response to cries for help, no programs to help kids. No PAL leagues, nothing.

Have nots going have less.

The fake news was in full swing with the weekend riots. You are correct, nobody reports on all the stores that took matters into their own hands to mitigate the broken glass and, well, blatant criminal activity so widespread and hard to say they not part of the same. Many, many stores along walks and Ala Moana boarded up and posted enforcement. Never saw a single report on this. Maybe, just maybe, the president has some cred calling out the totally biased media.

I, too, initially reacted negatively to a call to "defund the police". But the idea is that a lot of the law enforcement actions that we ask police to perform are not or should not be considered "criminal". One of the biggest issues is the criminal-ization of drug use. Back in the 70's and 80's gov't stance was to look at drug use as a criminal problem as apposed to a health / disease problem. So we are sending police to arrest addicts for possession instead of sending social workers to help treat them. Perhaps the same approach to should be taken with our hobby. If the real concern is for the safety and dignity of the sex worker, then send social workers and health inspectors to check out massage parlors instead of cops. And decriminalize the industry.

This has happened in the past. HPD used to issue parking citations. They still do, but for the most part parking clerks do that now.

Me personally, I hate HFD traffic enforcement. Why don't they just use cameras? If you get too many tickets for speeding, then a traffic clerk installs a GPS in your vehicle.

Why send cops for noise violations? Should be building inspectors. Maybe have HFD respond to those, since building / fire code / safety enforcement should be their responsibility.

Maybe HPD shouldn't be the FIRST RESPONDER for alot of these issues. Only the second responder when safety and imminent danger requires an elevated response.

"Defund the police" is probably a misnomer. A better term would be to "reallocate" the police.

With 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's INCARCERATED population, the call really is to decriminalize alot of behavior in the USA, and do it fairly.

Got to use public pressure to get the police unions to reduce their membership and membership fee payers.

GG.

They said talk to the Mayor talk to the Governor, we're short staffed. Imagine you're in your favorite strip club or Korean bar and a group of knuckleheads start fighting. It's too much for security to handle and no police to call. I don't know about you but I don't go to these places to fight. Too old to do MMA fight night with them.

Just think of a city without a police dept, crimes would raise, properties value would drop like a rock cause people would just move out without any police protection. Vigilantism justice and citizens would take the matter of their own hands. People likes to defund the police dept have no logic to it, just some crazy idea!
