Former DC Police chief coming to HPD?

Re: Former DC Police chief coming to HPD?

So what are you saying, that "our" police force doesn't kick enough butt as it is with our Hawaii-born and Hawaii-raised recruits?

Isn't it bad enough that we're losing officers to mainland jurisdictions? Now our local recruits have to compete with overqualified mainland candidates?

Maybe if your County could figure out a way to pay your officers what they truly are worth as protectors of your lives and property, more of them wouldn't be lured up here. It's tough being a public servant when you put your life on the line and then have to work overtime in order to support your family. Maybe the reason why so many on the force are tempted to do as the latest round of cops caught with their hand in the cookie jar is because they are having a tough time making it on their salaries. And please don't give me the argument that "well, everybody else has to make do with the piddly salaries they make in Hawai'i." Puh-leeze! Those other people are not always in mortal danger, working all hours of the day and night, either.

If he joined your police force, I think some serious butt would get kicked.

Moose is no hero.

He did such a great job catching the sniper that how many were murdered? 10 people? More?

He was so focused on finding the "white" guys in the "white van" that he ignored evidence along the way involving "black" guys in an older model sedan. The case was finally solved by the FBI and a truck driver who found the car at a truck stop and blocked the black muslims in so they couldn't run.

Then he retires on 6000 a month pension.
Then he sues Ihilani for "discrimination".
Then he cashes in on his 5 minutes of fame by taking 170000 for writing a book about the murders.

He's probably looking for another sucker to sue. Govenments like HPD are always good. You always get a payout, right or wrong. And a black guy in an Asian police force is sure to find "discrimination".

I bet he sues within 6 months.

The guy is a "You fill in the blank"

Watch your wallet.

Gotta luv Hawaii..

The people are so nice.

So nice that they welcome and embrace corrupt dictators like Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos who raped and robbed their country.

So nice that they are the only state in the country that child molestor Michael Jackson had a concert following the first case where he paid the boy's family who he sexually abused 18 million to shut up.

So nice that a guy like Charles Moose who should be feared and loathed is welcomed as a hero.

A dictator, a child molestor and a scam artist.

Are Hawaii's people nice? Or are they "you fill in the blank"?

No, not to replace the current police chief but as a regular patrol officer.. Charles Moose was the most public face during the DC sniper shootings a couple of years ago. If he joined your police force, I think some serious butt would get kicked.

Interesting...
I had no idea that he'd moved to Hawaii, lived in my neck of the woods and had sued the Ihilani Resort. Something tells me he lives not quite as far west as I do!

I remember how impressed I was with him during that very high profile sniper case. It's hard to believe it's been about 4 years.

And wait, so he can't just come and gain a high position since he's a former chief? He has to go through the training as everyone else?

Yep! Juss like a new Babe. Wet behind da ears. No Special Treatment - what-so-evas! Nope! Das da rules.

Back to basic huh? It'd be nice seeing a "rookie cop" handle the situation more than the sergeant on the scene.

Maybe he can give HPD a morale boost when he comes and join the force.

Also, would be interesting in what would his classmates think and if any would be as famous as he is too?

Joke. Not as famous.
