in response to Punatickz (again) ....
his quote <<<<<The level of mistrust on the Big Island is a completely different beast, in a far, far more complicated political/cultural environment. Our concerns aren't simply "fuk da police u can't trust them" type of naive mentality you see on the mainland. It's more of a "uhhhh ok I better not stick my nose in this business unless I wanna end up in a puka or in the ocean" sort of mentality, or fearful.
Also when some of us locals read that police started cooperating after you threatened a law suit and/or threatened to bring in outside authorities, that pretty much makes sense to us and doesn't surprise locals at all really.>>>>>>


Speek for yourself please... the mistrust of Police by 'locals' is unfounded (dont prejudge, or at least use your OWN personal experience), please dont speak for other who ALSO live in PUNA... I usually dont like cops myself (living in NorCal for a while too), but the ones Ive met and dealt with here have been 100% professional, and the last two I talked to (only 2 months ago) could have easily became my friend if I met them out of uniform at a beach or somewhere... just regular kine people...
