Over-armed Deedy meets Ha'ole hating Elderts

JMHO, but 99% of time cops don't need guns and shouldn't carry them.

You apparently have no idea. Actually the 99% is probably correct if it's even 1% but you never know when that 1% will be. I've never fired a gun in the line of duty* but I've used it countless times: Armed robberies, bank robberies, burglaries, arresting suspects for violent felonies, major trafficking, armed kidnapping in progress (caught that one half asleep on my way home from Mids), murders, attempted murders, etc. Yep, most of the time I was answering dog barking calls or neighborhood dispute calls, etc. but... Granted I wasn't working on the Big Island. You want the cops to be unarmed???

I don't know anything about the supposed "the latest trigger happy HPD incident" or much about the Deedy trial, so I won't comment on those, but past experience causes me to suspect most don't have much of an idea as to what really happened.

edit
* Well I have shot some dogs, euthanized and otherwise, euthanized wounded deer and hogs and even shot a feral cow that kept wandering into traffic and couldn't be caught after numerous attempts.
