Police brutality, illegal arrest, cover-up claimed

[Hunt Stoddard]

I've wondered whether the current trend in bad relations between cops and community was ever going to come to the islands. Perhaps it's already on Oahu. Hopefully not. There is true animosity between the police and citizens on the mainland, built by decades of bad cop behavior. Trust me, I was there to experience some of it. The chickens have come home to roost. It's truly in the best interest of the police to stop and correct it before it begins. It's hard to regain trust after it's been lost.
