Big Island Mayor
thought not local govt. - police officer shoots bar lady
now a city dep. prosecutor

this is an epidemic....

Its one thing after another.with the state and officials.

These "apologies" with all the "I learned my lesson and take full responsibility" crap from these guys is disgusting and total bullshit (Kenoi has done this numerous times with his DUI and other alcohol related special-treatment-non-arrests as well as his prior warnings not to use his government credit card for personal use). No one but the ignorant believe their lies for a second, except the feigned belief by their cronies and the judges who fail to REALLY hold them accountable (and by that I mean use the same standard they'd apply to you and me). No doubt Kimura (the cop whose revolver "accidentally"/"it just went off" shot the woman in the bar) will no doubt issue his mea culpa bullshit in the near future, carefully crafted to take responsibility but not admit any guilt so that his thin-blue-line "only ones" buddies get him a sweetheart deal that you or I could only dream of from the confines of our jail cell.

No consequence = no accountability

Where is justice for these who are exempt from the laws they pass for the rest of us?

Although this is sad and incredibly unfair, none of it surprises me.

Many police officers have no business being police officers.

Most politicians are just crooks with a title.
