Former Maui Police officers speak out about toxic and hostile work environment

[@sandcastles808hawaii7]

Maui Police Chief is the same officer that was in charge of investigating the 58 shooting victims of the Las Vegas country music concert....fact

[@johnnewguy3374]

Definitely a player for nwo I'm sure,he sketchy

[@exposinginsanity]

you can see plain as day in his face/mouth/ eyes...it's easily seen!!

[@mikebelnap3079]

We can’t have a functioning society with criminals in charge and Maui has a criminal as a police chief

[@exposinginsanity]

you can actually see it in his face. it's plain

[@WhaleCommunicators]

Mauia and all police forces around the US have tons of transgenders in serving the people of our world and not telling them they use a horrid black magic and they are not who they appear to be. So many are now makeing videos about this horrible fire. Wake Up World - they are making a mockery of humanity in your communities and all around our world - not just the US. I live in Colorado - between the black magic cops and military personnel involved in this darkness - Its hard to move ahead if you are good person here. Open your eyes humanity - KNOW TRUTH and be able to discern all the lies.

[@woaken]

Yes, he was also the police chief in Los Vegas when one of the worst most deadly shootings in Vegas happened and he destroyed Vegas by allowing the shooting to happen for so long and let so many people die, there was a massive uproar from the public there where they tried to charge him and he fled, all of a sudden he’s in Maui as the chief?! WTF! How does that work! Then the “fires”

[@icarealways-sv6qj]

Can we expect different.. who hired him.? Well it sounds like let go local officers and replace with His Vegas cop friends. It's a plan on hold !! Ha ha. Maui people being arrested by Vegas police on Hawaiian land... Beautiful just beautiful !!

[@icarealways-sv6qj]

Hawaiian Leaders what will it take for you to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.. GET OFF OUR LANDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

[@Hoycelolland]

If he treats his department this way imagine how he allows the bad cops to treat civilians. Fish rots from the head down.

[@billy1673]

Funny how this same command staff just caused the death of 1500 people due to their blatant incompetence.

[@HanaMana05]

This chief tends to attract tragedies. He was in vegas during that huge mass shooting at concert. And now he’s police chief in Maui and LAHINA is destroyed along with thousands of lives lost. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@thaimassage23]

Vegas + Maui = Holocaust

[@kmeccat]

My, My. I KNEW he had a very bad vibe! He comes across more like a criminal than a cop. I don't trust a word he says. WHO HIRED HIM, and WHY hasn't he been fired?!

[@Niewis]

I bet those cops that resigned have some interesting stories about him. So, one had to start taking anxiety medication, another lost weight, and the other called him a dictator. Sounds like some nasty psychological abuse going on there. He didn't lose his job though, did he? No, because the powers that be had the man they wanted in that job from the git-go. Even gave him a big raise and made him the official coroner too. The puzzle pieces are fitting together quite nicely on the Mr Las Vegas law man. Interesting indeed.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

It's impossible to get fired when you have friends at the very top.

[@Niewis]

@@Joe-mz6dc Exactly right!

[@Finnador]

Looks like this former Vegas Chief wants to update the old adage to; "what happens in Maui stays in Maui". I'm guessing this new chief will soon be on the receiving end of another old adage; "book him Dan-o".

[@ReadMachiavelli-gi3wk]

Time for a petition to remove the Chief. You tellin me we can’t find a respected woman/ man in the State of Hawaii??

[@jtabarejo]

We are only as strong as our weakest link. This chief was from mainland? Low morale and officers thinking about quitting is a serious problem. How can he deny these allegations? Best thing for Maui is he resign, or get fired. Hire a new chief, local from Maui.

[@lindsaydoke9308]

Excellent discernment sir. This was all planned. I am looking for the connection he has with the Hawaiian Electric Industries. I'm sure I will find it and then the pieces will fall into place.

The whole County seems to be a sewer of poor leadership, keystone cop behavior and a SERIOUS lack of leadership. Perhaps the voters should consider voting out the whole group. Something is WRONG on Maui, and i’m not talking about conspiracies. Beginning to understand the anger..A shame it took a disaster to recognize the chaos in leadership.

[@halmoore8558]

[@alexcarter8807]

Sounds like a mainland style police chief. How much damage will he be allowed to do to MPD before he's kicked out? Then it will take time to rebuild the department. Get rid of him now!

[@Vtwin60]

The weak link is Maui and it's joke of a professional police force. Everything is run like it's 1920 w the good old boy network. They don't like being called out and having to actually do their jobs for once.

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

Interesting! Another puzzle piece. I'm not sure what all the pieces mean just yet but it doesn't look like it's gonna be a pretty picture at all. The more I find out the worse things look.

"just following orders"......one cop directing traffic into the wrong direction. that PO probably was threatened and ORDERED to follow thru....OR ELSE.

[@gregcarter8656]

Some commenters always claiming "local" is better (than "mainland"), for police chief or whatever. UH's best football coach = June Jones, best QB = Colt Brennan, best RB = Gary Allen. Mainlanders. As for police chief, anybody remembers Chief KEALOHA? He's LOCAL, right? Local is guaranteed better? I agree that local experience and knowledge is good. But "the greatest threats are from WITHIN".

You may have a point about worker harder. He's probably more demanding than what they're used to. And of course the culture is totally different which means a culture clash between local and mainland mentality.

Do you see how it is all arbitrary and pointless without faith in GOD? Money itself loses all real value without faith in GOD....life itself loses all meaning without faith in GOD.....faith in GOD is what makes everything make sense and have meaning and priorities are what they are because of faith or lack thereof
