My Turn: OHA, protesters display hypocrisy at its finest
The complaint filed against the Hawaii Police Department was a great call by Former Lieutenant Juergen Canda. Taxpayers will have absolutely no problem voiding out that bill. HPD hasnt been doing their job anyway. Too much conflict of interest with the protesters. And if you havent noticed, OHA, its beneficiaries, along with all their native rights are above the law. We are a fake state according to the protesters. Yet, they continue to hold the rights of U.S. citizenship. And continue to work for state and federal jobs.
