So if a suspect needs to get away from the cops, you just give him TO the cops. Got it.
HPD is an insatiable MONSTER that will eventually bankrupt the C&C and every taxpayer in it!!!
Mo beta shoot him dead next time. There needs to be an end to his blatant crimes time and time again. It’s cheaper to pay the suit his parents will bring on but then again that’d be cheaper than having to live with this criminal on the streets and housing em in OCCC.
Another stake in the heart of HPD. Incompetent and nothing will be done to this officer for falling asleep and letting this guy go free.
How did he escape? Did he just walk out?
Sounds like they took him to Queens Hospital for treatment and during that time he just bolted, ran out of the ER and hosptial into the Punchbowl area. No mention of this guy overpowering HPD or hospital staff. Could be the HPD officer watching him had a massive opu and when the guy ran he could not keep up and was not about to shoot the suspect trying to escape.
what happened to leg irons? SOP in my day.
That would make too much sense. Seems like officers these days are too lazy to take the time to put on the leg irons. You would think it should be a written policy and not optional. That officer Will probably get promoted. Heard it’s a prerequisite. Mess up & advance in the dept.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COP, DID HE GET REPRIMANDED??
Scary town side
So….where was the officer that took him to the hospital?
Eating in the break room – where else do HPD head straight for?
wonderful
Chief Kealoha, you gotta stop! You making me sick!
The Bad News: It’s been a stressful week for the Chief. The GOOD news: The Chief now has another cop to guard his mailbox.
He exceeds expectations? Lucky for the Chief the Commission’s expectations are low.
Can’t beat having the carpenters union boss in charge of the commission overseeing the chief.
Next time when a prisoner/detainee is out in public, put leg shackles. This not the first time a prisoner/detainee escaped at a courthouse, hospital, etc., from HPD and Sheriffs.
Sloppy
SHOULD TRANQUILIZE EM!!!
HPD-” I wen try grab heem, but the bugga was fas and took off like one fooball running back. You know how fast does buggas’ stay.”
Superman on steroids and drugs.
Maui
He’s working the takeout window at JOLLIBEE…
I guess now he get four retake warrants.
It hurts the eyes to look at his mugshot; someone really needs to learn how to focus a camera and adjust the exposure.
Someone is gonna get days off without pay for this screwup…..
Better work special duty on those days!
Ok PR team, kick into gear and make the dept look good. Lets see what the money paid for you guys can do.
They are in a huddle to discuss damage control just like they did last week.
The cop(s) responsible for the suspects escape were probably talking, texting, or surfing the internet on his/her/their smart phone(s).
This is how losers start their career with criminal justice system? Sad part he will sponge on society the rest of his life!
