Twelve years ago, my family moved to Makiki, only one block from Makiki District Park. The large park was one of the reasons we moved to the area with our two young boys.
After attending AYSO soccer games and city tennis lessons with my sons, we prohibited both boys from ever returning to the park without their father.
This decision was due to the drug addicts and perverts who seem to occupy the public restrooms at all hours. They loiter inside, sometimes passed out on the floor.
Perhaps the civil rights of that man were violated, and no one could disagree that the police officers acted unprofessionally (“HPD Opens in a new tab officers indicted for allegedly forcing man to lick Opens in a new taburinal Opens in a new tab,” Star-Advertiser, April 6). But what about the rights of taxpaying citizens who cannot use the public restrooms they pay for?
