I'd rather have tough policing in Waikiki than a bunch of rowdy drunks disturbing the peace and causing mayhem for everyone else. Good to see HPD letting these people know this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated.
Only if HPD can differentiate between tough policing and abusive policing. Telling some one to leave and then arresting him as he turns his back to leave is abusive. It’s like the police saying they are not detaining or arresting you but will not let you leave until they ask you questions and you to provide ID. If you try to leave, they will arrest you for obstruction, interfering with a police investigation, and resisting arrest. I wonder if the police had their cameras on?
Based on behavior, Suspect is not local.
@@CeasarBergonia And you’ve obviously been a Police Officer and have done the job?? I highly doubt it. They were given an order to leave the area. Did they leave, or continue to obstruct and break the law? Oh wait, you obviously would have done a better job at “talking” your way to a bunch of intoxicated and unruly individuals to kindly leave and disperse the area right? You would’ve said “pretty please” and they would’ve left right? 🤣🤣
@@maxfit68906 why didn’t the police arrest him right away if he was rowdy and disturbing the peace? Why talk and play games? The police statement “you have 2 sec to leave” and as the person walks away “your under arrest” was a stupid abusive FU game. The police should have waited until the person turned back around to face the police. I agree with you that the person behavior should not be tolerated, but the police can’t play games because it will cost tax payer money defending a civil lawsuit, which in this case the person may win. The police need to know the difference between tough law enforcement and abusive law enforcement, in this case the fat cop doesn’t know the difference and it’s going to cost the tax payers. Btw I never worked as a Police officer but I was selected as a Juror. You now the person he gets to vote if a person is not guilty or if the HPD violated someone rights.
@@maxfit68906 I agree. This ceasar sounds like a troublemaker. Anyone who doesn't like , admire and respect law enforcement is always a law breaker and a menace to society. Lock 'em up.
When police says "stop", you should stop. When police says "leave", you should leave. Very simple.
Not! Police job is to inforce laws in the book! Not make up there own laws for there own gain or image boost!
@@jayare6872 they took away the man's liquor and just told him to leave from the short clip we could see. the man chose to stay and argue with the officer, what personal gain did the officer have?
Unfortunately they weren’t taught this by their parents and the outcome is evident.
@@jayare6872 Maybe you should invite these people into your home since you feel so compassionate and see how they behave.
@@maxfit68906
I kinda see what you mean but, remember the kid who shot and tried to rob someone on tantalis who had a parent working for police? And the cop son whom was stealing or something? Do you really believe the kids are our future? Hmmm.....
You do know that the Bible says that son will go against father, daughter against mother, brother agains sister, sister against sister and on and on.....
Now should you put your faith in "Family"?
But you probably don't believe in the Bible!
So......It is what it is!
The police officers did their job. Resisting arrest will result in a take down.
Suspect was NOT yet handcuffed but report says he was already cuffed on one hand but I don't see that so they took him to the ground.
No doubt!
Sorry that was not resistance the officer told him to walk away and he did...
@@GokuVsLukeKane2185 It looks like he said something to the Officer
@@rryan8005 lol 😆 it looks like he said something are you seriously going down that 🕳 hole...I clearly hear and see what takes place you may need to watch a few more times your officer kicks like a fool and throws a tantrum...
Seriously.. I’d question Rep. Adrian Tam and those other state representatives. In a perfect world this would deescalate the way they want to. But being realistically, these young boys got themselves into this mess and resisted police that were trying to keep the community safe. Props to them for using their hands too.
Stupid liberals officials are destroying Hawaii
Wrong. Stop looking at police as authority because there not. There law enforcement. All public workers that had anything to do with this needs to do better.
Right, obey the law and there are no problems. Why does Reb Tam make negative comments? Has he ever tried to deal with drunk druggies? Let him do the job, then he can question.
This guy is my district representative and I think he's an idiot. He's a young boy and doesn't know what he's doing. Don't know why he keeps getting elected. We have so much homelessness and crime in our district it's ridiculous.
@Ricky D Not so much. HPD has a long record and history of violations and nothing gets done about it.
Support the HPD 100%
Nah!!
Rep. Adrian Tam speaks out against the actions of HPD, and so does KITV reporter and Neighborhood board member. However, the facts leading up to the arrest is not presented in this report. Shame on all you who speak out against HPD, especially Rep. Tam. You should be voted out of office. We should be supportive of HPD and give thanks every day for putting your lives on the line. Waikiki needs cleaning up from illegal activity, it will take allot of work not only from HPD, but from everyone.
@@user-db9lz2yl7i Every police officer has a body cam. The police chief not talking now because still under investigation. The news people know this. Disappointed in KITV for a biased report, based on one bystander phone video. Those arrested could have avoided their arrest if they were more compliant and cooperative with officers. Hawaii needs to clean up Waikiki and allot more areas. Support HPD.
Its easy for be one monday morning quarterback. If they think its that easy then they should be one cop.
Don't trust the Woke media and their Woke politicians. That's what you get when the state is all democrats. I want people to like me and vote for me.
If HPD media liaison didn’t lie then it maybe a different story.
You have to watch out for these go soft on criminals but tough on cops politicians. Before you know it, Honolulu will turn into the nightmare that is SF, LA and NYC.
Some tourists think they can come here and do the same Mess they can do in Vegas,Lots of people drinking in the streets with their glasses of beer exposed to the view of everybody and we have lots of kids around,wrong message is being sent. Also lots of Driver’s crossing intersections at fast speeds against their red lights…we need HOD in Waikiki and all around the Islands.
Im so Proud if Our HPD and will support them 100%. I feel more Officers are needed In Waikiki to keep things in Order.
He poured their drink out. If he thought there was a minor consuming alcohol he should have made arrests.
So it does not look like a good place to go on holidays.
So many local scumbags also.
Agreed Penny, you don't want it to be like Los Angeles or Chicago or New York! I'm with you 💯
You sure that was a tourist?
Those were locals . I was there
Hard to know what happened before the video clip, but not a good idea to be arguing with a cop if you’re drunk.
Or to argue with a bunch of cops...bad idea.
You're not wrong.
Why do you suspect he was drunk from this video?
Being a cop 👮♀️ is tough! I support HPD! Keep in mind that if people listen to the direct commands of the officers their would be no need for a triple person take down like this….
Leave, you have 2 seconds as he turns he grabs him. Great job giving direct concise commands. Like, “Drop your weapon, hands up”
So if an officer tells you to get in his car so he can make out with you you going to comply
@@divergentthg7925 you win the award for stupidest comment of 2022
Lmao. Ignorant of your rights is dangerous. A cop has no authority until laws come into play. Which In turn is the problem. because most officers don't know the law to the extent they should.
So Honolulu cops job being difficult justifies them falsifying reports?
Way to go HPD!....Way to go, clean up the trash polluting our streets....
The police did a good job not throwing punches. The guy was acting rowdy and resisting arrest. I see that BS all the time in Waikiki.
The guy walked away after saying something. The question is, what did the guy say?
Good thing this wasn't in the 70s
always haoles..........always.
They posted this same video from earlier. Guess kitv didn’t like the comments posted on that one so they reposted another video showing the shoddy and bias reporting by Jeremy Lee.
Totally bias
So true
Yes they sure did. I posted comment too and now it's gone😂😂 so much for transparency
Jeremy Lee is an awful reporter on top of it. Kitv is following the national anti police bias - that has caused this type of disrespectful behavior by these drunken stoned jerks. HPD showed restraint - no punches, no kicks, no taser, no batons.
Back up our Police - its a job no one wants to do and then news reporters like Lee question the Cops - not the behavior of these A-holes.
Of course it's necessary. Need tough cops for waikiki.
If you notice the suspects show disrespect to the officers by turning their back and not complianing. When the people begin to talk back and approach officers this is not respect. Then resisting is what makes it worse.
Respecting the police is not a law.
Now days no one respects anyone and they think that they can do and provoke because of filming and
What does disrespect have to do with anything? LAW ENFORCEMENT. That where there authority starts and ends.
No respect is not a law but is something that all people should show one another. Like common courtesy. Something that is much lacking in society today.
@@wesleychun3058 that's my point. The officers had no reason to do what he did. I do think more respect in the world would be nice. But that doesn't give an officer the excuse of arresting someone.
At least he didn’t get shot so he can fight it in court before a judge…Not everybody gets the chance. I have no issue with this take down.
Not gonna treat you as a nice guy, when they are there ti take out the trash. Gotta be tough
I don't always support police but rowdy drunks in Waikiki -- a place known for rowdy drunks and worse -- needs to be dealt with. HPD officers did the right thing in a tough situation.
How did they do the right thing? From this video the only thing they did was commit battery.
The guy walked away. After saying something. Depends on what the guy said. The police also lied on the report saying he was already hand cuffed. The cop sounds more suspicious.
@@chasbooth3054 Says you.
Next time the police should just arrest the man for allowing underage drinking and let the court deal with it.
Hey KITV, you might want to take note regarding this incident. Majority of the comments indicate people are getting fed up with crime in Waikiki. And crime in that location is going up.
Don’t criticize police on every little thing. Who’s going to want to be police if they are nit picked on how they handle everything. How would people like if there were even less police? Then what criticize not having enough. Who wants to do a job they are going to get called on for everything they do that looks negative. Think of all the things you do in your lives. Who is perfect out there? If anyone says they are, you are a lying. Try having drunk drugged out or mentally ill people in your face and see how you handle it. Just saying be real.
Well said!
i second that
That's right! Preach it braddah 🤙
Then do it yourself.
Brah, i see you guys changed the video,, original one it said the guy "complied".. it is obvious that the guy was resisting arrest when he yanked his hands away when he was being handcuffed.. HPD is trying to do their job and this brawl was totally on the guys drinking in public, supposedly underaged guys no less..
No he wasn't resisting arrest.🤓📚
how is that so? he was being arrested when his hands were being placed behind is back.. as soon as he pulls his hands away, he is resisting arrest.. you just trolling or ignorant?
God Bless all Police Officers..
uuuuh maui cops hate white people
KITV - just trying to make cops look bad sounds like they had multiple complaints of drunks asked the kid to leave and he ran that mouth and got what he got and shame on the representative he should go out and deescalate a drunk and see how good he can do it -
Outstanding policing!
KITV…is y’all blind?! 🤣🤣
News trying to make more controversy. HPD just doing their job.
Exactly what I’m thinking!! It sounds like they already have their narrative on playing this out!! Blaming the police that over reacted!! News twist things to create chaos and drama
Liberal hack news
So at 1:21 the cop told them to leave, “you have two seconds”, the cop said. Then not even two seconds later,” your under arrest.” Punks will be punks but that was a quick flip of a switch by the cop.
Waikiki needs to vote out Adrian Tam.
He warned the guy. Poor pooch no more master now.
Be careful what you ask for. If you’re going to complain about “drunk and disorderly” people in your neighborhood and you call the cops, thats the response you’re going to get. The public does not get to dictate how police enforce the law. You can’t have it both ways.
Used to live on Uluniu at the Ali'i. Was mellow back then. Town has to many tweakers and sketchy folks now.
Kind of easy to be an arm chair quarter back when you weren't even there! The police have a tough enough job, let them do it without your input!
I see an overzealous officer.
corner boys like island boys,,,koooooooooks
“De escalation.” Leave it to a politician to be absolutely clueless.
He has the right to ask what he’s being arrested for
Pictures says a thousand words or representation of what the actual outcomes really took place , just watch the video slowly use your common sense and logic. Was it a Hate Crime or aggression towards a civilian who was being ask to comply with the law? Is this Hawaii Oahu becoming like New York City, Los Angeles Or Chicago. If you really think about it the more visitors in Waikiki the more you will need Police Sub-station. More Patriol officers yes I believe the drugs and alcohol will be around forever and so Will Law Enforcement if not then how do you control the need to Commit a crime how do you put people in there respected places. People don't know how to control there alcohol some don't know how to Respect there environment around them.
The media are always stirring the pot of disharmony. These little punks need to be taken down hard. Thank goodness for law enforcement.
People need to respect the police, this would of had different results. Hello
"The video I shot raises some questions"🤣 Looks like the drunk spit on the cop.
It didn't look like that to me, but that would explain the officer's behavior better than if that didn't happen.
They probably could’ve deescalated that. It’s tough. They have a really hard job.
I feel bad for that stressed out dog 😅
Sarah, check out the video of a daylight arrest in Calgary which is on here and similar in many ways including a dog being present.
Agreed, I worried more for that dog than anyone else there. LOL
Didn’t the cop say you have 2 seconds? Dude walked away and cop was like ok I’m arresting you. Need to watch entire video though
In order to de escalate you need cooperation! I have been a cop for close to 30 years and have been trained extensively in de escalation and even teach a class. There is no cooperation from that guy. The officer told him to leave and he chose to get mouthy. Tell you what Jeremy Lee, come take a training class from HPD or better yet any law enforcement agency and let's see how you do! News flash, law enforcement can get ugly at times. It isn't as simple as please Mr. Suspect, please put your hands behind your back and let me take you to jail. Quit living in your fantasy world.
I support the blue
ME TOO!
I hope the dog wasn't hurt and is doing OK.
Me too, I hope the dog wasnt hurt in all of this. Poor baby looked scared and confused. 🙁
Where's the stun guns??? the police needs to get this under control - otherwise we will not have any safe streets at all on our Hawaiian island!!!
Police work is difficult without question. But that fat policeman who confronted that disrespectful drunk, who turned his back ignoring him and walked away, should not have escalated the confrontation by immediately saying, you're under arrest. That was a mistake. Then the other officers were forced to help take down and arrest that drunk man. That situation could easily turn into a disaster. If the drunk man was stronger and police shoot him, or gets severely injured due to excessive force. And later the HPD media liaison lied, to cover up the misguided police actions (unless the officer lied in his police report). After what happened to George Floyd, police departments were advised to avoid unnecessary arrests and de-escalate confrontations. The police were lucky that the drunk crowd didn't turn into an angry mob against them. That angry policeman should be reprimanded for his poor judgement. He already took away their alcohol, no additional action was needed. Feeling disrespected is not enough cause to arrest someone. That's police power abuse.
Back The Blue!
YES!
Defund the Blue
100% behind the HPD here. Policing is ugly work when those violating laws resist.
The fact that Jeremy Lee took cell phone video that merely shows a few moments of what is obviously a much longer situation is reprehensible…he’s obviously trying to make himself the story here and promoting himself.
Brah you know that people in Hawaii no care if it’s drunk haoles in downtown bars
3 cops and can’t even take a teen down? Such good training
Nearby Kuhio Building?! Weekend is completely different story. I have sceen more drunken brawls in that area. Strong HPD is needed.
From the back?
I support HPD!!!
Super random, but I still to this day don't understand how Hawaii is a state. It looks like a tropical island from a different country.
So glad I don’t live there that place is full of bad people and the good people go into hiding and barely go out it sucks
Act like a bunch of rodents get treated as such.
I wholeheartedly support all of the actions of HPD in this video clip. That was a righteous takedown, down with skill and without injury. Things escalate unbelievably quickly. They only had three officers for one crazy fighting guy. In the psych hospital we get six on one. Still not easy. I was impressed with their take down, actually. People who see that need to know what they are looking at and then they can see the high skill of those officers. Thank you, HPD.
Boot Licker
KITV is trash. I just happened to see this on UA-cam and it looked interesting. KITV, your job is not to pass judgement on HPD. Your job is just to report what happened. This is the reason I stopped watching KITV News years and years ago. I don't even know who is on staff anymore. Looks like they haven't changed. Oh, and Rep. Tam, were you there? Did you actually SEE it happen? If not, just keep your mouth shut until you learn all the facts.
Jeremy Lee ah shaaaaaddup
HPD doing their job is ok with me .
Honolulu police arrests victims of assult and robbery. And let the bumb walk . They are foul and lyers
To the elderly lady who wants cops to walk streets, (ideal answer), vote in a couple of 24 hour donut shops? Lol
I notice incidents like this are more common amongst those who didn’t grow up in Hawaii, and therefore have less respect for police authority. Also, if you are asking the police to deal with these blatant lawbreakers, sometimes physical force is required. Let the police do their job, because you complainers obviously can’t. Sometimes, force must be restrained by force. These are unruly criminals the police have to deal with, criminals aren’t gonna just roll over and comply.
Is the dog ok?
See ZERO issues here with the police in this instance. Kudos to the HPD.
That is a hot head cop and he needs to be suspended for escalating the situation.
Just listen! No talk back to the officers!
Welcome to Hawaii! Now go home.
That state rep needs to STFU! He probably hides in his house all day!
Ok, take HPD out of Waikiki, then let’s see what the Haole do….hilarious….
Is haole a racist term. Sounds like Hawaiians are racist
Rep Tam, go on a ride along and see how you handle drunks, or stay home and criticize. Neighborhood board members go out and conduct some citizen patrol, everyone has a good idea on how to handle noncompliant drunks. KITV guy, police can use force to effect an arrest. To many people challenge authorities and the media always feels sorry for them. Being a Police Officer is Hard. Hold people accountable and stop with “they should of done better”
Dude got in a holding tank to sober up. He’s gonna be fine.
1:31 “Did it have to get to this?”
Answer: YES!
If the drunk guy doesn’t comply with the officer’s command, there is no choice but to subdue the guy.
Never resist an arrest. Always settle it in court and if you're right it will be a big pay day for you.
Too much disrespect.
This is not spring break in Florida. Punks like that should not be allowed to get away with anything. I am very disappointed with Adrian Tam and Jeremy Lee.
UNBELIEVABLE
Police did everything right , good job !
I see nothing wrong with what the police did. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 🤡
KITV......You are showing the terrible mentality cops face today by the public...
2:15 Uhhh …”running” and “skateboarding” in the area are NOT violations of the law.
Jermy Lee better reassess his perspective.🤨
Public drinking then causing a commotion. Anyone in the habit of being critical of police behavior would see that all of this was fair by law and what we want in our society.
sometimes you have to be assertive, not everyone responds to would you pretty please with sugar on top.
DEMOCRATS!
DemoRATS!
Republicants can't get it up.
jeez, complaining public are a bunch of Karens!!
That wasn't even close to an inappropriate use of force. And that's only because they were haole and it was Waikiki. I don't think they would have been coddled if it were a less touristy place on the island and the offenders were local.
we need peace officers not gangsters hawaii 50
2:15 those darn skateboarders
Every night and especially the weekends that corner always has fights
So whats the problem here?
the cop jumped him.. his poor dog didnt know what to do.. that was just sad.. hope the officer got reprimanded
The option is not to have a bunch of drunks wanting to brawl. The police should arrest anyone that interferes making a dangerous situation worse.
Lee should keep his opinions to himself and leave policing the streets to professional MEN who are sworn to serve and protect. God bless the police.
There needs to be a level of respect from the public and a level of fear to the police. That balance keeps order.
You have no constitutional right to resist arrest
Harassing police an trying to get stupid with them should get them arrested
Was it necessary? Debatable. I give all the power to the Police they're just doing their job to ensure safety. We're all entitled and I think some people in this world needs to be humbled, otherwise there'll be chaos and our world is going to fall apart by 2040. People need to stop trying to be cool and just act normal.
Waikiki is like the media double standard, it’s impossible to govern
I totally support HPD.
