Good job!
A cop caught a 21 year old On Foot? Must be suspect was drunk and a cop that is not over-weight. Awesome!
pretty dumb comment.
Why?
Are you implying that all cops are slow & overweight?
Relax! Breath In. Breath out. Feel better now? Good grief!
I think you are the one that needs to relax.
okay, let’s try, how much overweight was the car thief?
A lot.
Not one of the SHOPO representatives you see on their advertisement
Mahalo to this officer. How can anyone question the bravery of our officers? He cannot know for sure that the perp is not armed. During the foot chase all the perp has to do is turn at the last minute and shoot or stab. Officer would be wounded or killed in less than a second.
agree…good work. This drunk driver could have killed someone.
A local family at the park tackled the perp. The police only had to walked up and arrest him.
we need to start sending our criminals off the island with no chance to return unless they show a pattern of playing by the rules- break the law- live elsewhere- no need to put up with this s#!t.
If every state did this, den wot? And if we could do it, so could every other state. No can force people to leave. Not kingdom days, brah.
Braddah hit da jackpot. Suspicion of car theft, reckless driving, drunken driving and driving without a license.
How many pounds does a cop’s utility belt weigh?
Yes as reported , the police officer did not pursue on a foot chase. Not taking anything away from the bravery of our men and woman in blue cause they deserve every bit of credit we can give them.
The perp jumped out of his truck and decided to run into the field at Kokololio beach park. A family who was camping seen what was going on and tackled the perp.
Perp was held down on the grown until the police officer strolled up to make the arrest. This is all on video ????
