Near Drowning, Kauai, Aupuni Hawaii, January 21, 2007
A man named Cody nearly drowned today at Larson's Beach on the island of Kauai, Aupuni Hawaii. He was snorkling in the shallows in the protected inner reef area when he was carried out to the crashing surf. He called for help to his friend Dr. Bob Wotring of Kauai Clinic. Dr. Bob went to Cody's rescue but was unable to bring Cody in out of the danger zone of pounding surf and reef edge due to the strong current and waves. Eventually a fisherman named Malani came to the rescue and he too tried to help, and managed to keep Cody's head above water but could not bring Cody in. Eventually Darrel Jarmusch of Kilauea came to the rescue using a borrowed snorkel and mask, but Darrel and Malani working together could not swim in with Cody and eventually he slipped from their grasp. Darrel was able to grab Cody once again and attempted a rescue but nearly drowned himself in the attempt after his borrowed snorkel became clogged. By this time Dr. Wotring was swiming near Cody and urged him to remain calm and assured him he would be ok. Darrel and Malani swam in to shore to get help and they gathered three boogie boards, some rope and a better snorkel. Then Darrel swam back out through the surf on a boogie board with two other boggie boards in tow. As Darrel reached Cody and Dr. Wotring a Kauai Fire and Rescue waterman on a jetski came riding over the waves to the great relief of Cody, Darrel, Dr. Wotring and observers on shore. Eventually a Coast Guard vessel from Nawiliwili showed up. All three men boarded the Coast Guard Vessel and were then ferried in one by one to the shore by the Kauai Fire and Rescue waterman on the back of the jetski.
The FBI Investigates The Kauai Police Department
HONOLULU -- The FBI is investigating the Kauai Police Department, KITV has learned. Local politicians said they welcome the investigation because the department has faced numerous allegations of corruption, cover-ups and favoritism.
Despite having many hardworking and honest officers, Kauai politicians and even the police union agree that confidence in the Kauai Police Department has never been lower. Many residents believe certain drug dealers operate without fear of arrest.
"I think right now the people are very concerned on Kauai because of the multitude of charges and counter charges and allegations," Kauai Sen. Gary Hooser said.
The FBI is apparently particularly interested in charges raised in a lawsuit by decorated officer, Darla Abbatiello. She said the department ignored a drug-dealer's bribe of an officer. She also said that the same officer was allowed to harass and threaten her and that she was demoted for complaining about it.
There are also complaints of civil rights violations by vice officers against innocent civilians.
The new police chief, K.C. Lum, who was promoted from the vice division, is also under fire. He's been accused of favoritism, lax management and his selection as chief has been tainted by ethics allegations.
"The department is not being led properly or else we would not have these problems in my opinion," Hooser said.
A source familiar with the FBI investigation said it is in a very early stage and that no particular target has been identified. It could take several months before authorities decide whether to bring federal charges.
Hooser and other Kauai politicians said they are happy the FBI is investigating.
"We need to sweep it clean, and again, restore faith and confidence in the department," he said.
Lum did not respond to KITV's request for comment. His supporters have said he is the victim of a power struggle and is being falsely accused by people who want him out.

MY KEYBOARD HITS HARDER THAN YOUR BATON
County of Kauai corruption is rampant right up and down the line from the County Administrators to the Kauai Police Department. Here in beautiful Hawaii, the County of Kauai has a reputed reputation for being the most corrupt island in the State of Hawaii that is known to not practice law, rather, to find out who you need to pay off and what the price is.
When Police conspire to suppress Civil Rights, they should be held accountable. What happens if the "defendant" does not have any evidence like the evidence that I have gathered? They usually get railroaded into prison for a crime they did not commit.
There are a great many people that are in prison due to a crooked cop and prosecutor deadly duo.

"My Keyboard Hits Harder Than Your Baton"
Inspired by the injustices that have been initiated by crooked police and prosecutors on Kauai...
Therefore, it is a MUST that I stand up to these corrupt police and prosecutors.
In doing so, I have taken their exposure to the ENTIRE GLOBE via the internet.
This clasic song with Johnny Cash and Tom Petty: "Won't Back Down" sums it all up:
I WONT BACK DOWN
I WILL STAND MY GROUND
Lucky for me I am also a computer and network analyst and have both the tenacity and the skill set to expose the real criminals on Kauai.... the ones hiding behind their badges...
I had always known that police and prosecutorial abuses existed but since it never happened to me, at the time, I had no reason to expose them.... until they gave me a good reason...
The case is detailed at http://www.kpinkerton.com
Stand firm against tyrants wearing badges.
I must give all the Glory to Jah for giving me the strength to battle these corrupted government officials.
