I am saddened that certain Honolulu Police Department officers were in attendance at the City Council meeting regarding a wrongful death settlement. Officers of the peace were showing support for their fellow HPD officers who shot and killed an unarmed Black man at a publicly advertised vacation rental property in Nuuanu in 2021, while the grieving white widow, Lindsay Myeni, gave tearful testimony to city officials. She begged them to help support her two young children in the aftermath of allegedly erroneous HPD actions that left keiki without their father.
