Let the circus get started!  Honolulu just needs the most qualified and most knowledgeable Chief, not only in policing, but the culture of Hawaii.  Anything short of this is a recipe for disaster.  

Clearly, the members on the police commission also needs to be looked at.  What qualified each member to become a police commissioner.  Enough with the political paybacks!  We need police commissioners who are the most qualified and are not just political puppets.  Members who are sensible, good common sense (I know that's a lot to ask for), neutral, and there to serve and make good sound decisions!  A commissioner that won't fold to political influence.  Bottom line, one that will be fair to the public and the police.
