Tenari and Kealoha have been friends for many years.  However, the mere fact that the Chief is under federal investigation and a grand jury is hearing testimony regarding alleged improprieties, should be enough for the Chief to step aside and let someone else take control of the day to day operations of HPD.  Virtually any other officer who was in the same situation would be immediately stripped of his or her official powers and be on Removal of Police Authority (ROPA) status. 
 The Chief was out and out lying when he said that Officer's were not put on ROPA until convicted or indicted.  Ask any of the ROPA Officers who are awaiting decisions from the Chief's Office as to their future job prospect with HPD.  The dissatisfaction among the rank and file of HPD grows more each day that Kealoha remains in the top position.  He should step aside, now!
