Retirement at the end of the month suggest sour grapes over not being one of the finalist in the selection of the new chief.  Maybe another victim of a police department that is running on fumes.  Max Sword is a problem that has plagued this department for years.  No experience, no courage, no leadership and no use to the citizens that depend on the police commission for oversight and transparency.  Officers and employees of HPD are frustrated.  A police commissioner recently resigned.  I view Okimoto's departure as a resignation with retirement benefits.  Hard to take any police officer seriously.  The entire situation has become a joke at the taxpayers expense and makes the line officers job more difficult with each passing day.
