KPD Blue: A Decade of Racism, Sexism, and Political Corruption in (and all around) the Kauai Police Department Reviews
KPD Blue: A Decade of Racism, Sexism, and Political Corruption in (and all around) the Kauai Police Department Review by Liz Stevens
This book should be required reading material for anyone considering a move to Kauai. It should definatly be required reading before registering to vote in Kauai. It would also be extremely helpful to potential tourists. One may decide to not waste their money or time on what is only a "vision" and not reality! After traveling here for 25 yrs and living full time for three, even with all it's warts and problems we can't wait to return to California. It has politicians that are less than desirable and many problems, but can't hold a candle to the corruption that is alive and well on Kauai! Aloha spirit is just another name for "give me your money haole, then go home"! Kauai seduces people, but again it isn't real. There are many beautiful places in America that are real and do welcome us! Kudos to Mr Sommers.
KPD Blue: A Decade of Racism, Sexism, and Political Corruption in (and all around) the Kauai Police Department Review by K. Oliver "4rmKAUAI" (Kauai, Hawaii, USA)
All the information/stories in here are true down to the last sentence of the book. Very easy to read. Took my roughly 4 hours to compelete it. It scary that all this is happend and to this day, those officals are still in office. Due to the lack of notifing the public. I've totally turned my perspective around when it comes to the Kauai Council. Me being only 21 years old, it was good to know the unknown history that Kauai has made public. I highly suggest this book to everyone!
KPD Blue: A Decade of Racism, Sexism, and Political Corruption in (and all around) the Kauai Police Department Review by The Capt. "The Capt." (Kauai)
After 13 years on Kauai, being a family man 'haole' raising my 2 young children here in one of the epic centers of racial hate, Hanapepe Valley, one can only say say you have to live here first to fully understand and believe this book.
It does hit the mark, and though there were mis-spellings, and some extrapolations on incidents, this probably comes from utter frustration and disbelief. It only gives just a few of the incidents, but this is an 'every day' situation here. They call it Hawaii's dirty little secret. This is one of the most beautiful islands in the pacific, with some of the nicest residents you could find, but there is a large pocket of them who fit this 'old guard' belief. Most are not Hawaiians, believe it or not, but mixed raced asian immigrants claiming 'Hawaiian ancestry'. Racism is 'poverty of the mind', bitterness toward change, and a need to 'belong or have membership' towards something you can universally hate together. It is a virus, taught from parent to children. Very sick, and it's time is well past and over in 2009. This from a man who has lived with remote islanders in the South Pacific, Australia's aboriginals, as well as Birmingham, Alabama.
Good for you Sommer. It's about time someone stood up and called it what it is.

KPD Blue: A Decade of Racism, Sexism, and Political Corruption in (and all around) the Kauai Police Department::Description
In 1995, the Kauai Police Department busted a prostitution ring on Hawaii’s “Garden Island.” KPD detectives transported the women back to KPD headquarters, took one into the watch sergeant’s office and closed the door. Then they took off her clothes and fondled and photographed her. Police supervisors looked the other way. And that was just the beginning…. Two police chiefs were hired to clean up the KPD. Both chiefs were forced out by mayors and a County Council who liked the KPD just the way it was: Racist, sexist and corrupt. If you think banana republics, crooked cops, corrupt politicians and unethical government bureaucrats exist only in the Third World, welcome to Kauai: 100 miles west of and 100 years behind the rest of the United States. KPD BLUE may be the only book about Kauai that contains no pretty pictures.
