it's the po-leece

So I'm just sitting here at my desk and I happen to look out the window and see 2 military cop cars pull up, a giant garbage truck, a MINIVAN, and 2 park maintenence trucks pull up to the little chinese pagoda thing across the bridge from my office.. They pull down this tent that's been up there for a couple of weeks, and start shoving it into the garbage truck. along with a couple of bikes..

There's 5 or 6 guys total. One definitely military (in fatigues and silly hat) and definitely a couple of SWAT looking guys.. complete with SHOT GUN! They have rubber gloves on and they're tearing apart the homeless camp in the bushes! I mean, I can understand wanting them out of the park, but where are they going to go? Especially after you've destryoed all of their possessions??

They also found some guy, questioned him for about 2 minutes and then looked through his bag and arrested him. But instead of putting him in one of the cop cars, they marched him the other direction! I have no idea what's going on here, but it's crazy that it's going on outside my window! And WOW! a 3rd car is now driving aropund the park! I wonder if there was a big meth lab in the bushes... it does stink over there. But what I also don't understand is why there's still a pile of stuff (maybe a person) and another guy (looks like one of the guys normally hanging out over there) still under the pagoda thing. How come they arrested the one guy, but didn't even talk to the other ones? And is it military just cause the park is ON Pearl Harbor? how come there aren't any Honolulu Police?

Htey've got this big garbage truck and they'redriving it all around the area chucking stuff into it, but not everything.. and now it's driving away. without taking down the camp in the trees - maybe it's full?

Crazy shit. I'll probably babble more about this later if anything more happens..

sounds like overkill for some homeless unless like you say their is a meth lab but homeless people usually can't afford the ephedrine and are hopefully not stupid enough to cook it in public like it's some hot dog vendor!!

it's not too public.. all the way through the park, away from the road, ON the nasty water of Pearl Harbor.
