I guarantee you, if these rowdy guys were drinking outside of Tam's house, he would careless how rough LE handled the matter

Drunk in public and antagonizing the police after being told to disperse will get you arrested! Great job to the police officers!!!

Good job officers. And it goes to show how quick politicians are to judge when the evidence and body cams needed to be reviewed first.

The community needs to support the folks in blue when they deliver. This one was well executed, if anything it showed a lot of patience, Well Done.

I lived in Waikiki 1988-1992.......amazing how much the place has gone downhill.

Now people think they can do anything they want

Thank You HPD!!!🤙🏼

Proves that Tam is for himself, not the community. Whatever makes him look good.

Thank you for all you do!

No problems with the cops in this situation. HPD did a good job. However, love to see the crime stats the new chief is quoting such as how many assaults? how many robberies? etc. going on in Waikiki and around the island.

Ban drugs and alcohol then none of this would happen. Think they tough after being intoxicated

Looks kosher to me, I see nothing wrong except for public intoxication and belligerent peeps

Lawsuit! Sue them all braddah.

"you will respect my autoritay!"

The differences in perception are indeed different depending on the expertise advising. The narrative in combination with the video seem contrary to the point of gaslighting and double speak. Perhaps the real question is whether people and businesses actually feel safe when there are people around who do not listen to enforcement and the law, even when the numbers of crime episodes are down or if indeed there is police presence.

Respect the request of Law Enforcement and there is no problems .. ack up and see what happens 💪go Blue and shut it Down … keep Waikiki safe

Shame on Adrian Tam for badmouthing our brave officers risking their lives keeping us safe!

Even the blonde female grabbed cops to prevent that. She interfered as well.

If people would do what the officers tell them to there would not be push back, cocky pride or sarcasm among them. It’s ok to eat humble pie; (works for me) 🌺 Lei

Dejavu.....imagine this in Mcds on Kuhio with the FBI guy.....the locals gotta "chill out"....if they wanna act up, do 1 thing.......BE A COP! Isnt that dude who acted up, one haole??? thats typical!

Never judge actions off 5 seconds of video from bystanders.

Good job Officers -

Good job Blue...that's a rowdy street, more need to be arrested, 💙👍🇺🇸

Good job HPD.👍

Gaurantee they not from here

They're lucky Metro not around these days. Days of Last Kukui...

That reporter is the worse. Just trying to jump on the band wagon and bash the police. Find another job.

Wonder why Kitv deleted the original video😂😂😂. Blue lives matter🚔🔵

Good job HPD.

Police doing their job

Where did that dog come from??? What happened to the dog???

Stop criticizing the officers!

Dont comply and resist...thats what happens. SO...looks like you're blocking a sidewalk, those having to pass you have to step in to the street to walk by which puts pedestrians in danger. Smh

Bunch of drunks

Taking into consideration bla! bla! bla! rhetoric from all the backyard attorney's, & know it all citizen's....HPD Officers did and outstanding job!...They did exactly what my tax dollars are paying them to do....Deal with, Manage, Mitigate and assure all are complying with State, County and Federal Laws, Statutes, and Ordinances......

I agree 100% with The Chief. Politicians know nothing about what it is like on the street nor do they know anything about how to do a take down. That was an amazing take down! No injuries! That one officer who took the guy off his feet from the front is a martial arts star in my book. I am a former psych nurse and it is amazing how quickly things can escalate and require a take down. I wish I knew that front technique! Bravo to HPD for handling a tough situation in a great way!

Good 👏👏👏👏👏👏

imo a lot of incidents with police occur when they are too close within peoples personal space and the person wants to move but they are obstructed. I think that along with the obvious logic behind the 6ft disease rule, should be a 6 foot police encounter rule. It's not ok for the suspect in this case to stand that close to anyone, it shouldn't be ok for the police to stand that close to them. De-escalation requires enough space to behave and reconcile with the situation, and police tactics of "getting within inches of your face" are specifically designed to trap you so that any motion of the arms can be understood as offense towards the officers. I think this is unquestionably a practice that evolved from supporting discrimination, and should be eliminated from police tactics. If the citizen has their rights, they should have enough space to twitch without repercussion, and 6 ft is appropriate, I think, to observe personal space. Likewise, any citizen who comes within 6 ft of another citizen unwelcome, should be considered an assailant, and should be charged with assault. "getting in someone's face" is an assault, period.

i cant form an opinion based on the video provided

Ya classic. Now what.

looks like the guy was walking away 🤷🏼‍♀️

From what I saw. The guy was walking away in the video. Wonder why KITV took down the original video?

Hmmm. “They asked them to leave, and they didn’t comply”?? The guy they took down in this video is clearly trying to leave when the police viciously attack him. He defended unwarranted attacks, aka, “resisted”, as cops used physical violence against him as he attempts to, “leave”. Watch the video again if you don’t believe me. I watched it several times. The man seen making the biggest scene was left alone however. But after seeing the haole kid attacked for trying to leave, as the police claimed they asked him to do, leave, I don’t blame them for being aggravated. I lost respect for cops when the deemed themselves essential and stole from taxpayers during covid while helping force the real contributors of society out of business. Remember when they attacked a mom of two, and military veteran, at the Zoo for exercising her first amendment right to protest the illegal mask mandates and lockdowns?! I do!

Would be nice to recognize how officer safety is important. When crazies don’t listen, it can take 2+ guys just so that nobody grabs your gun or self-injured just to blame the popo.

Big boto ego 😂😂😂😂

Monday Morning Quarterbacking is very common with the Media and State Lawmakers.

Again, both sides didn't handle themselves properly. The officer roughed him up and the Chad got mouthy. Also: A reporter did they job, properly, which is to show what's happening in their city. Agree or Disagree, thats the freedom of the press folks..

That guy was walking away and was grabbed roughly by the officer as he is turning to walk away. Officer looked upset like he was ready to fight. Not sure what you are all seeing. Dont see what is so good about that.

Nicely edited video. Nobody is going to point out how 0:33 the official came over and just kicked him in the face was edited out? That's why his girlfriend and everyone else stormed him.

Thank god the chief had their backs. Good job chief!

#WAKEUPHAWAII#VOTERED

Embarrassing, three cops to take down one skinny haole kid. Get skilled up hpd And work on your fitness

Good job officers. Hawaii have weak laws. Should look at other countries and learn from them

Of course he sides with the officers. He's responsible for them. Which means if they're wrong, he's at fault. A little bit of conflict of interest...maybe just a wee bit?

Da cops was right here! Not inactive like politicians who like to string things out for years doing nothing.

What you don't see is the woman who was with the guy. They manhandled her. I don't think they needed to jump him. There is no more "crime" here than anywhere else. There are techniques that can be taught to deescalation. All cops, especially beat cops should be trained in these methods.

Good arrest that guy. He deserved it.

I believe the officers tried their best to get order immediately. When these people don't want to be compliant then officers have to be concerned about everyone, including themselves. I find it interesting the media supports disrespectful citizens who some being in stages of drinking alcohol and noncompliance. I believe media has always been instigators in these types of misbehaviors of citizens. Shame on you! I miss Robert Kekaula and the old crew!

99% of us were just wondering why it was so hard for you guys to take that skinny mainland buggah down. You guys need to learn some basic hand-to-hand skills.

One of the officers kicked the suspect though
