±«±Ê¶Ù´¡°Õ·¡¶Ù:ÌýThe Honolulu prosecutor’s office plans to appeal the ruling and still seeks to prosecute the federal agent in the killing of a Kailua man in 2011.

But it’s loaded with former police, prosecutors and judges, raising questions about whether it’s just a rubber stamp.

Officers were trying to serve a protective order in Nanakuli on a convicted felon armed with a shotgun.

At a cost of $3.5 million, Honolulu will equip all its officers with body cameras during the next year — following a step taken by many large urban departments.

The court ruled the city must pay for the defense of HPD officer Ming-Hung Nguyen because he was sued for actions “done in performance of duty.”

UPDATED: “I lied to the grand jury,” Jesse Ebersole says regarding his relationship with the city prosecutor.

More money and, perhaps, more time will be needed to put in place the much-needed new standards panel.

The 9th Circuit Court sided with a lower court, clearing the way for a lawsuit against HPD by the family of Sheldon Haleck.

UPDATE: All four county police chiefs also switched positions on the bill, according to Honolulu Chief Susan Ballard.

New court documents say the wife of the former Honolulu police chief and her lover worked together to hide their relationship from federal investigators.
