The community is filled with outrage and deep disappointment at the Hawaii Police Department for the tragic and preventable death of K9 Archer. Leaving a living, breathing officer in a hot car until he died is not an “accident”—it is negligence of the highest order.
Police departments are entrusted with the protection of life. That responsibility extends not only to the community they serve but also to their own K9 officers, who give unwavering loyalty and service. To fail so catastrophically in basic care is inexcusable.
If an average citizen left a dog to suffer and die in a hot car, they would face animal cruelty charges without question. The fact that this occurred within law enforcement makes it even more shameful. Accountability cannot be optional here.
K9 Archer was not only a tool of the department—he was a sentient partner, a being who trusted his handler. His death was unnecessary, cruel, and reflects a dangerous lack of care and responsibility. This incident demands transparency, accountability, and meaningful change in policy so that no other K9, and no other family, suffers such a needless loss.
The public deserves better. Archer deserved better. And the world is watching to see if the Hawaii Police Department will value life enough to ensure this never happens again.
Yall a joke
Sitting at the bus station, watched 3 dudes beat up some dude...OK, fine, cops come out, don't even get out of their subs despite women and children just waiting for their bus having to deal with the cussing and violence. Fine, whatever. Well we all know what happens next, cops leave, and 20 minutes later an even bigger 2 on 1 whooping takes place and ends up with the guy needing an ambulance, right in front of the bus and the 2 fine upstanding citizens cussed out the female bus driver and just walked away free as a bird. Who knows what happened, but maybe do some police work the first time so innocent people stuck waiting for the bus in broad daylight don't catch a fist for just standing there after work (not the first or last time I've been hit, but still).

I spoke with an officer who was full of useful information, empathetic to my issue and very kind.
