Merit Appeals Board September 30, 2020 <br />MR. SHOOK: I like to express that it's almost impossible to get any kind of information from <br />— <br />I like to express that it's almost impossible—it's almost impossible to get any type of <br />information from the Police Department on public information. <br />It was also—it's also impossible to send it to the right agency. My son, you guys supposed to set <br />the date for his hearing—was accosted during his application and thrown out of the station and <br />not told why. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Mr. Shook <br />MR. SHOOK: Yeah, I'm going to go <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Okay. <br />MR. SHOOK: So, we asked for information as to what and why. This is in June. The law says <br />ten days. Anybody else got to follow the law. This is the—and then, have you received my <br />request? Have you received our request for information? But we also sent it Mr. Brilhante. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: So, Mr. Shook, just a couple of things, yeah. You can continue but let me <br />just say a couple of things. Right now, we're not hearing the case— <br />MR. SHOOK: We understand. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: So—okay. So then, anything you say in terms of the case should also be <br />mentioned when you actually have the case, right, `cause this is the public testimony part. <br />MR. SHOOK: Yeah, I'm making an example <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Right. <br />MR. SHOOK: And I'm using dates. <br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Okay. <br />MR. SHOOK: And I'm using times where people like, why we're told to show up to the Police <br />Commission because that's where this case belongs. And we wait months to go there. We take <br />time off. We take this, we take that to go there and we wait for our turn and we're told to put <br />two to four hours on the side for this thirty seconds in there, the guys kicking us out. We're in <br />the wrong place. <br />Nobody, nobody gave us the information to come to this committee. The wahine that runs that <br />Police Commission one, never said this. We came to the HR and nobody gave us a form. I had <br />to get the form from HR, from the Mayor's office. It's almost impossible for the public to bring <br />a grievance and be heard. This is a paid Board. This is a public's grievance. Impossible. <br />Page 5 <br />
