Next week the World Health Organization (WHO) is scheduled to <br /> vote on an amendment to take sovereignty of the world, which is a very dangerous and <br /> troubling topic. The WHO is unelected and funded by the Chinese Communist Party <br /> and the Bill Gates Foundation and they want to take over sovereignty of all countries' <br /> health matters. King Charles was coronated on May 6t" to be Lord and King of the <br /> World. Mr. Christie wrote to King Charles because he was to be anointed with a <br /> placebo holy anointing oil and he wanted to alert him. He understands this is out of the <br /> commission's and department's purview, but wants them to know he's gone to this <br /> extent because he's concerned about the sovereignty of Hawaii County and individual's <br /> rights. During the last pandemic, many individual rights were stepped on. Under federal <br /> law, it prohibits mandates of emergency use vaccines, there was a lot of mandating <br /> and coercion going on to take an experimental product, which has been proven to be <br /> troubling. He doesn't know to what extent the Police Department looks at this, but he <br /> hopes they do. He wanted this on the record and hopes it'll become part of the Chief's <br /> monthly report going forward. <br /> • Hope Cermelj came before the commission. She stated that officers wrote over 22 <br /> police reports and never followed through. After the perpetrator did all these horrible <br /> things to her, she got a TRO, which was violated many times and officers didn't follow <br /> through again.

The complainant's attorney Eric Seitz requested an open session. <br /> Attorney Eric Seitz, Kameanui Tripp-Gouveia, and Jake Kahele-Bishop came before the <br /> commission. Mr. Seitz stated this has become a much more complicated proceeding. He <br /> asked the Police Commission to do further investigation and to put off any further <br /> consideration or determination for at least a couple of months. This matter arises from the <br /> shooting death of Jake's brother who was shot by officers. From his review, there was no <br /> justification for the use of deadly force in this case, but this is a matter of litigation. The <br /> lawsuit has been served and is in its initial stages. Subsequent to that event, there's been <br /> a number of interactions between his clients and Officer Gaspar. During one interaction, <br /> his clients were driving to the Police Station to report what had taken place, they were <br /> intercepted by police officers, including Officer Gaspar, who was supposed to be on <br /> administrative leave, who ran up to their car, holding a gun when they had a child in the <br /> car.
