Case 1:10-cv-00749-DAE-KSC Document 78 Filed 06/29/12 Page 4 of 31 PagelD #: <br /> 590 <br /> about the assault, but that Makua "acted with discriminatory animus" against Rohr <br /> "in retaliation for exercising her First Amendment right to broadcast the truth" <br /> about the assault. (Id. ¶ 60.) According to Plaintiffs, Rohr confronted other police <br /> officials, including Defendant Central Dispatch Division shift supervisor Miriam <br /> Kanaeholo, who withheld information about Andrews' calls and "expressed her <br /> discriminatory bias against [Andrews'] use of a video camera." (Id. ¶ 61.) <br /> Andrews checked into the Hilo Medical Center Emergency Room <br /> around 5:45 p.m. that day and Defendant Benny J. Ruffolo ("Ruffolo") allegedly <br /> agreed to meet Andrews at the hospital for an interview. (Id. ¶¶ 55-56.) However, <br /> Plaintiffs claim that Ruffolo never contacted them. (Id. ¶ 58a.) Instead, Ruffolo <br /> allegedly, under the supervision of Makua, composed an incident report, an <br /> application for an arrest warrant, and an "All Points Bulletin" to arrest Andrews for <br /> a felony assault charge. (Id. ¶ 66.) Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants police <br /> officer Romeo Fuiava ("Fuiava"), Richard Itliong ("Itliong"), and several other <br /> unnamed defendants allegedly went to the hospital and tried to get Andrews civilly <br /> committed but were unsuccessful. (Id. ¶¶ 67-69.) Plaintiffs allege that Fuiava, <br /> Itliong and the others then proceeded to arrest Andrews while he was in the <br /> Emergency Room. (Id. ¶¶ 69, 71.) <br /> 4 <br />
