Off The Beat: Cop Accused of Dealing Meth Free, But Not Pot Minister
By The Civil Beat Staff 12/21/2011
An ordained Hilo minister who believes marijuana is a religious sacrament is about to spend his second Christmas in federal lockup awaiting trial.
Meanwhile, a federal judge on Monday released on bail a Honolulu police captain found with more than a half pound of methamphetamine and other drug-dealing paraphernalia in his home.
Where's the equity?
HPD Capt. Carlton Nishimura hardly comes with a clean resume. Even before federal agents arrested him for the drugs, he'd already been awaiting trial for corruption, tampering with a witness, and taking bribes for giving illegal game room operators tips before raids.

This is an outrage - Nishimura has already shown that he can't be trusted to be out on bail - but Roger Christie rots in jail. Hypocrites.
