“..Hawaii policeman scolded for urging people to beat up tourists
Domestic authorities criticize the statement for promoting violence against tourists
Hawaii police officer has been reprimanded after suggesting that local residents beat up tourists.
The Honolulu Police Department issued a warning to the officer who made the controversial remarks on a popular local radio show.
The department said in a statement that the officer’s comments were inappropriate and did not reflect the values of the police force.
The officer, who has not been named, reportedly said on the show that beating up tourists who disrespect the local culture would be a form of “cultural exchange.”
The officer’s comments have sparked outrage among residents and tourist industry officials who fear the impact it could have on the islands’ reputation.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority said in a statement that violence against tourists is unacceptable and counterproductive to the state’s economy.
Local authorities are investigating the incident and have promised to take appropriate action against the officer.
The incident has raised concerns about the treatment of tourists in Hawaii and the need for education on cultural sensitivity.
Officials are reminding residents to welcome visitors with aloha spirit and to resolve conflicts peacefully, rather than resorting to violence.”
