Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist A shocking new report from the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women paints a disturbing picture of law enforcement and their role in sex trafficking. The report found that instead of preventing child and adult sex trafficking, many police officers are participating in it. The report is titled “Sex Trafficking in Hawaii: The Stories of Survivors,” which detailed the testimonials from multiple victims. One particularly disturbing part of the report was the fact that almost half of all the victims interviewed reported that police officers participated in their abuse and victimization. “The corruption of members of the criminal justice system reported by the participants in the study was pervasive in their stories of being prostituted,” the report noted. The report found that the average age of those being trafficked is just 14-years-old, showing how early the abuse began. One of the victims interviewed, who wished to remain anonymous for obvious reasons explained that “the same people that are charging you for prostitution are the people turning around and buying it from you.” Another participant in the study noted that police would even help to acquire the young girls drugs. The teenager was living in a drug house which had been busted by police and after the raid, the officer told the girl, “if you want pills, don’t mess with this little kid, you call me.” Khara Jabola-Carolus, with the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, explained that the abuse was extensive and on all levels of the spectrum. “This ranged from cops asking for sexual favors to more coercive situations like I’ll let you go if you do X, Y, or Z for me.’ Bring customers after hours in exchange for cigarettes or gas money,” she explained. When confronted with this information about the abuse of sex trafficking victims by police officers, Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard issued the following statement: “I am deeply concerned and will continue to ask the Commission to provide additional information so that HPD can investigate. We respect the participants’ privacy and understand why they do not want to be identified. However, if they can provide us with when or where the activity occurred and a description of the officer, we will investigate to the fullest extent possible. HPD does not condone the behavior described in the study under any circumstances.” While the idea that police officers are abusing victims of sex trafficking may seem outlandish to some, it should come as no surprise to those who’ve been paying attention, especially out of Hawaii. As the Free Thought Project previously reported in 2014, Honolulu police officers urged lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that allows undercover officers to have sex with prostitutes during investigations. For years, Hawaii allowed their cops to have sex with prostitutes and victims of human trafficking while at the same time arresting these women. It’s not just Hawaii either. In Michigan, police were granted immunity from prosecution if they had sex with a prostitute or a sex trafficking victim during an investigation. This was legal for law enforcement all the way up until 2018 when lawmakers had to get a bill passed to specifically outlaw the practice of having sex with victims of human trafficking. Both the cops in Hawaii and in Michigan put up huge resistance to the outlawing of sex with human trafficking victims, claiming it was necessary to catch lawbreakers. However, Bridgette Carr, a director of the Human Trafficking Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School, explained how cops used these laws to further exploit their victims. “What I do know from my own clients is that people who either say they are cops, who are cops or who are impersonating cops, know about this exemption and threaten my clients with it sometimes,” she said. Police officers using their power to exploit human trafficking victims is a common thread among many cases. On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all participated in the abuse. In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.

Deckard, you really need to recognize that you are so obsessed with what you see as injustices that it is all you can think of and post about. Your extremity and urge for defamation have become a psychosis. You have crossed of the line of rationality with your irrational statements. Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder is recognized as a mental illness. Dr Michael Linden, a Germany psychiatrist, came up with that name and says people with this disorder are angry, pessimistic, aggressive, hopeless haters intent on revenge. He went on to say that an estimated one to two per cent of the population suffers this all-consuming bitterness, and says "they are almost treatment resistant. Deckard, you have definitely become a one percenter. Stone, may I please suggest you remove this maliciously unsubstantiated and irrational charge posted here by Deckard. Thank you.
lol... Dicktard and Hondope have been going off the rails more and more... as Trump causes a militant Paultards true hippie colors to shine bright. This joint is like snowflake central. Haaaa

Here is a link to the report - https://humanservices.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Executive-Summary- Part-II-Sex-Trafficking-in-Hawaii-.pdf Enjoy!
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I am somewhat surprised that Stone allows them to continue. But as you have said many times, and I of course agree, it’s his site. So, C'est la vie – That’s life.
Sounds like many cops these days.

Good luck getting a rational response from the posters here who are stricken with obsessive authority fetish.

[….] Enjoy! However, I fear reading it since I long ago decided that reading the “litany” of spam links supplied by Deckard is a total waste of time and I quit reading any of them. I think that you obviously have read the report judging from your response. Therefore, I will ask you to please tell me: Did the report document an absolute fact that almost half of all the victims interviewed reported that police officers participated in their abuse and victimization. And if so: What creditability do you give the source? Thank you and I await your response.
I don't see that.
What a surprise!! Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Its easy to claim but hard to back it up with facts. Not say there are not bad cops but not like at all 50% claim. I just think this is more cop hating crap. Im really starting to dislike Libertarian extremist a whole lot!!!! You might as well fight with the far left or just left these days that way we can just end all freedoms and become a real full fledge socialist state with only freedoms being granted by a same group of corrupt people. You know socialism, fascism and Monarchism sure seem no more than an Oligarchy system to me!
It seems the report focuses on only 22 women. Those are very small numbers when you consider that there must be considerably more victims. This small statistical sample would more fairly be described as anecdotal, not representative. It doesn't seem like a serious study to me.
No need to even think about it. It is, it definitely is more cop hating crap. That is his primary reason for being here. It is an obsession. Welcome aboard. I got there a long time ago. It was when the Paultards showed how rude and irresponsible they were during the “Ron Paul Revolution.” I even have to snicker as remember that “revolution.”
It seems the report focuses on only 22 women. Those are very small numbers when you consider that there must be considerably more victims.

Thank you for also recognizing this, for your enlightening objective response to this and for pinging me to your post to learn some things I did not know but fully expected.
I feel certain that you sometimes run across your old posts, read them again and feel totally embarrassed. Why do you continue to make a complete ass of yourself?
You must be suffering from old-timer's amnesia. The only assholes who were rude and irresponsible were you, Byteshredder, Harrowup, yukon, GrandIsland and others of your freedom hating ilk. Posting trash from no-name blogs, posting insulting and sacrilegious images, acting like spoiled little children, attempting to equate Ron Paul supprters with terrorists...you and the other cretins were responsible for getting several articles pulled and posters banned with your outright lies. It's sad really that you still suffer from Ron Paul Derangement Syndrome The Paulophobe’s inability to follow the simplest of arguments that Ron Paul has articulated to substantiate his positions is rivaled only by his inability to resist casting one unfounded aspersion after the other against the twelve term Texas congressman. Within no time, at the mere mention of Ron Paul’s name, the Paulophobe’s last vestiges of reason become forever lost in a mountainous pile of straw man fallacies, non sequiturs, and ad hominem attacks.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I am far from being a cop fanboy. Met too many of the butthole mama's boys to really be on "their side". Having said that,I have a VERY hard time believing that crap about cops and children. Do a lot of cops go after "Free" BJ's from hookers in exchange for not arresting them? I'd say most do this. Do cops go after sex with children? MAYBE 1 percent of them,and the true number may not be that high. There ARE lines normal people just don't cross,regardless of their occupation or hobbies.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Yeah,it's a kneejerk thing they do to try to get a reduced sentence. It's kinda like when the doc smacks your knee cap with the rubber hammer,and your foot jumps. They are just playing the "Ise a VICTUM!" card and hoping it works.

I was not aware of that. Strange, isn't it? The process of enforcing laws intended to uphold morality creates more immorality. We got some of that in Houston - if you been reading the mail.
I suffer from nothing, Sonny. I am neither an asshole Paultard nor a stupid irrational libertarian. To paraphrase John Denver’s song: Thank God I’m a Normal Boy. And you can take those links you try to find reasons to throw in and shove them up your ass. I told you I don’t read them and if you think you anyone else does, I have news for you….THEY DON’T.
Oh my - is Tater having an emotional meltdown? I was just pointing out the truth after you embarrassed yourself by posting disgusting lies. I am neither an asshole Paultard nor a stupid irrational libertarian. But you ARE an asshole, stupid and irrational. With apparent selective memory.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Strange, isn't it? The process of enforcing laws intended to uphold morality creates more immorality. Strange indeed - as in most other aspects, cops are above the laws they are sworn to uphold. If you're not cop, you're little people.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Cops can’t have sex with prostitutes in Hawaii, lawmakers say Is this corrected information correct and accurate?
I used to have breakfast in a little place where I'd chat with the Houston PD in the morning. They seemed like OK guys, but some incidents would make ya think like the Carnaby shooting years ago. My wife got a bullshit ticket a ways back in a speed trap in the city and I know these guys are not past making a fast buck. Crime's lower here than in many big US cities. Some say that it's as the criminally inclined here are plain afraid of HPD because the boys in blue don't GAF. At the moment, Turner & Acevedo's department is in investigating itself for the homicide of city residents on a no-knock warrant during a raid that produced none of the evidence the undercover bust-in crew was looking for. Now the feds are opening up their own civil rights investigation. This is same FBI that let Hillary get away with compromising our national security, BTW. The FBI will only do what's good for the FBI, so no telling hw that will turnout. This is also mthe same department that gets its intelligence & manhandling training done in a friendly foreign country. Heh heh. I am glad that I live in the county. When I'm in the city, I drive like a saint. ; )
We've had a few articles posted about that in the past few weeks since it happened. Reason did a great job uncovering the real story. Unfortunately that happens far too often but don't expect the authority fetish posters here to admit that cops are ever wrong. This is also the same department that gets its intelligence & manhandling training done in a friendly foreign country. Heh heh. Yeah - I've found out that Israel has been training a lot of the cops in the USA.

I was just pointing out the truth after you embarrassed yourself by posting disgusting lies. You don’t know what truth is, Paultard. Is this what you posted and supported the truth:
I read some of them, especially the ones that look the most pro-American and anti-Gatlin. Michigan has a law on the books that grants the police immunity from prosecution if they’ve had sex with a prostitute during an investigation. Michigan had a law on the books granting law enforcement immunity while in the course of their duties. Public Act 195 of 2017 REMOVED the law enforcement exemption from prosecution which had been in effect under Michigan law. https://www.michiganvotes.org/2017-SB-275 Record of votes and signing into law of Michigan 2017 Senate Bill 275: Ban police sex with prostitutes (Michigan Votes) Public Act 195 of 2017 Record published by Michigan Legislature http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2017-2018/publicact/htm/2017-PA-0195.htm Public Act 195 (html) [as enacted into law] http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2017-2018/publicact/pdf/2017-PA-0195.pdf Public Act 195 (PDF) [as enacted into law] Link to the Report, Executive Summary, Part II. [Excerpt] Childhood Experiences Drugs COMMENT: "All 22 participants" "Of the 18 interviews" The sampling size is too small to support broad, generalized conclusions. Apparently, 4 of the 22 participants (18%) were not interviewed. 77.3% of the 22 participants were Native Hawaiian. All but 6 participants were Native Hawaiian. The miniscule sample of 6 non-Native Hawaiians is too small to support broad, generalized conclusions about non-Native Hawaiians. "100% reported using drugs and the average age of first introduction to drugs was 12.7 years old."
WOW... no wonder rabid feminist libtards and Dicktard feel there’s an epidemic going on. A whole 22 people. Dicktard will jump at any chance to propagate hate towards cops... even side with or post liberally written slanted articles.

"Of the 18 interviews" The sampling size is too small to support broad, generalized conclusions.

The miniscule sample of 6 non-Native Hawaiians is too small to support broad, generalized conclusions about non-Native Hawaiians. So...native Hawaiians like becoming child prostitutes 2-3 times more than non-Hawaiians? The numbers are ridiculously small to draw any real conclusions.
Boris started very young.
Thank you for your definitive response. So, please help me out here so that I may thoroughly understand this. Now if Michigan has no law granting law enforcement immunity and Hawaii has no such law, then this means that Deckard has once again plastered this forum with yet another bullshit article filled with slanted information [aka lies]. And all he succeeded in doing was duping the shit out of randge Do I have that right or am I mistaken somewhere?
How can one person harbor so much despise and hold so much hatred? Never mind trying to answer. It is a rhetorical question.
Do I have that right or am I mistaken somewhere? It may not be a matter of being duped, rather a case of perhaps too readily accepting an what I'd hitherto deemed an unlikely proposition. I'd always assumed that in actually employing a prostitute in gathering evidence for prosecution, LE would be guilty of entrapment, thereby spoiling a case. Deckard surprised me with his assertions about MI & HI, but he stated them in a sincere way, and I took them at face value. All this is well outside my bailiwick, but it didn't take me long to find an MSM article like the one below. It's a little dated, but it's from the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The freakin' world today is full of the unexpected. Ya never know. Hawaii police officers allowed to have sex with prostitutes It's what many are calling the strangest job perk ever: as part of their investigations, Hawaii police officers are allowed by law to have sex with prostitutes before they arrest them. Prostitution is illegal in Hawaii, and at a hearing on Friday, state lawmakers said allowing officers to be exempt only further plays into the issue of human trafficking and abuse. (Via KHON) SEN CLAYTON HEE: "Police are just going to have to be more creative than relying on special treatment when arresting prostitutes. It's really mind-boggling." (Via KGMB) Fox News reports the executive director of Prostitution Research and Education, which is based in San Francisco, says police abuse and prostitution go hand in hand. "... in places without such police protections 'women who have escaped prostitution' commonly report being coerced into giving police sexual favors to keep from being arrested or harassed." www.ajc.com/news/hawaii-p...rs-allowed-have-sex-with- prostitutes/DpmkFo8ooYW04jVlp6vlnO/

Above which law in the case here where randge is referring to for your response: It’s not just Hawaii either. In Michigan, police were granted immunity from prosecution if they had sex with a prostitute or a sex trafficking victim during an investigation.
Please cite the specific law cops are above here.
