Two Honolulu Police Officers Charged in Civil Rights Abuse
By [Your Name], Grimy Times Investigative Reporter
Two Honolulu Police Department officers, John Rabago, 43, and Reginald Ramones, 43, were arrested today and charged in federal court with civil rights violations.
According to court documents, on Jan. 28, 2018, the two officers allegedly deprived an individual of his constitutional right to be free from an unreasonable seizure by a law enforcement officer.
The indictment alleges that the two officers conspired to deprive the individual of his civil rights and acted under color of law to do so.
An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty. The indictment carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the Honolulu Division of the FBI, and is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Tim Visser of the Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Brady. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marion Percell also participated in the investigation.
The charges against the two officers are a stark reminder of the importance of holding law enforcement accountable for their actions.
