HONOLULU (AP) - The former Maryland police chief who headed the Washington-area sniper manhunt three years ago graduated as one of 40 new Honolulu police recruits.
Charles Moose, 53, will hit the streets for patrol duty Monday morning alongside a police veteran. He graduated from the academy on Thursday.
"It's been a long time since I've worked the street ... but it's exactly what I want to do over the next several years," he said.
Moose led the task force that investigated the three-week shooting spree that left 10 people dead and terrorized the Washington area in 2002. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were arrested. Muhammad was sentenced to death; Malvo was ordered to serve life in prison.
Moose resigned as Montgomery County police chief in 2003 amid criticism that he was improperly cashing in by writing a book about the sniper case. He now lives in West Oahu.
Everyone entering the Honolulu department must start as a recruit.
"The physical part was very challenging, but I actually got better," Moose said. "It got an old guy into shape.
Moose was one of the most experienced and highly educated members of his class. He holds a bachelor's degree in U.S. history, a master's in public administration and a doctorate in urban studies and criminology, and also graduated from the FBI National Academy.
Fellow recruit Kawika Hosea, 26, said Moose "had a lot of insights and gave a lot of words of encouragement in the down moments."
How many white vans in Honolulu?
Moose was one of the most experienced and highly educated members of his class. He holds a bachelor's degree in U.S. history, a master's in public administration and a doctorate in urban studies and criminology, and also graduated from the FBI National Academy.
He will last about a year on the corrupt racist Hawaii police force. As do all the white mainlanders who try to join it.
Actually -- he may find himself right at home....
Moose is a racist of the 1st order -- a professional suing black racist.
Moose also proves that "degrees" don't always mean one is educated...
Semper Fi
He was such a giant failure in the Black Muslim Snipers.
Doctorate in urban studies....oooooh.
how are the Honolulu police especially racist?
Sounds like he might fit right in on the HPD then.
translated:
He took courses in how to hate whitey.
Yup. Doctorate in Urban studies? I can only imagine.
How to collect trash 510.
How to fight the police 533.
How to scream racism 310.
How to not catch black muslim serial killers 210.
How to pretend to be in charge 411.
How to say, "Nothing to see here folks, move along" 634
How to be a dumbass 665.
How to run as far as you can to somewhere else in the US 101.
When this was developing I told everyone the sniper was Muslim and had military training.
Moose botched everything and cost people their lives.
I wasn't aware of the other things. It all makes sense, degrees or not.
Yep. Like how fast he figured it out that a white, conservative Christian male was the sniper. He's a sharp cookie I tell 'ya.
But that wasn't profiling. Nope.
I'd heard that the natives in Hawaii were especially racist, didn't believe it that true.
He majored in Affirmative Action...
I bet he was hated by his fellow recruits. Don't you know he must have been a total know-it-all and pious, arrogant asshole when looking down at the "stupid, untrained" new recruits who did not even come close to his qualifications.
He's nothing more than a "brown nosing" politician...nothing else.
"I believe the suspects are all White men, in White vans."
"Arrest them."
Book 'em, Mooso!
